7. Ordinance Authorizing the Vacation of an Approximately 5,761 Square-Foot
Portion of Right-of-Way Located at the Corner of Denbigh Boulevard and
Pocahantas Drive
AN ORDINANCE CLOSING AND VACATING A PORTION OF THAT CERTAIN RIGHT-
OF-WAY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF DENBIGH BOULEVARD AND
POCAHANTAS DRIVE IN THE CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA.
A request has been received from Mr. Rod Hulin, the owner of 133 Pocahantas
Drive, for the City to vacate its interest in a 5,761 square-foot portion of right-
of-way located at the corner of Denbigh Boulevard and Pocahantas Drive.
Mr. Hulin intends to use the property to expand his yard. Waterworks had
requested a 10-foot easement be retained to allow access and maintenance on
a section of its waterline located within the right-of-way, which has been
drafted in coordination with the City Attorney’s Office, Waterworks, and
Engineering.
After review of the request, this portion of right-of-way has been deemed
surplus to the City’s needs by City department directors.
The City Manager recommends approval.
