Overview: At the north-east corner of Stinson Street, there is a driveway in-between two parcels owned by Lawler Development Group, LLC. That driveway is within a public right-of-way that the owner is requesting to be closed. The subject right-of-way is approximately 70 feet long by 26 feet wide.

North Carolina General Statute Sec. 160A-299 sets the process for closing public rights-of-way, requiring the Council to adopt a resolution declaring its intent to close the public right-of-way and to call a public hearing. The resolution will be published once a week for four successive weeks before the hearing. A notice of the closing and public hearing will be posted in a least two places along the right-of-way.


Recommendation(s):
That the Council adopt the resolution to call a Public Hearing to consider a request to close a portion of an unmaintained and unimproved public right-of-way of Stinson Street on June 8, 2022.

Fiscal Impact/Resources: Closing of this right-of-way does not create costs to the Town since it was not being maintained.

Key Issues:
* Lawler Development Group, LLC, requested this right-of-way closure.
* Lawler Development Group, LLC own both of the properties next to the subject public right-of-way and they are the only fronting property owners.
