PURPOSE:
The property owner has requested the closing a portion of O’Ferrell Street at its intersection with Edison Park Road. Staff requests that City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comment and to consider adoption of the street closing resolution.
BACKGROUND:
This request involves the portion of the right-of-way from the old cul-de-sac, which was removed when the road was extended southward.
The petition was signed by the property owners bordering on 100% of the right-of-way.
This street was dedicated as part of the “Property of Maxie T. Allen” as recorded in Plat Book 35 on Page 51.
The closing is being requested so that the land can be added to the abutting property to aid future development.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There will be no impact on the current or future budgets.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) feels circumstances here allow the City to make the two required determinations for a street closing: (1) that closing the street to vehicular traffic is not contrary to the public interest, and (2) that no property owner in the vicinity is deprived of reasonable means of ingress and egress.
The Planning Board recommended this closing at its August meeting on a vote of 8-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on September 17, 2019, the City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comment and to consider adoption of the resolution closing a portion of O’Ferrell Street at its intersection with Edison Park Road.
