1 of 1
Safeway Stores Incorporated, owner of Lots 3-7 and 18-24, Block 37, Rosen
Heights Addition, has requested the abandonment of the alley in Block 37,
Rosen Heights Addition, from the northwest right-of-way line of 28th Street,
northwest to a point twenty feet southeast from the northwest line of Lot
18, Block 37, Rosen Heights Addition, as shown on the attached map. Closing
of the alley will permit construction of a new store building at the inter-
section of 28th Street and Azle Avenue.
Sinclair Refining Company, the other property owner adjacent to the portion
of the alley requested to be abandoned, has signed a petition agreeing to
the proposed abandonment. Safeway has agreed to replat the subject property
and dedicate a 20 foot alley along the southeast line of Lot 17, from 26th
Street to the subject alley, to preserve traffic circulation, and a necessary
drainage easement requested by the Public Works Department.
Private utility companies, the Public Works, Water, Traffic Engineering and
Planning Departments have reviewed the request and do not object to the aban-
donment. The Water Department, however, requests that the full width of the
alley be retained as an easement for an existing sanitary sewer line. Texas
Electric Service Company also requested that the northeast ten feet of the
alley adjacent to Lots 1 and 2 be reserved as an easement for existing facil-
ities. Safeway has agreed to retaining the easements.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed the request and recommends adoption of
the ordinance that has been prepared abandoning the alley, subject to retain-
ing the required easements, replatting the property and dedicating the neces-
sary drainage easements and new alley-way. A replat has been filed with the
Planning Department dedicating the necessary easements and alley-way.
