Ordinance 1st Reading - Right-of-Way: Consider an ordinance abandoning and closing portions of alley right-of-way abutting Lots 8 and 9, Terra Estates Addition to the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas.
Item Summary
The City of Lubbock is in receipt of a request to abandon and close a portion of an alley located adjacent to the north property line of lots 8 and 9 east of Oakridge Avenue, between 18th and 19th Streets in the Terra Estates Addition to the City of Lubbock. A new easement will be granted with the re-plat as necessary for any utilities which will remain in place.
The closure fee due to the City of Lubbock is $22,800, for the alley closure. These closures will allow Carpet Tech to provide access driveways to 18th Street.
Staff is recommending denial of this request for the following reasons:
The request only closes a portion of the alley.
The request encourages commercial traffic onto a residential street (C-4 to adjacent R-1).
The applicant has not submitted revised building plans that include the access drives being requested.
