Any person desiring to have any roadway or easement abandoned shall make application for the same and file such application with the City Planning and Development Department, except that requests to exchange new roadway for roadway which is no longer needed for public use, or for disposition of unnecessary public roadways pursuant to Section 31-64, may be made by letter, instead of formal application, but if the Development Services Department determines that a formal application is needed to more fully examine the proposed exchange or disposition, then a formal application will be required. Exchanges shall be accomplished by an ordinance authorizing the execution by the City Manager or his designated representative of a deed conveying the unnecessary roadway and by the acceptance of the dedication of the new roadway either by ordinance or by approval of a subdivision plat or plat of dedication. (Code 1962, § 35-80; Ord. No. G-3313, § 1; Ord. No. G-3497, § 1; Ord. No. G-5590, § 1, 2011)
