Title
Approval of a Resolution to abandon a portion of Old Roswell Road.
Presented by Steve Acenbrak, Director of Transportation
Body
Item Summary:
Mansell Partners is the owner of property on both sides of the terminated portion of Old Roswell Road. They are requesting that the City vacate the former right of way since this portion of the road was relocated when Westside Parkway was constructed several years ago. The City accepted a Green Way Easement from Mansell Partners on April 23, 2012 but has not yet fulfilled the terms of the easement by taking the action to vacate or abandon the former right of way.
The Permanent Easement provides the City with a significant link in the Foe Killer Creek Trail system and the abandonment would enable Mansell Partners to consolidate their two parcels, formerly split by the road, for more efficient development. Staff anticipates developing a trail head on the recently acquired Mills Park property sometime in the future. Therefore, the abandonment of this property would not hinder the city's future trail development plans.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On July 25, 2012 the Community Development and Transportation Committee recommended placing this Item on the Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
N/A
