ABQ Dedication of Right-of-Way on Denton Tap Road and Variances
Our File No. 300 pAR~,~d~{ BLV~). (~0£~r), ?~d.i~. ~
Dear Taryon:
This is in reference to your previous request concerning the above mentioned
matter. It is my understanding that the city is in need of some additional right-of-way
width adjacent to ABQ property on the west side of Denton Tap Road and have agreed
to dedicate this right-of-way to the city if Coppell agrees to the following conditions:
Building and landscape setbacks adjacent to Denton Tap Road will be
measured from the easterly limits of the area dedicated as right-of-way.
e
The area dedicated as right-of-way for Denton Tap Road can be used as
part of adjacent land currently owned by ABQ for computing project
densities of future developments.
Wayne Ginn's letter of July 29 recommends approval of this settlement which in
my opinion should be addressed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council
as a part of this platting process. The two requested special conditions should be noted
on the plat which is finally approved with a follow-up letter from the city approving
the two special conditions. It is my understanding that Mr. Jim Schell, attorney for
ABE}, will be submitting to you a letter offering the dedication in exchange for approval
of the two conditions. If approved by the City Council, the city should respond with
a letter accepting their offer. Since two conditions form a part of the acceptance of
ABQ's offer of dedication and are not sought as variances based upon hardship on the
part of ABQ, approval should be ultimately addressed by the City Council as opposed
to being considered by the Board of Adjustment as variances.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
LWJ/sb
