TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Requests for abandonment of a 430' section of Burt Street, abandonment of a general
utility easement in Block F, Oakwood Addition and re -dedication of a 50' section of
Fulton Avenue.
•
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of these requests for the abandonments and re-
dedication.
As part of its continuing redevelopment of this several block area of the Charlton -Pollard
Neighborhood, ExxonMobil is requesting an abandonment of a 430' section of Burt Street,
abandonment of a general utility easement in Block F, Oakwood Addition and rededication of
a 50' section of Fulton Avenue.
ExxonMobil owns all the property on either side of that 430' section of Burt Street. The general
utility easement in Block F of the Oakwood Addition was put in place when the 20' wide alley
was abandoned in 1932. ExxonMobil owns all the property on both sides of the utility
easement. The 50' section of Fulton Avenue that is to be rededicated was abandoned in June,
2003 as pail of a larger abandonment request. At the time, it was thought that an individual
lived in a house located on Lot 14, Block 16. However, it has since been discovered that the
individual lives on Lot 13, thus necessitating the need to rededicate the 50' section of Fulton
to provide access to that property.
Exhibits are attached.

Reference: Street -Alley Abandonment's
Exxon -Mobil Properties
Dear Mr. Richardson,
Attached are the application and documents for the requested street and alley
closures for the subject Exxon -Mobil refinery properties fronting their refinery.
The request for abandonment's are consistent with previous street and alley
closure approvals for other Exxon -Mobil properties. Exxon -Mobil is developing
an electrical sub -station (existing) and a cogeneration plant to more efficiently
operate the refinery.
Also, our previously abandonment application for Fulton Avenue should have
stopped at 12 of Block 16, not Lot 13. Therefore we wish to rededicate that
portion of Fulton Avenue fronting Lot 13.
Legal descriptions are attached for the Burt Street abandonment and Fulton
Avenue re -dedication.
We would like to appear before the Planning Commission on October 20, 2003.
Thank you for your consideration. Should you have any questions or comments
please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerelv,
