Title
Public hearing and ordinance authorizing the abandonment of an unneeded portion of the street right-of-way of NE 3rd Street between E. Church Street and E. Main Street, with contingency

Presenter
Assistant City Manager Bill Crolley

Recommended Action
Approve

Analysis
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance authorizing the abandonment of an unneeded portion of improved Northeast 3rd Street located between East Church Street and East Main Street.

The abandonment applicant, Uplift Education, a Texas non-profit corporation, has requested the abandonment of a portion of Northeast 3rd Street (see aerial Exhibit “B”). Uplift Education proposes to expand their campus and build a two-story primary school building. The existing right-of-way encumbers the site and would be on conflict with the proposed building limits (see property description Exhibit “A”).

Staff has reviewed the requested abandonment and recommends the street abandonment. Uplift Education is responsible for paying for any re-routing of City utilities or drainage required for this proposed building expansion.

Financial Consideration
$9,538 abandonment fee and $500 application fee to City.
