FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Request for an abandonment of a portion of an unimproved 60'
street right-of-way
FILE: 675-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request subject to
an agreement with DD#6.
Bruce Craig is requesting the abandonment of a portion of a 60' wide
unimproved street right-of-way to the west of Adam=s Self Storage at
650 IH 10 S. Mr. Craig states that he would like to abandon the
right-of-way due to rodent and security problems. If he had use of
the land he would clean it up and maintain it. He would also like to
utilize the property to expand his self storage.
DD #6's Hillebrandt Bayou facility is immediately to the west of the
subject property. Initially, DD #6 recommended denial of this
request because of the possible need of this right-of-way for drainage
purposes. However, DD #6 and Mr. Craig are in negotiation to swap
properties thereby allowing for the abandonment.
At the time of the writing of this staff report, DD #6 had not
received a written agreement. Therefore, the Planning Manager
recommends approval of this request subject to DD #6 receiving and
approving of the written agreement with Mr. Craig.
Exhibits are attached.
