Overview: The Glen Lennox Development includes a proposed realignment of Maxwell Road and Hamilton Road. The realignment involves closing a portion of the existing public right-of-way and dedicating a new right-of-way. These realignments are in accordance with Section 5.4 (a)(2) of the Glen Lennox Development Agreement.

More information about the Glen Lennox Development Agreement may be found at:

This process followed the two requirements of North Carolina General Statute Sec. 160A-299:
* On February 9, 2022, Council adopted a resolution declaring its intent to close the public right-of-way and to call a public hearing.
* All publication and posting requirements of this statute have been met.


Recommendation(s):
That the Council hold the public hearing and adopt a resolution closing a portion of the public right-of-way to support the realignment of Maxwell Road and Hamilton Road within the Glen Lennox Development


Key Issues:
* Closing portions of the public right-of-way would allow re-alignment of Maxwell and Hamilton Roads.
* This re-alignment is in accordance with Section 5.4 (a)(2) of the Glen Lennox Development Agreement and will include right-of-way dedication to maintain the existing 50' wide right-of-way.
* The sole adjacent property owner is Glen Lennox Apartments, LLC, is requesting the closure and will receive the entire requested right-of-way areas.


Fiscal Impact/Resources: Impacts to future investments are unknown.
