Novikoff, Inc., owner of all adjoining property, has requested vacation of the
north-south alley in block 24, Graham Park Addition, from Arlington Avenue
north to Richmond Avenue, as shown on the attached map. Vacation of the alley
will permit more advantageous development of the site for industrial uses.
Private utility companies, the Public Works, Water, Traffic Engineering and
Planning Departments have reviewed the request and do not object to the vaca-
tion. Texas Electric Service Company has requested, however, that the alley
be retained as an easement for existing facilities, and the Public Works De-
partment requested that five feet be dedicated along Uvalde Street and Arlington
Avenue for needed future widening of the streets.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed the request of Novikoff, Inc. and recom-
mends adoption of the ordinance that has been prepared vacating the alley as
requested, subject to replatting block 24, Graham Park Addition, retaining the
full width of the alley as an easement for Texas Electric Service Company, and
dedicating five feet of right-of-way along Uvalde Street and Arlington Avenue.
A replat of block 24 has been filed with the City Planning Department dedicat-
ing the additional right-of-way as requested.
