HUMAN Kr BRdIr. Joe H. Daniel has requested that the City vacate a portion of right-of-way
on the south side of East Lancaster Avenue in the 5650 block, 17 feet in width
StLARDI FAIGEand 293.6 feet in length eastward from Weiler Boulevard, as shown on the attached
map.
Subject right-of-way is located within the parkway of East Lancaster and there
are existing sanitary sewer, gas and electric facilities located therein. The
reviewing City departments and private utility companies have no objection to
this request provided the applicant submits a satisfactory replat retaining
the vacated right-of-way as an easement for existing utilities. Mr. Daniel
has submitted a satisfactory replat. The City Plan Commission has reviewed
this request and recommends adoption of an ordinance vacating the public right-
of-way as requested.
This 17 foot wide strip of right-of-way was originally declared excess by the
County Commissioners when this part of East Lancaster was outside the City
limits. In a number of cases, the adjacent property owners claimed the excess
right-of-way but in this case, it had not legally been claimed therefore, it
needs to be officially vacated by the City Council.
Recommendation
It is recommended that an ordinance- be adopted vacating subject right-of-way
as recommended by the City Plan Commission.
