Title
Consider An Ordinance Authorizing The Abandonment And Vacation Of A 20.00 Foot Portion Of An Alley Recorded By Plat In The Dallas County Official Public Record, Instrument #201200174335 Located Between Lot 1, Block A And Lot 2, Block A Of The Carrollton Heights, Phase 2 Addition; And Providing An Effective Date On And After Its Adoption And Publication.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a request from Mr. Gary Sisco to abandon and vacate a portion of an alley right-of-way located between Lot 1, Block A (1211 Erie Street) and Lot 2 Block A (1205 Erie Street) of the Carrollton Heights, Phase 2 Addition.
The alley has never been paved and no utilities are located within the right-of-way. The alley right-of-way, therefore, currently serves no public purpose.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Staff recommends a sales price of $100.00 as the parcel is too small to develop and has little economic benefit or usefulness as a separate parcel. There are no financial implications from the sale of the alley right-of-way on the current operating budget other than the $100 in sales revenue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance.
