Overview: The Glen Lennox Development includes a proposed realignment of Maxwell Road.

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 for May 5, 2021 to consider closing a portion of the public right-of-way to support the realignment of Maxwell Road within the Glen Lennox Development.

 

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