Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing on the closing of the Western 210 feet of LaBranch Street in Rolling Acres Addition. City Manager Townsend presented the request and stated it is located between Westwood. Shopping Center and Tuloso-Midway High School property; that the proposal had been circulated to the various departments which would be affected by such closing, and that it had been recommended that the Street be closed as requested provided Lots "E" and "H" are replotted as one lot and developed as a unit, and that a turn -around or cul-de-sac is dedicated out of the east end of Lot"H" or out of the Tuloso-Midway School District property, and that necessary easements for water, gas, sewer and drainage lines be retained, and that expense for any relocation of these lines and fire hydrant, be borne by the applicant. Mr. Townsend stated that his recommendation was that the street be closed with the provision that the necessary easements for the existing utility lines, drainage and fire hydrant, be retained and expense of relocations be borne by the applicant. Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 25, 1968 Page 4 Mr. Ira E. Hayley, applicant, appeared on behalf of his request and stated that he wishes to construct an apartment building on a lot which has been acquired, but does not have sufficient depth to accomplish his purpose and have the required set back. He stated that at one time the plan called for an entrance into West Guth Park to the adjoining addition; that when he purchasedhis property, he donated a street for this purpose; that it was agreed by the School District and the County at that time that if the City or County took this street they would give a like amount of land off of West Guth Park to compensate. He stated that since that time they have cut out two entrances and built fences eliminating the entrance on that side, Mr. Hayley presented his plans showing where it would be impossible to build the proposed apartments if the streetis not closed; that he had not discussed the cul-de-sac with the Staff, but that there would be a 150' area for turning and operation of the fire equipment. He stated that he would alter his plan so as to clearly differentiate the street entrance and the driveway. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Roberts, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Bradley and passed, that the western 210 feet of LaBranch Street in Rolling Acres Addition, be closed with the provision that easements be retained for the existing utility lines and drainage facilities, and that the expense of any relocation of said facilities, including Fire Hydrant, be borne by the applicant, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the closing.
