Home My WebLink About789-OB DATE: November 21, 2012 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request to abandon a 701.3' section of Jones Street running from the west right-of-way line of Wescalder FILE: 789-OB STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends denial. Jones Street, as platted, extends west of Wescalder a distance of approximately 4,100 feet with approximately 1,100 feet of that being within the City. The most westerly end of Jones Street dead-ends at a drainage canal. Along its entire distance, no other north/south street and/or right-of-way intersects with Jones Street except for Wescalder. To abandon the most easterly 701' of Jones will cut off access to properties to the west. According to staff research, the only access for four property owners is Jones Street. All other property owners along Jones Street have access to other streets. Wade Graham has applied for the abandonment of a 701.3' section of Jones Street running from the west right-of-way line of Wescalder. Mr. Graham owns the property immediately south of the subject property. He states that he has improved and maintained the right-of-way over the years. He says that the City has partially mowed the right-of-way once a year. This item was sent to all interested parties. No negative responses have been received. However, DD #6 has stated that since it owns the property to the north, it will obtain the north 25' of the right-of-way. It will need to retain an additional 10' drainage easement beyond the 25'.
