Second Reading of Ordinance No. 052, 2005, Vacating a Portion of Right-of-Way as Dedicated on
the Plat of Prospect Industrial Park.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Liberty Commons School site is located on the north and west sides of March Court cul-de-sac.
The current school building is at the northwest corner of March Court and Sharp Point Drive. The
area to the west of the cul-de-sac is currently vacant land. The Liberty Commons School desires to
build a running track for the school's use on this vacant land. The width of the land is not adequate
to build a running track that will meet competition standards, thus they would like to shorten the
existing cul-de-sac, vacate a portion of the existing right-of-way and use this area for construction
of a running track. At the completion of the project the revised cul-de-sac will have the same
functionality as the original March Court cul-de-sac.
Ordinance No. 052, 2005, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on May 3, 2005.
