Overview: Section 5.4 (a)(2) of the Glen Lennox Development Agreement provides for re-alignment of Flemington Road. That realignment requires closing a portion of the existing public right-of-way and dedicating new right-of-way. The Public Hearing will only be for the closing of the public right-of-way.

North Carolina General Statute Sec. 160A-299 sets out the process for closing public right-of-way (see copy attached). The steps set out in this report and the attached resolution follow the statutory requirements.


Recommendation(s):
That the Council open the Public Hearing to consider closing the portion of the public right-of-way on Flemington Road between Maxwell Road and Brandon Road. The Council may close the Public Hearing this evening and take action on the requested closures, or defer action to the January 31st, 2018 meeting.

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

Key Issues:
* The public right-of-way requiring closure for the re-alignment of Flemington Road is between Maxwell Road and Brandon Road.
* This re-alignment is in accordance with Section 5.4 (a)(2) of the Glen Lennox Development Agreement and will require the dedication of new rights-of-way to maintain the existing 50' wide right-of-way.
* The sole adjacent property owner is Glen Lennox Apartments, LLC, who is requesting the right-of-way closure and will receive the entire requested right-of-way area
