SUBJECT: Consider a request for the closure of a segment of Main and Pearl Streets.
FILE: 909-OB (PZ2020-150)
STAFF REPORT
Tim Ocnaschek, City of Beaumont Emergency Management Coordinator, has requested the
closure of aportion of the right-of-way on Main and Pearl Streets. These two (2) streets flank the
downtown police station. The streets are currently open for public access, often creating problems
for officers coming and going from the facility.
All utilities and interested parties were contacted. The only response received was regarding
access to the property. Although there are plans to fence some of the adjacent property, the actual
street right-of-way would remain accessible to those with access rights.
Staff recommends approval of the request.
This item was sent to all interested parties.
Exhibits are attached.
