Agenda Analysis

Analysis

This ordinance abandons Alley Number 442 and an Unnumbered Alley right-of-way between 17^th Avenue South and 18^th Avenue South. This abandonment has been requested by Vanderbilt University. This ordinance also abandons the existing utility easements. The Nashville Department of Transportation has determined there is no future need for this portion of right-of-way and all abutting property owners have consented to the abandonment.

Future amendments to this ordinance may be approved by resolution. This ordinance has been approved by the Planning Commission.

Fiscal Note: This ordinance has no cost to Metro. In the opinion of the Transportation and Multi-modal Infrastructure department, abandoned right-of-way has no market value when the Department has agreed that the abandoning of said right-of-way is considered acceptable. Additionally, the abandonment of rights-of-way that are unimproved, unmaintained, and serve no current or future purpose for Metro allows the abandoned area to be assessed for property tax purposes.
