Commission recommends replat at 309 Henry Street with right-of-way waiver
Summary
The commission recommended approval for SUB-127-2025, a replat to split a 0.191-acre Oak Lawn lot into two lots and granted a petition for relief to avoid dedicating additional Henry Street right-of-way.
City staff presented SUB-127-2025, a replat application from Gilberto Escobedo to divide Lot 13R in the Oak Lawn Addition (309 Henry Street) into two lots. The replat includes a petition for relief from the city’s right-of-way dedication requirement; staff noted Henry Street currently has a 25-foot right-of-way while the thoroughfare plan calls for 50 feet and that the city does not plan to acquire additional right-of-way in the foreseeable future.
Staff told commissioners that the prior replat had been approved in 2021 but the approval expired; staff reported zero letters of opposition and five letters of support. Commissioners asked about an informal footpath near the railroad and whether a large tree on the site would be removed. The public hearing opened and—finding no public speakers—was closed. A motion to recommend approval subject to staff conditions passed.
The commission’s approval authorizes the mayor or interim city manager to execute associated documents; the transcript records the motion and that it carried, but does not show individual roll-call votes.
