BACKGROUND
The Board of Commissioner received a request from Martin and Deana Murphy to close an unnamed unimproved right-of-way located on property they own, 1332 South Point Road, Parcel ID 221532. On July 28, 2016, the Gaston County Board of Commissioners scheduled the public hearing concerning the right-of-way closure to be held on August 23, 2016. Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 153A-241, the Board of Commissioners may close said road, subject to the results of a public hearing on the issue.
POLICY IMPACT
The right-of-way closure will not impact County policy. The subject right-of-way is exclusively on the Petitioner’s property, and has not been improved nor has it been dedicated to the North Carolina Department of Transportation. Consequently, the County has authority to close this right-of-way as opposed to merely recommending a course of action to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
