]~VALUATION OF ITEM: DATE: 4/Z/~Z
On May 14, 1991 City Council approved a change to the City Thoroughfare
Plan that removed Bethel School Road from the Thoroughfare Plan between
the limits of Denton Tap Road and Bethel Road. This road was shown on the
Thoroughfare Plan as a C2U. This is a two-lane undivided road in a sixty
foot R.O.W. The removal of the road from the Thoroughfare Plan was
requested so as to eliminate the need to reconstruct the bridge structure
over Grapevine Creek at Bethel School Road. At the May 14, 1991 council
meeting, staff was directed to prepare an ordinance abandoning the
roadway. In late January 1992, the field notes for the abandonment were
delivered to the City.
On March 10, 1992, City Council approved a request to temporarily close
Bethel School Road to allow for the construction of utilities and to allow
staff an opportunity to work out the final details of the closure with the
developer. Those issues have bean resolved and this ordinance will
officially abandon Bethel School Road from Bethel Road to the Big Cedar
subdivision. The remaining portion of Bethel School Road, south of the
Bethel School Road/Harris Street intersection, will be renamed to Harris
Street.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the Council meeting.
