BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The adjacent property owner has petitioned to close a portion of the right-of-way for Latta Avenue (0.218 acres). The remaining parcels will have ingress and egress. The petitioner owns both of the parcels that would be impacted if the right-of-way for Latta Avenue is closed. On March 7, 2023, NCDOT informed the petitioner that the 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 the Board of County Commissioners to adopt a resolution declaring its intent to close the public road and call a public hearing. The attached Exhibit A map shows the current right-of-way for Latta Avenue and the portion petitioned to be closed.
Mecklenburg County Land Use and Environmental Services Agency has determined that in its opinion closing the right-of-way of this portion of Latta Avenue would not deprive any individual owning land in the vicinity of said right-of-way of reasonable ingress and egress to their property and would not be contrary to the public interest. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning and the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal’s Office reviewed the petition and have no objection to the closing of the portion of said right-of-way. Once closed, the 0.218-acre former right-of-way will become vested in the adjacent parcels.
