DISCUSSION Gerry Curtis, Surveyor, representing Kenneth Garrett, owner of abutting property, has requested that the City vacate the above-described portion of Granbury Avenue and portions of two 25' wide access and utility easements, as shown on the attached map. The subject street right-of-way and two access and utility easements, acquired by dedication, are open on the ground, and contain water, sewer, and telephone uti- lity facilities. The subject vacation request is made in order to replat the vacated right-of-way and two access and utility easements with adjacent property, to expand the building area, and provide more usable yard space. The required and appropriate monetary consideration has been placed in escrow with the Real Property Department, as required by the Land Agent for the City of Fort Worth. Reviewing City departments, and private utility companies have raised no objec- tions to this request, subject to the vacated right-of-way and the two access and utility easements being replatted with adjacent property, and any required utili- ty easements are retained. A satisfactory replat has been submitted, DAI.kcq Attachment APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL ~~~ ~ ~~~ ~~~~~~. ~~' ~ ~~ SUBMITTED FOR 'IHt CITY MANAGER'S ~ OFFICE BY DISPOSITION BY COUNCIL: PROCESSED BY ^ APPROVED ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT HEAD: JOe Bi l at"di ^ OTHER (DESCRIBE) CITY SECRETARY FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONTACT R.
