REQUEST FOR ROW CLOSURE-PHYLLIS STREET

A request had been submitted to the City of Crossville, asking for the closing of the ROW for an unimproved section of Phyllis Street. The unimproved section of Phyllis Street is approximately 215 feet long and 60 feet wide and is located in the Hillcrest Subdivision off of Old Jamestown Highway. There are two lots that front on this section of Phyllis Street, one of which has a house already built on it. The other lot is unimproved. There is a 7 acre parcel located at the end of the unimproved ROW, which fronts on the ROW of Phyllis Street and on Old Jamestown Highway. The lots that front on Phyllis Street were created on two plats [Plat Book 10 Page 88 (1996) and Plat Book 10 Page 489 (2002)]. Both of the plats state that the section of Phyllis Street is not a City Street, but a dedicated ROW.

Staff Recommendation: The closing of the unimproved ROW could be a hindrance in the development of the 7 acre parcel. If the property is developed, the best point of access to the 7 acres would be by Phyllis Street; however, that would require the developer to bring the unimproved section of Phyllis Street up to current City Street standards. Therefore, staff does not recommend the closing of the Phyllis Street ROW.

A motion was made by Mayor Graham and seconded by Frances to make a formal recommendation to City Council against closing the Phyllis Street ROW. Ayes (6) Dean, Graham, Cunningham, Moser, Harrison, and Burgess. Absent (1) Mayberry.
