thru 12, Block 53, Original Town Addition, Section 2, Block ML, El Lowe Survey,
Plainview, Texas, Hale County
APPLICANT: Darren Sowell VICINITY: W 5 St and Columbia
Cris Valverde presented this case for a request to vacate an existing 20 foot alley right -
of -way adjacent to lots 1 thru 12, Block 53, Original Town Addition, Section 2, Block ML,
El Lowe Survey, Hale County. The applicant owns the land adjacent to the alley and
plans to develop the entire block with a covenant store and gas station. The applicant is
requesting abandonment. City departments and local utility companies have reviewed
this vacation request. Relation of the existing utility equipment will be required and any
costs associated with the relocation of the utilities are to be the responsibility of the
applicant.
Staff advised the applicant of this requirement and the applicant understands the costs
associated with the relocation and will be the responsibility of the applicant. The
relocation of existing water and sewer mains in the alley is not necessary. The current
configuration of the water and sewer mains adjacent to the block allowing the existing
mains to be abandoned in place. Abandoning the existing water and sewer mains will
not affect existing service in the area. The applicant is required to either pay the fair
market value to acquire the alleyway, dedicate an area of equal or greater value, pay
only the higher cost of the fair market value of the relocation cost. The relocation costs
of $45,000 will exceed the estimated Fair Market Value of $12,539 of the alley right -of-
way. As a result, no fair market value payment will be required.
Notices were sent to property owners within 200 feet of the proposed vacation. Staff
received one comment regarding the request. The area property owner stated they had
no issue with the proposed vacation.
Given the fact that the unimproved alley will no longer be needed for public purpose,
Staff is of the opinion that the request is appropriate. Staff recommends approval as
presented.
Mark Hardin made a motion to open the public hearing. Rick Burke seconded and
motion carried unanimously. No response was made. Paul Drager asked if anyone
would like to speak in opposition or in favor. Contractor /Builder, Johnny Vickey came
