City Council Regular Meeting
August 13, 2019 |
| | | | | | | | SUBJECT:
Second Reading of an ordinance to close and abandon an unnamed 10 foot wide alley located in Block 1, Booty and LaSeuer Addition between 13th and 14th Streets, pursuant to Section 311.007 of the Texas Transportation Code, for the safety and public benefit of the municipality at large, to the owners abutting the alley’s east line; and to authorize the Mayor to execute all necessary documents -- Travis Baird, Real Estate Services Manager |
| | | | | | | | ITEM SUMMARY:
The City has received a request to abandon a portion of a 10 foot alley located in Block 1 of the Booty & LaSeuer Addition, between 13th and 14th Streets. The alley has never been developed as an alleyway, nor have any utilities or other public infrastructure been installed within the alleyway. It is currently, and has historically been, utilized as an extension of Lots 1-4, which abut the alley to the east.
This item would, if approved on second reading, pass an ordinance abandoning the alley and authorize the quitclaim to the owner of each Lot 1 through 4, as they abut the alleyway, the entire 10 ft wide section. The owner of Lots 5-8, located on the west side of the alley, has disclaimed any interest in the alleyway.
Staff recommends approval of this item.

$40. Each owner must pay $10 as the value of the alley, its alignment and width make it unusable by the City. |
