Item 76 Passed 8-2unofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
The city looks to vacate about 232,205 square feet (5.33 acres) of developed right-of-way covering all of Edwin Lane, between Hergotz Lane and Ramirez Lane, and convey it to Dog's Head Land JV, Ltd. The stretch was annexed into Austin on May 21, 2026, and the ordinance requires future dedication of right-of-way as part of the deal. The item has no fiscal impact — the applicant covers all costs, including appraisal fees and public notice expenses, and reimburses the city.
