V~q-IEREAS, after hearing the application of Greens Prair:e Investors, Ltd. to vacate and abandon
a 50 foot wide access easement, the City Council of the C~ty of College Station. finds the
following facts:
The location of a fifty foot (50) wide access easement crosses the applicant's
property and inhibits its development
The easement has never been used by the City and there ~s no infrastructure in the
easement
That the land use in the neighborhood appears to be stable and the use to which
this property ~s being put is not likely to change wathin the Ibreseeable future and
~s similar to the use to that oftbe neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the City Council after hearing the apphcat,on and finding the specific facts as stated
above now concludes and finds that.
The fact that the location of the fifty foot {,50') w:de access easement that crosses
the applicant's property would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his
property.
The fact that the land use is not likely to change within the foreseeable future
provides a basis for granting applicant's request to vacate and abandon a portion
of an access easement necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the
substantial property r~ght of the applicant.
The Ihct that the abandonment of a portion of the easement is not detrimental to
the public health, sat~ty or welfare or injurious to the property in the area: now
therefore.
