Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 17-15 authorizing the abandonment of the Richards Addition subdivision, Docket FPA 17-01 (National Pecan).
Background:
This is a request to abandon the Richards Addition final plat. The subject parcel 302-23-045 is owned by National Pecan. Two portions of the site are owned by Ronald Kohli (parcels 302-23-001-003) and German Madrid (302-23-023). The site is located north of Interstate 10, south of East Anderson Street and west of South Apache Pass Road. The site is developed with a Pecan Orchard.
The subdivision was originally platted in 1914 and recorded in 1919. The subdivision was never developed into residential uses. Instead the site has been actively farmed for many years.
On June 21, 2017, Mr. Charles Havranek, representing National Pecan brought this request to the Planning Department along with abandonment plat, the required $300.00 fee, and the land purchase fee.
The request was transmitted to internal and external agencies. All responses are attached to this report and summarized below.
The Right-of-Way Department had the following comments. Streets and Alleys of varying widths within Richards Addition were dedicated to the public on the map filed in Book 2, of Maps and Plats, page 107 are proposed to be vacated. Since these rights of way were dedicated to the public, the applicant is required to pay for this land. The Land Purchase Fee is $3,850 and has already been submitted to the County.
South Apache Pass Road and East Anderson Streetare both improved, County Maintained Roads and will remain unchanged after the Plat abandonment.
After the plat has been abandoned, the property owner is entitled per State law to again subdivide the property and sell no more than five parcels without a subdivision review by the County.
Transportation Planning, Sulfur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative, Inc and Southwest Gas state they have no objections to the abandonment of the plat
