USE BY THE PUBLIC; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF

Whereas, the City of Southlake is a home rule city acting under its charter adopted by the
electorate pursuant of Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution and Chapter 9 of the Local
Government Code; and
Whereas, two 15 -foot perpetual access easements have previously been dedicated to the
City of Southlake by the previous owner(s) of the affected property in the City of Southlake,
Tarrant County, Texas
Whereas, the City Council of the City of Southlake, after careful study and consideration,
has determined that the said 15 -foot perpetual access easements recorded in Volume 9955, Page
334 and Volume 11784, Page 446 of the Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas are not being
used by, nor useful or convenient to the public in general; therefore, they constitute a public
charge without a corresponding benefit, and the public would be better served and benefitted by
their vacation and abandonment. The said 15 -foot perpetual access easements are more
specifically described on the attached exhibit:
Exhibit A: Legal Description

easements to the Timarron Land Corporation, Tarrant County, Texas and their heirs, and assigns.
