HomeMy WebLinkAbout734-OB DATE: October 20, 2008 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Consider a request for an abandonment of a portion of Chinn Lane FILE: 734-OB STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Retain an exclusive 20' sanitary sewer easement (Water Utilities) 2. The easement will need to be prepared, signed and sealed by a State of Texas Registered Professional Land Surveyor.(Water Utilities) 3. No structures or appurtenances shall be placed within the easement property.(Water Utilities) 4. Water Utilities will not be responsible for any surface restoration if any sanitary sewer main repairs are necessary.(Water Utilities) Capital One, N.A., agent for Rosedale Ventures, LP, has applied for an abandonment of a portion of Chinn Lane that exists between Major and Walker. Chinn Lane, east of Walker, is an improved street. In 1981, the City of Beaumont accepted the right-of-way from the neighboring property owners for the purpose of extending Chinn to Major. However, that portion of Chinn, between Major and Walker was never improved and the City now has no intention of constructing the street. Because the City is not going to construct the street, the property owners to either side of the subject property have requested that this portion of Chinn be abandoned. This item was sent to all interested parties. Water Utilities has two 12" sanitary sewer force mains within the Chinn Lane right-of-way. They conditioned approval subject to the four conditions previously listed. Exhibits are attached.
