    owners, or occupants of abutting land, or any other person have no right, or easement,
    or only a limited right, or easement, of access, light, air, or view by reason of
    the fact that their property abuts upon the limited access facility or for any other
    reason; and WHEREAS, an abutting landowner, Putney Landing Apartments, wishes to construct a drive
    for access, ingress and egress for its property to and from US Route 5 within this

    below is no longer necessary for Limited Access Facility purposes; and WHEREAS, VTrans desires to change the boundaries of the Limited Access Facility right-of-way
