Title
Consider An Ordinance For Abandonment Of Public Right-Of-Way In The 1700 Block Of West Crosby Road And The 1500 Block Of Selene Drive To Icon Newco Pool 2, LLC.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a request from Icon Newco Pool 2, LLC, a limited liability company, or its assigns to abandon a portion of road right-of-way west of the cul-de-sac at Selene Drive and West Crosby Road, east of the right-of-way of the President George Bush Turnpike. This right-of-way was used for West Crosby Road until PGBT was built. The partial road right-of-way to be abandoned begins in the south line of the lot located at 1700 West Crosby Road. There are no roads presently in use in the part to be abandoned. The right-of-way for West Crosby Road to be vacated has not been in use since the completion of the Turnpike.
Newco Pool 2, LLC requests that the City abandon this right-of-way so the area can be conveyed and used for future development at this site.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City has valued the right-of-way at $23,637.50 and intends to donate same if City Council authorizes its abandonment to Newco Pool 2, LLC, who will pay for the recording the ordinance with the Dallas County Clerk along with any replatting requirements.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
In accordance with the City of Carrollton’s goal of enhancing and preserving the tax base through the attraction of quality employers, this action meets all criteria.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council adopt an ordinance authorizing the abandonment of the partial right-of-way on West Crosby Road and Selene Drive to Icon Newco Pool 2, LLC.
