TITLE
RD
AN ORDINANCE VACATING A 40’ PORTION OF 23 STREET LOCATED NORTH
OF LOT 1, BLOCK 38, IRVING PARK SUBDIVISION
ISSUE
rd
Should City Council approve the proposed vacation of a 40’ portion of 23 Street
located north of Lot 1, Block 38, Irving Park Subdivision?
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their December 12, 2012 Regular Meeting,
voted 5-0 to recommend approval.
BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting the street vacation so that he can assume ownership and
rd
maintenance of a 40’ wide unpaved section of 23 Street which acts as a no-man’s-
rd
land and is a common location for illegal dumping. The subject portion of 23 Street
dead ends into a main railroad line and there are no plans to abandon this section of
rd
the railroad right-of-way in the future. Furthermore, this portion of 23 Street does not
serve any houses except for the applicant’s residence and there are no buildable lots to
rd
the north. The northern 40’ of 23 Street cannot be vacated since there is a Board of
Water Works line located within the street. The street is adjacent to a subdivision that
was constructed around 2004. Access to a platted, but unimproved, alley located
behind the new homes and all of Block 38, Irving Park Subdivision will be maintained
rd
on the remaining 40’ section of 23 Street.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
