BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The First United Methodist Church of Grapevine is the owner of all properties adjacent to Franklin Street between Scribner Street and Church Street, has requested that the City abandon the remaining segment (250 feet) of right-of-way (see attached Exhibit "A"). Council abandoned the eastern segment (346 feet) of Franklin Street February 2, 1990. The abandoned right-of-way will be retained as a drainage and utility easement after abandonment. The Replat of First United Methodist Church, being considered on December 19, 2000, reflects a continuous Public Access Easement providing access between Church Street and Scribner Street for the general public and for emergency vehicles to access the entire site. Staff recommends approval.
