BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Lockhill Estates No. 2 was platted in 1950, but never constructed. LDK Realty began assembling most of the parcels located within the Lockhill Estates No. 2 subdivision in 2013. The City closed, vacated and abandoned portions of Link Drive, Lima Drive and Anchor Drive in 2014. Meritage Homes of Texas, LLC acquired the property from LDK Realty in 2014 and is the homebuilder for this subdivision. Meritage Homes began the platting and zoning process. The Preserve at Castle Hills will be a gated community consisting of 82 single family homes. Phase I is near completion.
Meritage Homes of Texas, LLC (home builder) acquired the remaining properties within the Lockhill Estates (1950) subdivision and has obtained all necessary signatures to request the closure of the remaining right-of-ways.

Meritage Homes requests the City close, vacate and abandon its interest in a 0.715 acre of an unimproved portion of Link Drive and Anchor Drive as indicated on the attached maps, plat and field notes.
