REQUEST TO ABANDON RIGHT-OF-WAY AT MIDWAY ROAD & I.H. 635
The meeting was called for the purpose of considering a
monetary offer by Mr. Bill Sanford for a triangular tract
of land at the southeast corner of the intersection of Midway
Road and I.H. 635. The tract in question lies in the old
right-of-way of Midway Road and will apparently not be needed
upon the completion of the new highway system.
Mr. Sanford reported that his client is willing to pay a
maximum of $1,000 for the tract that contains approximately
5,000 square feet.
The practice of the City accepting payment for abandoned
rights-of-way was discussed at length. The Council instructed
the City Manager to determine the legal aspects of this and to
determine the procedure that the City of Dallas followed.
No action was taken on Mr. Sanford's request pending receipt
of the above information.
ADJOURNED - 6:00 P.M.
Mayor
J. M. Orman, City Manager
