MARCH 30. 1998 Requested By: Guv Rankin CfiJIl,- Department: Planning __ Report Resolution x Ordinance Exhibits: 1. 2. Ordinance Area Map SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION The City has been petitioned by Mr. Joe Camp to close, vacate, and abandon the alley in Block 117, Town of La Porte, the West "E" Street Right-of-Way between Blocks 117 & 124, Town of La Porte, and the northernmost 40' of the West "F" Street Right-of-Way between South 8th Street and State Highway 146 to facilitate the expansion of his dlealership. The Planning and Public Works Departments have reviewed this request and have determined that the City needs to retain a 16' utility easement within the West "E" St. & West "F" St. rights-of- way to facilitate existing utilities. Staff has solicited comments from the City's franchised utility companies and has determined that utility easements must be retained for Entex, H.L.&P., and Southwestern Bell in order to facilitate existing facilities within the area of the closings. In accordance with Article II, Section 62-358 of the Code of Ordinances, the HCAD x 1.75 method has been utilized to establish fair market value for the closings due to the fact that Mr. Camp's application predates Ordinance 98-2225 which revised the City's street & alley closing process. The HCAD method results in a value of $2.15 per square foot for the rights-of-way in question (containing a total of 39,124 square feet) resulting in closing fees to the City in the amount of $83,981.13. Administration concurs with this approach and option due to the fact that 11th Street, across the highway recently closed for $2.63 per square foot and we are offering no reduction for permanent easements retained by the City. Recommendation Staff recommends closing, vacating, and abandoning the alley of Block 117, Town of La Porte, the West "E" Street Right-of-Wa" between Blocks 117 & 124, and the northernmost 40' of the West "F" Street Right-of-Way between South 8th Street and State Highway 146, and providing for various easements to be retained by the City and its franchised utility companies. Action Required by Council: Consider approval of an ordinance to close, vacate, and abandon the alley of Block 117, Town of La Porte, the West "E" Street Ri!~ht-of-Way between Blocks 117 & 124, and the northernmost 40' of the West "F" Street Right-of-Way between South 8th Street and State Highway 146 retaining various utility easements.
