Explanation

§                     NC General Statute Section 160A-299 outlines the procedures for permanently closing streets and alleys. 

§                     The Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) received a petition signed by the adjacent property owners to abandon public right-of-way and requests this City Council action in accordance with the statute.

§                     The action removes land from public right-of-way and attaches it to the adjacent property. The land will be distributed proportionally between adjacent property owners in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-299.

§                     The attached Resolution refers to exhibits and metes and bounds descriptions that are available in the City Clerk’s Office.

§                     The right-of-way to be closed is located in Council District 3.

 

Petitioner

Right-of-Way to be Abandoned

Reason

Per the petition submitted by Michael C. Cooper, the abandonment of the unopened right-of-way will facilitate future redevelopment of abutting parcels to construct a single-family home. The city has no objections.

 

Notification

As part of the city’s notification process, and in compliance with NC General Statute 160A-299, the CDOT submitted this abandonment petition for review by the public and city departments.

City Departments 

§                     Review by city departments identified no apparent reason this closing would:

-                     Be contrary to the public interest;

-                     Be contrary to the adopted policy to preserve existing rights-of-way for connectivity.
