John J. Cassata, Bishop of the Diocese of Fort Worth, and
DAVIS Michael G. Smith, owners of all abutting property, have requested
that the City vacate Morphy Street from Hemphill Street east to
South Jennings Avenue, but not to include the abandonment of the
intersecting north-south alley, as shown on the attached map. The
subject right-of-way, acquired by dedication, is open to vehicular
traffic, but is not paved. There are also existing utilities lo-
cated therein.
The reviewing City departments and private utility companies have
no objections to this requested street vacation provided the east
portion of the vacated right-of-way between the alley and South
Jennings Avenue is retained as a utility easement, the west por-
tion between the alley and Hemphill Street is retained as an access
and utility easement, the existing north-south alley is continued
by dedication across the vacated right-of-way and the vacated
right-of-way is replatted with adjoining property. The City has
received a satisfactory replat and the City Plan Commission has
reviewed this request and recommends adoption of an ordinance
vacating the public right-of-way as requested,
Recommendation:
It is recommended that an ordinance be adopted vacating subject
right-of-way as recommended by the City Plan Commission.
