SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: Phillip Reid Matthews, II, Golder Associates, 500 Century Plaza Drive, Suite 190. Houston, Texas, 77073, on behalf of USA Waste of Texas Landfills, Inc., 9821 Katy Freeway, Suite 700, Houston, Texas, 77024, (James A. Wilson, Vice President), requested the non-acceptance of Unnamed Road North, from Clara Road west to its terminus, located within Clara Heights Addition and Independence Gardens Addition, out of the Washington County Railroad Company Survey, A-1185. USA Waste of Texas Landfills, Inc., will incorporate the street into its abutting property. 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 interest 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 motion declining the acceptance of, rejecting, and refusing the dedication of Unnamed Road North, from Clara Road west to its terminus, located within Clara Heights Addition and Independence Gardens Addition, out of the Washington County Railroad Company Survey, A-1185.
