Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance amends the Geographic Information Systems Street and Alley Centerline Layer for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County by abandoning Booker Street right-of-way and easement, measuring approximately 10 feet by 113 feet along the south property line of Map 09207021800, 745 22nd North Court. The abandonment has been requested by Catalyst Design Group.
This ordinance has been approved by the planning commission. Further amendments to this ordinance may be approved by resolution.
Fiscal Note: This ordinance has no cost to Metro. In the opinion of the Nashville Department of Transportation and Multi-modal infrastructure (formerly the Department of Public Works), 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.
