Title
AN ORDINANCE VACATING THE UNIMPROVED RIGHT-OF-WAY KNOWN AS GLENGARY DRIVE.
Executive Summary: The legislation would remove this "paper" street and deed the land to the adjoining property owners.
Body
Legislative History
Planning Commission reviewed this matter at its meeting of March 9, 2015 and recommended that Council approve the vacation of the right-of-way. Glengary Drive is part of Lake Forest Subdivision which was recorded in 1930.
Purpose & Explanation
Lake Forest Subdivision was platted in 1930. The area of the subdivision was very large encompassing the area between Boston Mills Road and the turnpike/railroad tracks. Much of the subdivision west of Lake Forest was vacated in 1956 except 2.22 acres of Glengary Drive. The vacated area has been developed into the office complexes north of Boston Mills Road on Executive Parkway and Executive Parkway West. Lake Forest Country Club property surrounds the right-of-way except for two property owners near Boston Mills Road: Hudson Omni III Ltd having approximately 410 feet of frontage on the west and Hudson Parks having approximately 220 feet of frontage on the east. The effect of the vacation would be that the right-of-way would be removed and the land it occupied would be split among the three abutting owners.
Timing Considerations
Planning Commission recommended approval of the vacation March 9. Council's first reading would be April 7, the second reading would be April 21, and final action could be May 5, 2015.
