TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Chris Boone, Director of Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: A request to abandon approximately 775 feet of the north end of Old Voth Road.
FILE: 899 -OB
STAFF REPORT
Mitch Brackin is requesting an abandonment of a portion of Old Voth Road, located
north of the intersection of Old Voth and Best Roads. This portion of Old Voth Road
is approximately 50' wide and terminates at Pine Island Bayou. The only other property
owner along this portion of Old Voth Road is the LNVA (Lower Neches Valley
Authority). The LNVA has signed the application in favor of the abandonment.
According to Mr. Brackin, this portion of Old Voth is frequented by individuals seeking a
hidden location for inappropriate behavior. A gated fence is planned to hopefully
eliminate this problem.
Both AT&T and City Water/Sewer have responded stating that they have facilities in this
right-of-way, but that an easement would meet their access needs.
The Planning staff recommends approval of this request with the retention of an
easement.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Exhibits are attached.
