Committee hears request to declare 20-foot remnant tract in Gill Creek Mobile Home Court surplus
Summary
City staff told the Public Works Committee a narrow 20-foot, 0.475-acre remnant tract running through Gill Creek Mobile Home Court is not needed for public use if an existing sanitary sewer easement remains; staff requested asset management be authorized to pursue a sale. No committee vote was recorded in the transcript.
The Tulsa Public Works Committee considered a resolution to declare a 20-foot-wide remnant tract of land, about 0.475 acres, running diagonally through the Gill Creek Mobile Home Court subdivision as surplus and to request that the asset management department effect the sale.
Committee chair called up the item and Roger Eastwood, with Asset Management, told the committee the city was contacted by the owner who surrounds the narrow tract and that the strip dates to a 1970 projection for a municipal sewer alignment that was never built. Eastwood said the strip has been served by outlying sewer lines for decades and that Asset Management and the utility review raised no objection to sale provided the existing plat easement remains in place to protect a sanitary sewer line that runs through the tract.
Eastwood said the city has no operational use for the sliver of land and that, from Asset Management’s perspective, sale to the adjoining owner is appropriate if the sanitary easement is retained. The transcript records the presentation and discussion but does not record a formal vote or final action by the committee on the resolution.
The item affects property within City Council District 3 and would, if pursued, move from asset-management review to whatever disposition process the city uses for surplus property. The transcript does not specify a timetable for a sale or further approvals required.
No direct public comments about the item appear in the recorded segment, and the committee moved on to the next agenda item after the presentation.
