BACKGROUND
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC has requested to close a portion of the right-of-way located nearest 3495 Boat Club Rd., Belmont, as shown on the map attached to this item and incorporated by reference. Duke Energy owns the property on all sides of the portion of the right-of-way in question (parcel number 192109). The right-of-way is not used as a means of ingress or egress by the public nor do any easements, express or implied, exist. Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 153A-241, the Board of Commissioners may close the right-of-way following a public hearing on the issue. This resolution provides notice to the public of the Board’s intent to close the ROW after conducting a public hearing at the regularly scheduled Board of Commissioners meeting on June 24, 2025. Additional notice will be given to the public by publication for three successive weeks prior to the public hearing, posting of the property, and notice by certified mail to any adjacent property owners (of which there are none other than the Petitioner). If the Board authorizes the closure of the right-of-way, Duke Energy will obtain ownership of the closed right-of-way.
