GRAHAM BUC MAN
WILKES MAHMNEYE. L. Baker, Jr., owner of Tract 3, W. D. Conner Survey No. 288, has requested
the City to vacate a portion of Holtzer Drive which adjoins his property, as
OWEN HARDY shown on the attached plat. This request is made to permit the right-of-way
REED HIGHTOV SR to be incorporated into the lot owned by E. L. Baker, Jr.
The original dedication for this section of Holtzer Drive was made subject to
any unused portion being returned to the property owner upon request. Follow-
ing this request, City departments reviewed the right-of-way requirements for
Holtzer Drive and determined that a surplus of right-of-way does exist at
the site in question. The excess right-of-way will not be necessary for
the proper development of .this street. This section of Holtzer Drive is open
but is not paved or guttered.
City departments and private utility companies have reviewed this request and
have voiced no objection to this vacation, provided the applicant plats the
vacated right-of-way with adjoining property, dedicates five feet of right-
of-way for the widening of Collinsworth Street, and reserves the vacated
right-of-way as an easement for existing utilities.
The City Plan Commission has reviewed the proposed vacation and recommends
adoption of an ordinance vacating the right-of-way as requested, ted, subject to
the applicant's platting the vacated right-of-way with the adjoining pro-
perty, dedicating 5 feet of right-of-way for the widening of Collinsworth
Street, and retaining the vacated right-of-way as an easement. A plat has
been filed with the Planning Department reserving the necessary easements
and dedicating 5 feet of right-of-way for Collinsworth Street.
City Council action on the City Plan Commission recommendation is requested.
