Analysis
The City is completing a public improvements project to realign Yale Street (now Zane Avenue)
between Saxon Motors and NAPA Auto Parts. In doing so, the old street right-of-way needs to
be vacated as new right-of-way is being dedicated under the plat of The Crossroads 2nd Addition.
In addition, the drainage and utility easements that were granted under the original Crossroads
Addition plat need to be vacated in order not to encumber the property specifically, that of
Saxon Motors. New drainage and utility easements are being dedicated on the plat of The
Crossroads 2nd Addition adjacent to the Zane Avenue right-of-way and on the resulting lots.
The drainage and utility and street right-of-way easements are no longer needed and there is no
adverse impact in vacating these easements.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance, vacating Yale Street and
the drainage and utility easements within The Crossroads Addition.
