Council abandons short segment of Reedy Street to allow adjacent development; ordinance approved unanimously
Summary
The council approved an ordinance to abandon a small section of Reedy Street right-of-way to permit adjacent site development by Brightcove/Wright Coop; the developer agreed to reimburse the city for a required fire hydrant and a quitclaim deed was discussed as a follow-up step.
The City of Nacogdoches voted unanimously to approve an ordinance closing, vacating and abandoning a short section of Reedy Street right-of-way that lies adjacent to property owned by Brightcove and Wright Coop. Mike New, executive director of development and infrastructure, told the council the city does not plan to extend Reedy Street through to the South Loop and that prior rezoning of adjacent parcels to light industrial supports the developer’s plans.
New said the developer agreed to reimburse the city for the installation of a fire hydrant the city required, and the abandonment is intended to reduce maintenance responsibility for a scarcely used street segment and facilitate a subsequent quitclaim deed. A council member moved to approve the ordinance, a second was recorded, and the motion carried unanimously.
Item 6(b), a related quitclaim deed for approximately 0.30 acres, was introduced and staff noted the packet also lists proposed utility-rate changes and the proposed tax-rate materials; staff invited public questions and said details would be addressed in the public hearing and follow-up materials.
Next steps: After abandonment, staff will process the quitclaim deed and follow normal conveyance procedures; the council approved the ordinance at the meeting and no appeal or remonstrance was recorded on the record.
