SUBJECT: Close, vacate and abandon improved portion of Rogers Avenue Right-of-Way

SUMMARY:

An ordinance authorizing the closure, vacation, and abandonment of 0.312 of an acre, an improved portion of public right of way, known as Rogers Avenue, located between Quitman and East Carson Streets, as requested by SA Quad Ventures, L.L.C., for a fee of $45,135.00, in Council District 2.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Petitioner SA Quad Ventures, L.L.C. has requested the closure, vacation and abandonment of 0.312 of an acre, an improved portion of public right of way, known as Rogers Avenue located between Quitman and East Carson Streets, adjacent to New City Blocks 1257 and 1259, in Council District 2.

This block of Rogers Avenue is the only portion of the street that does not align with the remaining blocks of Rogers Avenue, causing traffic and potential safety concerns. If driving north on Rogers Avenue, a driver intersects with Carson Street and, if wanting to continue north on Rogers, has to turn on Carson and then immediately north again on Rogers to travel one short block where the street dead-ends at Quitman Street.

SA Quad Ventures, L.L.C. owns all adjoining parcels to the east, west and north of the subject block and, if approved, the petitioner plans to assemble its abutting properties for future redevelopment. The petitioner's adjoining properties are currently zoned C2 IDZ.
