Council approves 24,658‑sq‑ft right‑of‑way vacation for Riverbrook Realty to consolidate property
Summary
The Council approved subdivision case SUV25‑64, vacating 24,658 square feet of right‑of‑way to allow property consolidation at 3333 35th Avenue North; staff set a third‑right‑of‑way vacation fee at $36,987.40 and planning bodies recommended approval.
The Birmingham City Council on Feb. 17 approved a resolution consenting to the vacation of 24,658 square feet of right‑of‑way to allow the consolidation of property at 3333 35th Avenue North (subdivision case SUV25‑64). Roger Glow, subdivision planner for the city, described the case and noted the Planning Commission’s subdivision committee and the Community Development Committee had already forwarded favorable recommendations.
Glow said the third‑right‑of‑way vacation fee was set at $36,987.40. Kevin Misso of Riverbrook Realty told the council the building on the site had been vacant since the closure of Barry Foundry, and the vacation is needed to clear a flawed title so the owner can market or lease the building. Misso said the plan is to reactivate the property, generate revenue, and potentially attract tenants who would create jobs; he noted existing letters of intent with prospective employers.
After brief questions about vacancy status and job prospects, the council took a vote and the president announced the resolution passes.
