RIGHT OF WAY ABANDONMENT — INWOOD STREET
City Council consider adopting an ordinance abandoning a 7,000 square foot segment of
street right of way located adjacent to Lot 6, Block 3, Manor Oaks Addition (157 Manor
Way) and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The owner of Lot 6, Block 3, of the Manor Oaks Addition, has requested the abandonment
of a 7,000 square foot segment of street right of way within the west portion of Inwood
Street, adjacent to Lot 6, Block 3, Manor Oaks Addition, Lots 14 and 15, Block 2, Autumn
Hills Addition, and Lots 20 and 21, Block 1, Brookside Addition.
The segment of Inwood Street right-of-way proposed for abandonment is a 140' long by
50' wide dead-end segment, which is currently only used by adjacent property owners as
a grassed extension to their yards. The City has not used this portion of Inwood Street
right-of-way for roadway or utilities purposes since its dedication with the Manor Oaks
Addition.
The segment proposed for abandonment is not needed by the City for right-of-way
purposes. Since the City has no plans to use the segment, Staff recommends approval
of the abandonment.
