Background
Information: In 2001, the construction of S. Nolen Drive from Crooked Lane to FM

to Nolen Drive. On December 18, 2001, the City Council approved
Ordinance No. 808, abandoning the right of way of Crooked Lane within
the Cornerstone Plaza Addition from FM 1709 to approximately 466 feet
south of FM 1709 and authorizing the Mayor to execute a quit claim deed.
The three property owners adjacent to the remaining right of way of
Crooked Lane from approximately 466 feet south of FM 1709 to S. Nolen
Drive have submitted a request to the City to abandon the right of way of
Crooked Lane from approximately 466 feet south of FM 1709 to S. Nolen
Drive.
The utilities have been moved from the right of way of Crooked Lane to S.
Nolen Drive and the existing right of way only serves as a drainage
easement. The property owners have signed a new drainage easement to
serve the drainage in the existing right of way of Crooked Lane.
It was understood at the time the preliminary plat for Cornerstone Plaza
was approved, that the old Crooked Lane right of way would be
abandoned when S. Nolen Drive was constructed.
