Re: Old Roadway easement
Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council Members:
This letter is written to request the vacating a portion of an old roadway
easement parallel to John F. Kennedy Road and lying within property of
Grandview Avenue United Methodist Church property recently platted as
Barton Randle Addition,
Dudng the surveying and platting process it was discovered that the roadway
easement established by platting in 1909 had never been vacated, even
though the roadway was relocated in 1954. The roadway has been known as
Dubuque to Burton's Furnace Road, Muntz Road, Old Timer's Road, County
Road No. 1 and renamed John F. Kennedy Road in 1963. The recent
reconstruction of John F. Kennedy Road and platting of Barton Randle
Addition has left a portion of the old roadway easement along the southerly
side of the road beyond the normal right of way width. We have worked with
the Engineering Department establishing and dedicating our property along a
line 33 feet from the centerline of the newly reconstructed roadway. This is
12.5 feet behind the new curb.
It is our hope that the City Council would release the old unused right of way in
order for the Church to properly landscape and develop the area. We will
provide the necessary exhibits to Engineering for this process.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jack Borchers, Chair
Board of Trustees
