Council Meeting

Department:	Development Services
Pillars:	Excellence in Asset Management

AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action on an Ordinance Repealing Ordinance No. O22-001 and Approving a Special Warranty Deed for the Dedication of Public Right-of-Way for the Extension of Bella Lane.

BACKGROUND:

At the September 22, 2020 City Council meeting, the City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the Town of Addison, Dallas County Community College (DCCCD), and the City of Farmers Branch to facilitate the construction of the Bella Lane extension from the Vitruvian development through Brookhaven College to Alpha Road.

In order to initiate this planned extension of Bella Lane, DCCCD and the Vitruvian development agreed to dedicate right-of-way to the City of Farmers Branch and the Town of Addison. This proposed 1.337 acre right-of-way dedication is needed for the portion of this project within Town limits.

This proposed right-of-way dedication was originally considered and approved by City Council at the January 11, 2022 City Council meeting. Since that meeting, the current property owner, UDR, has requested that the Town modify the dedication instrument to reflect a special warranty deed conveying the land for Town use in lieu of the previous instrument which defined this transaction as a dedication of right-of-way and a general utility easement. Procedurally, both documents achieve the same outcome; however, this form is preferred by UDR and will be used moving forward on any similar actions. With the approval of this resolution, City Council would also repeal the resolution that approved the original proposed dedication instrument, O22-001.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
