Reason for Closure

Comments / Recommendations

+
-- Planning: Planning has no objections to this closure. The closed portion will be added to parcel 109HA026 and allotted the same zoning (the O (Office) district with the HP (Hillside Protection Overlay)), per Article 3.2.B.1 (Interpretation of Boundary Lines).
-- Engineering: The City Engineering Department has no objections to close the above-described right-of-way area. However, 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 closure is not expected to impact any existing addresses.
-- Fire: Approved for closure.
-- Parks & Recreation: Parks and Recreation is in favor of this closure as it better aligns the property boundary through a land swap.
-- 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: No comments provided.
-- TDOT: The Department takes no exception to this request.
