Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Lynch Road - Deleting Street Segment as Public Street
INITIATED BY: Engineering Department
Recommendation: Approve the attached Ordinance deleting a segment of
Lynch Road as a public street and authorizing disposal in accordance with the
City Code.
Background: Lynch Road was segmented by the construction of the
Manchester Expressway in the early 1960's. The northern segment runs from Warm
Springs Road south to a permanent dead end at the north right-of-way line of
the Manchester Expressway as indicated on the attached drawing. Doug and
Jeannie Jefcoat have requested that the city quit claim our rights to the road
segment of Lynch Road from their north property line south the Manchester
Expressway north right-of-way line. They have contacted the other adjoining
property owners who have agreed to quit claim their rights to said road segment.
Analysis: Traffic Engineering installed Red Diamond signs to indicate the end
of this road segment just south of the Jefcoat driveway several years ago in an
attempt to stop dumping and to stop vehicles from driving onto Manchester
Expressway. Over the years there has been consideration of a new Manchester
Expressway interchange for Lynch Road, but there are no plans at this time. It
is recommended that should this road segment be quit claimed to the Jefcoats
that a Reversionary Clause be included to return said property back to the City
should we need it again for future roadway/interchange improvements. We will
have a resolution on the agenda April 10, 2007 requesting approval for the Quit
Claim Deed.
Financial Considerations: There will be no financial expenses incurred by the
City for quit claiming this property to the Jefcoats.
Legal Considerations: The deletion of a public road segment and declaring said
road segment surplus for disposal requires Council approval.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve the attached Ordinance deleting a segment of
Lynch Road as a public street and authorizing disposal in accordance with the
City Code.
