2026-53 — Right-of-way abandonment to clean, maintain, and incorporate into adjoining residential property in Denison, TX

The applicant seeks to abandon two dedicated public rights-of-way totaling 0.347 acres adjacent to her residential property at 2301 Brookhaven Drive, intending to clean and maintain these overgrown areas for improved aesthetics. Staff opposes the abandonment, citing ongoing public functions including drainage channels, sanitary sewer infrastructure, floodplain management, and public trail access that serve Waterloo Lake Regional Park.
