BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The property owner has petitioned to close a 3.16-acre portion of right-of-way for former Statesville Road (US Highway 21). The portion of said right-of-way is located between two wooded parcels owned by the petitioner. Reportedly, the parcels will be combined and developed for industrial use. NCDOT informed the petitioner on September 24, 2018 that the portion of right-of-way petitioned to be closed was not State maintained. To close a right-of-way in the unincorporated part of the County, General Statute 153A-241 requires a public hearing and approval of the order for closing by the Board of County Commissioners. The attached Exhibit A map shows the current right-of-way for former Statesville Road (US Highway 21) and the portion petitioned to be closed. Once closed, the 3.16-acre portion of former right-of-way will become vested in the adjacent parcels owned by the petitioner.
