Amendment of Right-of-way, and Sale
of Heatley-Moist ProDerty to Duke Realty
of
With the straightening of Ruby Road there will be a small
portion of our right-of-way, as well as a narrow strip of ground
previously part of the Heatley-Moist property, that will now be
adjacent to the Duke Realty property. Duke will pay $253,000
for the abandoned right-of-way in this narrow strip of property.
Those funds will be utilized to improve Ruby Road from Coppell
Road to its intersection with Freeport Parkway.
We have been working on this exchange of land and purchase in
order to improve Ruby Road since May of this year. We strongly
recommend acceptance of this proposal through the two actions on
your Council agenda for Tuesday, September 24.
If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate
to contact City Engineer Ken Griffin or me.
