Title
Consider A Resolution To Acknowledge The Expiration Of A Reservation Of Right-Of-Way At The Intersection Of Hebron Parkway And Old Denton Road To Affirm There Is No Public Need For Further Reservation Of Right-Of-Way; And Providing An Effective Date.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In August 1996, City Council approved an ordinance stipulating a ten-year reservation of right-of-way for the future construction of a grade-separated interchange at intersections designated on the adopted Transportation Plan. At that time the intersection of Hebron Parkway and Old Denton Road was designated to be a grade-separated intersection. As a result, right-of-way was reserved at this intersection when it was initially developed. However, since that time, there has been no plan for a grade-separated interchange at this intersection and the designation as a future grade-separated intersection has been removed from the Transportation Plan. As a result, there is no longer a need for a right-of-way reservation at this location. While the reservation has expired, due to language allowing further reservation of the right-of-way, action is needed to clarify that no further right-of-way reservation will be necessary.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications associated with the expiration of the right-of-way reservation. There are no plans for a future grade separation at this location and the existing right-of-way is sufficient for future improvements planned for this intersection.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approval of a resolution acknowledging the expiration and lack of further need of the reservation of right-of-way at Hebron Parkway and Old Denton Road for a future grade-separated interchange.
