On May 3, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4624-05-2016 closing a portion of Southgate Drive to alleviate traffic in the surrounding neighborhood. Over the summer the Texas Department of Transportation in discussion with QuikTrip requested as part of construction a deceleration lane along IH-20 that QuikTrip work with the City to realign Southgate or their entrance to their gas station to provide a safer condition.
Survey Consultants Inc., on behalf of QuikTrip, has requested the vacation of this right-of-way to be replatted with the adjoining property to realign the commercial driveway entrance into the QuikTrip located near the intersection of McCart Avenue and IH-20. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on August 24, 2016. An acceptable final plat (FS-15-263) has been received in accordance with the Subdivision Ordinance.
The City of Fort Worth (City) originally obtained the above mentioned right-of-way through the platting process. The City does not own any fee interest in the right-of-way or own any property adjacent to the rights-of-way and did not expend any City funds to purchase the right-of-way easement. In accordance with the City's policy regarding street and alley vacation transactions approved by the City Council on March 6, 2007 (M&C G-15624), Staff recommends waiving the fair market value or any portion thereof of purchase price of the right-of-way easement for the street and alley and repealing Resolution No. 4624-05-2016.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6, Mapsco 90T.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. |
