Subdivision
Lester W. Mathis, Joe M. Williams, and the East Berry Baptist Church, owners
of all abutting property, have requested that the City of Fort Worth abandon
all rights-of-way and easements in Blocks 3, 4, 5, & 0, Brandt's Subdivision,
as shown on the attached print. Messrs.Mathis and Williams, owners of all
property within these blocks, have acquired Tracts 2A, 3, and 4A, and request
the closing of streets and easements to permit better development of a
commercial center. The property was rezoned "F-R" Commercial on December 16,
1963.
Private utility companies, Public Works, Water, Traffic Engineering, and
Planning Department do not object to the proposed closing. on December 10,
1964, the Plan Commission reviewed the proposed closing and requested that
the owner file either a vacation plat or vacation instrument on this portion
of Brandt's Subdivision so that no lots of record will remain without street
frontage, to which provision the owners have agreed. The owners also agree
to remove curb returns at Little and East Berry Streets and construct new
curb and gutter on East Berry Street closing the former Little Street inter-
section.
The City Plan Commission recommends City Council adoption of an ordinance
abandoning the rights-of-way and easements as requested.
