PURPOSE OF HEARING — PUBIC COMMENT AND TESTIMONY REGARDING
THE ABANDONMENT OF CERTAIN UNUSED PUBLIC ROAD EASEMENTS
ON PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF SH 35, NORTH OF
BAILEY ROAD, AND EAST OF VETERANS DRIVE.
STAFF REVIEW OF THE CREATION OF THE ABANDONMENT OF CERTAIN
UNUSED PUBLIC ROAD EASEMENTS ON PROPERTY GENERALLY
LOCATED WEST OF SH 35, NORTH OF BAILEY ROAD, AND EAST OF
VETERANS DRIVE. Mr. Bill Eisen, City Manager.
Bill Eisen City Manager reported to accommodate the potential development of
the Apollo Project, staff proposes the abandonment of an unused 40 foot right-of-
way easement that bisects the proposed site. The process of abandoning the
right of way is one that would be required before the property could be platted, so
it makes sense for the City to move forward with the abandonment regardless of
whether Project Apollo occurs. There are three properties affected by the
proposed abandonment. The existing right of way is currently held in trust by the
City of Pearland, but if abandoned ownership will revert to the adjacent property
owner(s) by operation of law.
CITIZEN COMMENTS: None.
