Title
Ordinance Vacating a Portion of a Certain Variable Width Public Right-of-Way Designated as Grant Street Containing a Total of Approximately 0.066± Acres or 2,909± Square Feet Abutting Parcels Owned by the City of Hampton and Designated as LRSNs 2000961, 2001019, 2001021, 2001025, 2001026 and 2001027
Purpose
Approval of this ordinance would vacate, pursuant to Section 2.05 of the City of Hampton (the “City”) Charter, an unimproved portion of Grant Street, totaling 0.066+/- acres (2,909± sq. ft.), abutting City-owned parcels designated as LRSNs 2000961, 2001019, 2001021, 2001025, 2001026 and 2001027. There are no other property owners abutting the portion of Grant Street proposed for vacation. A vacation agreement is not warranted since the City is the only party abutting the Grant Street Vacation Area. This portion of Grant Street is being re-aligned and the area proposed for vacation will no longer be used as a public street. In addition, upon approval of the vacation, the City plans to vacate and adjust the boundary lines between several adjoining parcels in the vicinity, including the vacated former right-of-way area, to result in two new parcels of property for future development. The new parcels will be approximately 7.416 acres and 0.928 acres.
Rec
Adopt the ordinance.
