Explanation
§ North Carolina General Statute 160A-299 outlines the procedures for permanently closing streets and alleys.
§ The Charlotte Department of Transportation received a petition 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 status and attaches it to the adjacent property.
§ The attached resolution refers to exhibits and metes and bounds descriptions that are available in the City Clerk’s Office.
§ A portion of Tuckaseegee Road is located in Council District 3.
Petitioners
Charlotte Douglas International Airport
Right-of-Way to be Abandoned
The portion of Tuckaseegee Road to be abandoned is located north of Wilkinson Blvd, east of I-485 and south of I-85.
Reason
This request is in direct relationship to the Quattro Project rezoning petition #2018-025 for I-2 & I-2 (CD) zoning, which was approved by City Council on June 18, 2018. The closing of a portion of Tuckaseegee Road relinquishes remnant right-of-way so that new street networks can be created in order to accommodate the Quattro Project’s transportation and land-use goals.
Notification
As part of the City’s notification process, and in compliance with North Carolina General Statute 160A-299, the Charlotte Department of Transportation submitted this abandonment petition for review by the public and City Departments.
Adjoining property owner(s) - All abutting property is owned by the petitioner.
Neighborhood/Business Association(s) - N/A
Private Utility Companies - No objections
City Departments
Review by City departments identified no apparent reason this closing would:
§ Be contrary to the public interest;
§ Deprive any individual(s) owning property in the vicinity of reasonable means of ingress and egress to his property as outlined in the statutes; and
§ Be contrary to the adopted policy to preserve existing rights-of-way for connectivity.
