PURPOSE:
GHD - Reedy Fork, LLC, Jamie McCain-Cummings, and Alonzo Cummings have requested the closing of a portion of Hardie Farm Road from its intersection with Oakgate Drive southwestward to it terminus. Staff requests that City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comment and to consider adoption of the street closing resolution.
BACKGROUND:
This portion of right-of-way was dedicated as part of The Villages of Reedy Fork, Phase 4, Section 3B2, as recorded in Plat Book 175 on Page 121 and is currently unopened.
The petition was signed by the property owners of 100% of the street frontage.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There will be no impact on the current or future budgets.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) feels circumstances here allow the City to make the two required determinations for a street closing: (1) that closing the street to vehicular traffic is not contrary to the public interest, and (2) that no property owner in the vicinity is deprived of reasonable means of ingress and egress. Therefore, the Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommended the closing. The Planning Board recommended this street closing at its May meeting on a vote of 8-0. Accordingly, it is recommended that on June 21, 2016, the City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comment and to consider adoption of the resolution closing a 120-foot portion of Hardie Farm Road from its intersection with Oakgate Drive southwestward to it terminus.
COMMITTEE ACTION: This item was referred to Council by the Infrastructure Committee.
