Jefferson County has requested that the City of Port Arthur abandon the north twenty feet
(20') of the Shreveport Avenue right-of-way that is adjacent to the Fourth Street right-of-
way in order to allow the County to construct a new office building. Section 272.001(1) (1)

development of said land for public purposes.
In 1969 by authority of Ordinance 69-58 the City of Port Arthur closed,vacated, abandoned
and relinquished the seventy-foot (70') wide right-of-way of Shreveport Avenue between
Fourth Street and Lakeshore Drive, except for the north twenty feet (20') of said right-of-
way adjacent to the Fourth Street right-of-way, for the purpose of reserving a public utility
and storm sewer easement; therefore no residential property shall be affected by including
the north twenty feet (20') portion of the Shreveport Avenue right-of-way in this
permanent closure.
On Friday, July 11, 2014, six (6) notices were mailed to adjacent property owners within a
200 ft. radius and the notice was published in the Port Arthur News on Sunday, July 6,
2014, more than ten (10) days prior to the P&Z public hearing scheduled for July 21, 2014.

of-way lying adjacent to the right-of-way of Fourth Street, the consideration for the
abandonment and conveyance of said right-of-way shall be:
a. the County constructs its new office building in the downtown area for public uses;
b. the County agrees to the existence, continued use and extension of the previously
reserved Public Utility and Storm Sewer Drainage Easement; and
c. the County agrees that Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7 (DD #7) shall retain
