Lennox Industries Incorporated, owner of the adjoining property, has requested
the vacation of Maxine Street from the north right-of-way line of the Rock
Island Railroad south to Haltom Road, as shown on the attached map. This re-
quest is made to eliminate a hazardous railroad crossing and to permit the
expansion of existing manufacturing facilities.
Private utility companies and City Departments have reviewed the request and
do not object to the proposed vacation, provided easements are reserved for
existing telephone and water utility facilities. The Public Works Department
also requested that a turn-around be provided at the south end of Maine
Street which will dead-end at the railroad.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed the proposed closing and recommends
adoption of an ordinance that has been prepared vacating the street, subject
to retaining an easement for existing utilities and that the applicant pro-
vide adequate space for vehicles to turn around at the dead-end. Lennox has
agreed to provide the necessary turn around facilities.
City Council action on the Plan Commission recommendation closing Maxine
Street, subject to retention of easements and providing turn around facilities,
is requested.
