SUBJECT: Request for a motion declining the acceptance of, rejecting, and refusing the dedication of Hoffman Street, from Kelley Street north to its terminus, located in the Kashmere Gardens Park Addition, out of the Harris and Wilson Two League Grant, A-32. Parcel SY18-061
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended City Council approve a motion declining the acceptance of, rejecting, and refusing the dedication of Hoffman Street, from Kelley Street north to its terminus, located in the Kashmere Gardens Park Addition, out of the Harris and Wilson Two League Grant, A-32. Parcel SY18-061
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Chris Short of Edifis Group, 3939 Washington Avenue, Suite 200, Houston, Texas, 77007, on behalf of Kelley Street Associates, LLC, 5825 Kelley Street, Houston, Texas, 77026, requested the non-acceptance of Hoffman Street, from Kelley Street north to its terminus, located in the Kashmere Gardens Park Addition, out of the Harris and Wilson Two League Grant, A-32. Kelley Street Associates, LLC will incorporate the requested portion of the right-of-way into its abutting property for future development. Since the City never paved, installed public utilities, provided any type of maintenance, or foresees any future need for public access, the street can be considered excess to the City’s needs and non-accepted as offered by the plat dedication. Since the street is to be non-accepted, no property interests exist that can be sold or conveyed. No money or other consideration will be exchanged between the City and the underlying-fee owner of the abutting property as value for any property interest. The Joint Referral Committee reviewed the request and determined the request could be processed as a non-acceptance.
Therefore, it is recommended City Council approve a motion declining the acceptance of, rejecting, and refusing the dedication of Hoffman Street, from Kelley Street north to its terminus, located in the Kashmere Gardens Park Addition, out of the Harris and Wilson Two League Grant, A-32.
