Jan. 20, 19(4 PZ-88 of Old Handley Drive Iof —1--
The owners of a small tract of land bounded by Freeway I-820 on the east, old
Randol Mill Road on the north, old Handley Drive on the west, and realigned
Randol Mill ,Road on the south have requested the closing of a small triangular
section of odd Handley Drive adjoining the west line of this property. A plat
of the property is attached.
At the time right-of-'pay was acquired for Loop I-820, the owners relinquished
access rights to the 'tract from the Loop and the curve of the right turn lane
from the freeway ramp into Randol Mill Road. By closing the subject section of
old Handley Drive, the right-of-way will revert to the owners, permittdrtg needed
access to realigned Randol Mill Road, The property 's zoned "E"' Commercial.
Private utility companies have been contacted and advise there is no objection
to the proposed closing of right-of-way. The Public Works Department, Traffic
Engineering Department, Planning Department and Water Department do not object
to the proposed closing provided a water line easement is retained in that
portion of old Handley Drive west of a line 36 feet west of and parallel to the
east line of Handley Drive, as outlined in green on the attached plat. The
easement is needed for a water line now under construction.
On January 8, 1964 the City Plan Commission recommended approval of the proposed
street closing. City Council action on an ordinance closing the described
section of old Handley Drive is requested.
