City Engineer Bob Mosley noted that the applicant has requested the city abandon the alley that
runs along the North side of their property to enlarge the size of the property owner's lot to
facilitate improvements to his residence and to pave a driveway where the alley exists.
The alley was not improved therefore it was not suitable for traffic between Fairview Avenue
and Montclair Avenue. This alley is perpendicular to another alley that extends to Kerry Street.
The alley contained public utilities (Electric and Sewer). The public utilities continued across Lot
9 to Fidelity Street with electric utilities currently outside of the easement. As a condition of
this alley abandonment, staff recommended the property owner convey a utility easement to the
City of College Station across Lot 9 to Fidelity Street.
The following citizens spoke in favor of the alley abandonment.
Mike Luther, 614 Welsh Street and Scott McDermott, 500 Fairview Avenue
Council member Maloney made motion to approve Ordinance No. 2571 abandoning an alley
