Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request from the Diocese of Beaumont to abandon Archie Street between Forsythe and Fannin Streets. FILE: 615-OB STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of the request to abandon Archie Street between Forsythe and Fannin. This recommendation is subject to the retention of a utility and drainage easement to protect services existing in the street right-of-way. Saint Anthony Cathedral School of the Diocese of Beaumont is the applicant. The school is making this request in order to be able to offer mare protection for small children crossing the street between the elementary school and the now gymnasium. No new structures are planned for the right-of-way according to Reverend Jeremiah McGrath. All of the abutting property is owned by the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Beaumont. Several property owners in the immediate neighborhood have signed petitions in favor of the abandonment. Information concerning the request was sent out to interested parties. There is a 42" storm sewer in the right-of-way. Entergy, Southwestern Bell and Time Warner all have facilities in the street. There is no water or sanitary sewer in the street. The Traffic Division objects to closing the street. An easement will need to be retained to protect the existing services. Exhibits are attached.

O. Box 3827 Beaumont, TX 77704-3827 To Whom It May Concern: St Anthony Cathedral School is making application to the City of Beaumont requesting the closure of Archie Street, between Fannin Street and Forsythe Street. All property abutting the street to be closed is owned by the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Beaumont, and held for use by the school. We are enclosing a map section showing the portion of the street to be closed, In addition, We have attached neighboring "Property Owners Consent forms" consenting to the closing of Archie Street. The current request would permit the safe transport of children, ages 3 through 14 from the St. Anthony Cathedral School to the property across Archie Street, which is the location of the newly constructed gymnasium for the school. The majority of automobile traffic on Archie Street is generated by school activities, parents dropping off and picking up students. We ask that you seriously consider the closing of this section to help assure the safety and welfare of our children. Thank you for your help in this matter. Sincerely in Christ, ---A Most Rev.
