Council approves Duke Street closure and final plat for Milliken Heights Block 18
Summary
The council approved an ordinance to close and abandon a portion of Duke Street to adjacent owners and approved the final plat for Milliken Heights Block 18 (Lot 1 R) with staff-recommended conditions; the adjacent owner, Carol Dawson, was present to answer questions and staff said the closure would not adversely affect local transportation.
The Weatherford City Council approved two related items affecting Milliken Heights: an ordinance authorizing the closure and abandonment of an unimproved portion of Duke Street and final-plat approval for Milliken Heights Block 18.
Staff explained that an adjacent property owner, Carol Dawson, requested that the unimproved portion of Duke Street between Edna Street and Common Street be closed and deeded to adjacent owners. Staff said the city owns the property to the east of the section and has no plans to open or improve the portion of the street; staff recommended the closure would not adversely affect transportation in the area.
Carol Dawson was present and said she was available to answer questions. Council moved to approve the ordinance authorizing the city to prepare quitclaim deeds to adjacent property owners; Mayor Pro Tem moved the motion and Kevin Cleveland seconded. The council voted to approve the ordinance.
Council also considered a related final plat for Milliken Heights Block 18 (Lot 1 R) at 507 Edmond Street. Staff recommended approval with listed conditions; a council member moved approval with the suggested recommendations, Jeff Robinson seconded, and the motion passed.
No detailed roll-call vote tallies were provided in the transcript; council approved both items by voice vote during the meeting.
