Information
Department Action
 In 2001, Collin County acquired approximately 21 acres of Kansas City Southern Railway right-of-way adjacent to State Highway 78 in Wylie.  Approximately 9 acres of this property, which generally lies between F.M. Highway 544 and Brown Street, was donated to the State of Texas to facilitate widening of State Highway 78.
 
A majority (approximately 10) of the remaining 12 acres was subsequently sold to individual property owners abutting State Highway 78, giving those properties frontage along and in many instances, direct access to Highway 78.
 
We received a letter from the Wylie EDC expressing their interest in purchasing two of the remaining properties.  One is 1.226 acres located between Marble and Brown Street.  The EDC is under contract with KCS, who is the abutting landowner.  The second property is a 0.359 acre tract located between Marble and Second Street. The adjacent abutting landowner is not interested in purchasing this tract.
 
Additionally, the State of Texas as owner of the State highway 78 is an abutting property owner.  They were contacted and also expressed no interest in purchasing the surplus County owned property.
 
The Engineering Department Requests Commissioners Court’s authorization to proceed with sale of the aforementioned surplus property to the Wylie EDC in accordance with “Procedures for Sale of Residual Railroad Right-of-Way Along State Highway 78 to Abutting Private Property Owners” established by Court Order 2001-652-10-08.
