BACKGROUND
The Board of Commissioners received a request from Nicholas and Danyetta Miller, Petitioners, to close several unimproved, unnamed right-of-ways as highlighted on the attached maps. The Petitioners own parcels 146207, 146139, 146220, 146224, 145225, 146227, 146233, 146238, 146236, 146214, 146241, 146242, and 146253, having an address of 000 Woodcrest Drive in the Larkhaven Development in Gastonia, North Carolina, as described in Deed Book 4052, Page 1387 in the Gaston County Registry in Gaston County, North Carolina.
Pursuant to G.S. § 153A-241, the Board of Commissioners may close said right-of-ways subject to a public hearing. At the March 23, 2021 meeting, the Board of Commissioners authorized the public hearing concerning the right-of-way closures are to take place at the April 27, 2021 Board of Commissioners meeting. Pursuant to state law, the County advertised the public hearing for three (3) weeks in the Gaston Gazette, placed notices of the public hearing near the property in question, and provided notice by way of first class mail to any surrounding property owners.
POLICY IMPACT
Closing the right-of-ways in question will not negatively impact any property owner in the surrounding area, as the right-of-ways are unimproved and wooded. If the closure is approved, the Petitioners will obtain the right-of-way areas.
