Description/History
The property located at 1004 Magnolia Street was originally built to serve as a field operations service center for the Water Utilities Department. Upon their move to the Chris Burkett Service Center, the Parks and Recreation Department converted the facility into a service center for the park operations division. In 2015, the Mansfield Independent School District (MISD) approached the City about the possibility of acquiring a portion of the property for expanded parking at R.L. Anderson Stadium. After research and evaluation, it was determined that the property could be sub-divided with the service center remaining intact and active if a portion of the property were to be sold.
On August 22, 2016, the City Council approved an ordinance approving a contract of sale with MISD. While the portion of real property sold to MISD is adjacent to existing MISD property, the City has determined that the transaction further requires an ingress-egress and access easement be granted in order to provide access from Magnolia Street to the MISD property located at 1004 Magnolia Street. A copy of the easement instrument is attached as Exhibit A.
Justification
There is no grant of access from the Mansfield Independent School District’s property to a public road, and the City has determined that there is a need for the ingress-egress and access easement in, upon, and across City owned property at 1004 Magnolia Street.
