Overview: The Weavers Grove Developer (Habitat for Humanity) has requested to close portion of the Ginger Road public right-of-way (ROW) to support a realignment of Ginger Road as part of their approved development. This subject ROW is approximately 60 feet wide and 1,150 feet long. It is located along the south property line of the Weavers Grove property.

The Weavers Grove Developer has agreed to divide the closed ROW down the center line with the northern 30 feet transferring to Weavers Grove and the southern 30 feet transferring to the fronting adjacent Chandlers Ridge property owners.

This process followed the two requirements of North Carolina General Statute Sec. 160A-299:
* 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 open and close the public hearing and adopt a resolution closing the subject portion of the Ginger Road public right-of-way to support the realignment of Ginger Road within the Weavers Grove Development.

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