11/21/66 PZ-216
On May 2, 1966, Ordinance No. 5564 vacating certain streets in the Sycamore
Neights Addition was adopted in response to a request by Mr. E. R. Bahan,
representing adjacent property owners (M&C PZ-186). Subsequent review of
the ordinances abandoning streets in this area has revealed that portions
of Downman Street to be abandoned were omitted from the ordinance because
of confusion between the old and new alignments of the Trinity River. It
was the intention of the property owners and the City Plan Commission that
Downman Street be closed between the old Trinity River and Turnpike.
Attached is a map showing streets closed May 2, 1966 by- Ordinance No. 5564
(in cross hatch), and thatportion of Downman Street closed February 3, 1961
by Ordinance No. 4432 (in red). The portion of Downman Street which was in-
correctly assumed to have been closed by Ordinance No. 4432 (as shown in di-
agonal lines) is the portion for which it is proposed that a correcting or-
dinance be. adopted.
In order to carry out the intention of previous ordinances and correct an
inadvertent omission of abandonment of a portion of Downman Street, it is
recommended that an ordinance be adopted which will vacate Downman Street
from the ol& Trinity River south to the north right-of-way of the Fort
Worth-Dallas Turnpike as requested by the adjacent property owners and as
recommended by the Plan Commission.
