INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: February 9, 2021
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ronald "Ron" Burton, City Manager
From: Pamela D. Langford, Director of Planning & Development Services
RE: P.R. NO. 21807 —A resolution calling for a public hearing to consider a
proposed abandonment for approximately 0.2754-acre of land consisting
of portions of city street right-of-way.
Introduction:
The intent of this Agenda Item is to request a public hearing to consider a proposed
abandonment for approximately 0.2754-acre of land consisting of portion of the
following right-of-way:
• 60' x 200' portion of South 10th Avenue
The purpose of this request is to abandon a portion of unimproved public right-of-way
for residential use/development (i.e., single-family home)
The City's Public Works Departments has requested that the property be graded to
allow stormwater to drain towards Mechanic Street. Also noting that "no stormwater
shall drain onto adjacent properties before and after structures are built."
Background:
The applicant, Henry J. Semour submitted a request to the City for the abandonment of
the above-referenced portion of right-of-way for the purpose of resolving a cloud
currently on the title due to residential structure being built on right-of-way.
A cloud on title is any document, claim, unreleased lien, or encumbrance that might
invalidate or impair a title to real property or make the title doubtful. Clouds on the title
are usually discovered during a title search.
On February 1, 2021, the Port Arthur Planning and Zoning Commission held a public
hearing to discuss the proposed abandonment. In a vote of 3:0, the Commission
recommended that the request is approved to allow the applicant to proceed with the
sale of real property.
In accordance with Article VI, Section 94.383(b)(2) of the Port Arthur Code of
Ordinances, five (5) notices were mailed to each property owner within 200 feet and
published in the official newspaper of the city, which was published in the Port Arthur
News on January 16, 2021.
There were no property owners to speak in opposition of the proposed request.
Budget Impact:
None
Recommendation:
It is recommended that City Council approve P.R. No. 21807, calling for a public hearing
to consider a proposed abandonment for approximately 0.2754-acre of land consisting
of portion of the following right-of-way:
• 60' x 200' portion of South 10th Avenue
A public hearing shall be held on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 6:00 p.m.
