Home My WebLink AboutPZ2022-125DATE: June 27, 2022 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Chris Boone, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Request to abandon a portion of Crockett Street, between Pearl and Main Streets. FILE: PZ2022-125 STAFF REPORT Crockett Street Development, Ltd,, Is requesting the abandonment of a portion of Crockett Street located between Main and Pearl Streets. This portion of Crockett Street has been partially gated for a number of years. There is an existing water line in the street, fire hydrants and a thirty-six (36) inch storm sewer line that outfalls into the Neches River. Due to these utilities, retaining the right-of-way as an easement would be required and a fire lane must be maintained for access to the front of the buildings. In addition, the existing acorn style street lights within the proposed abandonment would become security lights, within a private property upon approval of the abandonment. Security lighting is optional. Therefore, billing for continued usage shall be transferred to the owner or the lights will need to be removed. Planning staff recommends approval of the request with retention of the right-of-way as an casement, to include ability of the City to install landscaping and other decorative features as well as perpetual pedestrian access by the public, and the following conditions: 1. If approved, applicant shall obtain an appraisal and Title Commitment for the property to be abandoned at their expense. Appraisal and Title Commitment must be submitted to the Planning office along with proof that payment has been arranged prior to the itern, being placed on City Council's agenda. 2. Transfer of electrical billing for the street lights to Crockett Street Development, Ltd., or removal of the lights. 3. A fire lane with access to the front of the buildings must be maintained. This item was sent to all interested parties. Exhibits are attached.
