CITY OF AUSTIN - R.O.W. VACATION MASTER COMMENT REPORT As of: July 02, 2026 PROJECT NUMBER: 2026-071407 LM PROJECT NAME: 2026-071407 LM (8700 Hergotz Lane) LOCATION: 8700 HERGOTZ LN, AUSTIN, TX 78742 Review Dept. LM ATD Review Reviewer Phone Attempt Date Approved Date Approved With Conditions Justin Good 512-974-1449 06/09/2026 07/02/2026 Comments: The bulk of the ROW vacation is acceptable, however I have concerns at the western end near Edwin Lane regarding vehicle turnaround space. Although in the ultimate buildout there will be a connected street network, in the interim between approving the ROW vacation and the new street network opening, a dead-end condition is created on Hergotz Lane based on the proposed request. If the ROW vacation ended east of Edwin Lane, then drivers could use the intersection as a turnaround area. Typically a long section of street that ends will include a traffic circle to accommodate turnarounds, so alternatively this option can be considered. Otherwise, turnarounds can be accomplished by maintaining ROW through the Edwin Lane intersection or offering a public access easement. Open to other solutions as well.

Reviewer Phone Attempt Date Approved Date LM AW Infrastructure Management Rejected Comments: Austin Water (AW) does not recommend the requested ROW vacation at this time. AW needs to retain easement rights of sufficient width if the right of way is vacated. Additionally, new AW easements will need to be dedicated to cover the improvements required by UIRs 6416, 6417 & 6418.

LM PWD-OCE Review Reviewer Phone Attempt Date Approved Date Rejected Comments: Approved Comments: Ramesh Baniya 06/09/2026 1. Hergotz Ln (A5 ¿ City Collector Street) is located within the Austin 2-Mile ETJ and requires coordination with Travis County if such coordination has not already been completed. 2.Hergotz Lane and Dalton Lane form a loop that connects neighboring properties and provides an emergency access route to connect to Hwy 183 & Old Bastrop Hwy. Vacating a portion of the right-of-way (ROW) on Hergotz Lane would break this loop, potentially disrupting traffic flow, reducing route options, and increasing congestion on adjacent streets. Please provide justification for vacation of portion of Hergotz Ln along with any supporting analysis demonstrating how connectivity and mobility would be maintained. 3. Public utility-overhead electric line presented within the ROW. Please clarify how access to and maintenance of these utilities will be preserved or whether they will be released. TPW-OCE has approved the proposed ROW vacation with the following comment: The overhead electric lines must be relocated prior to the vacation of this ROW.
