the Committee of the Whole. 

To order the closing of a certain public alley and the establishment of
easements in Square 236, surrounded by lots 48 and 62 in Northwest
Washington, D.C. in Ward 1.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this act
may be cited as the "Closing of a Public Alley in Square 236 Act of
2001 ".

Sec. 2. Pursuant to section 201 of the Street and Alley Closing
Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982, effective March 10, 1983 (D.C. Law
4-201; D.C. Code §7-421) ("Act"), the Council of the District
of Columbia finds that the public alley in Square 236, as shown on the
Surveyor’s plat, is unnecessary for alley purposes and orders it closed,
with title to the land to vest as shown on the Surveyor’s Plat. The
approval of the Council of the District of Columbia of this closing is
contingent upon the filing in the Recorder of Deeds division of the
Department of Tax and Revenue of a covenant between the District of
Columbia and the owners of the lots abutting the alleys to be closed that
incorporates the fire prevention and protection conditions required by the
Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department, and the easements and
other conditions required.
