BACKGROUND: In 2018, the City Council approved a partial closure of Ambrose Street right-of-way between an unnamed alley to Texas Avenue (Ordinance # O-151-2018, Planning File # 9-A-18-SC). The applicant is requesting to close the remaining unbuilt right-of-way of Ambrose Street west of the unnamed alley. The alley right-of-way will remain open.

COMMENTS:
-- Planning: Planning has no objections to this closure. The closed portion will be designated the same zoning district as the adjacent properties, the RN-2 (Single-Family Residential Neighborhood) district with the IH (Infill Housing) overlay, per Article 3.2.B.1 (Interpretation of Boundary Lines).
-- Engineering Department: City Engineering has no objections to the closure. Should this right-of-way be closed, the City will reserve easements for all drainage facilities and utilities, if there are any current facilities, located in or within five (5) feet of the property described herein. No easements are reserved if there are no current facilities within the closure area. If any existing facilities or utilities are found not feasible to the site development or use, they may be removed and relocated, subject to City Engineering and/or other applicable easement holder review and approval.
-- Addressing: The proposed ROW closure is not expected to impact any existing addresses.
-- Fire Department: Approved to close for fire dept access.
-- KUB: We have reviewed our records and, as far as we have been able to determine, KUB has no existing utility facilities located within the subject right-of-way area and we have no objection to the requested closure. However, KUB does not release and hereby retains all easements and rights for existing facilities, whether or not identified in our research.
-- AT&T: AT&T does not have any conflict with this request to close.
-- TDOT: TDOT takes no exception to this request.
