ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Consider and take action on Ordinance No. 17-28, approval of the 22 Lone Star Properties' (Deano Merrigan) request to vacate and abandon a portion of 4th Avenue S.
BACKGROUND
The applicant owns property in the 3200 block of 5th Avenue S that has direct street access. The applicant also has property that is adjacent to 4th Avenue S, but lack of roadway improvements makes this tract land-locked. Abandoning this portion of 4th Avenue S will cure the land-locked condition and provide access through the entire property from 5th Avenue S.
There are existing utilities in this portion of street right-of-way that will need to be accommodated:
1. TNMP will need an easement from the landowner for existing electrical facilities
2. Texas City will need to retain utility easements for existing drainage and sanitary sewer facilities.
3. Texas City will need to retain rights to permit existing and future private pipeline installations and repairs.
The Planning Board reviewed this request at their Sept 18th meeting and is recommending approval.
