Commission approves right-of-way abandonment and replat to create single-family lot at 912 W. Bridge Street
Summary
The commission approved abandoning unimproved portions of Live Oak Street, North Scribe Street and North Lancaster Street and approved a replat to create a single-family parcel at 912 W. Bridge Street for applicant Jose Jimenez; staff said the rights-of-way were unimproved and notices were mailed to 30 addresses.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on May 12 recommended approval to abandon unimproved portions of three rights-of-way and approved a replat consolidating multiple lots into a single-family parcel at 912 West Bridge Street.
City planner Cody said the property consists of five-point-six-eight-seven acres and historically included parts of 15 different lots with three unimproved rights-of-way inside the parcel (Live Oak Street, North Scribe Street and North Lancaster Street). Cody noted a portion of Crite Street had been previously abandoned in 1986 and said the Bridal Addition development did not follow the original plat in many locations.
Staff reported that it mailed 30 notices to property owners within 200 feet and published notice in the Hood County newspaper; staff reported zero letters in favor or opposition. Staff recommended approval of both the right-of-way abandonment and the replat.
Applicant Jose Jimenez said he and his wife purchased the property to build a single-family home. Paul Ward, surveyor of record for Ward Surveying, identified himself as the surveyor and offered to answer technical questions. Commissioner Hayes moved to approve the right-of-way abandonment and Commissioner Daniels seconded; the chair recorded the motion as passed (vote described as “all in favor”; individual tallies not specified). The replat was approved by motion of Commissioner Hayes, seconded by Commissioner Daniels; the chair recorded the replat motion as passed (individual tallies not specified).
Staff will record the abandonment and the replat upon completion of required administrative and recording steps.
