PURPOSE:
The purpose of the resolution is to authorizing the Mayor to execute a street closing petition for Terrapin Ridge Road, Terrapin Ridge Court and Brackish Drive.
BACKGROUND:
Terrapin Ridge Road, Terrapin Ridge Court, and Brackish Drive were dedicated as public right-of-way on February 6, 2008, by the recording of the Terrapin Ridge, Phase 1, plat in the Guilford County Register of Deeds in Plat Book 173 on Pages 70 and 71.
Terrapin Ridge Subdivision was annexed into the City of Greensboro on June 30, 2008.
On September 28, 2011, the City of Greensboro became owners of the Terrapin Ridge Subdivision as per the deed recorded in Deed Book 7276 on Page 2034 in the Guilford County Register of Deeds. The subdivision no longer serves a residential purpose and will be the location of the Stewart Mill Pump Station to better serve the eastern portion of the City’s sewer service territory. This will allow for current and future growth along the I-40 East location
North Carolina General Statute 160A-299 and Section 6.61 of the City Charter allow street right-of-way to be closed by petition and findings if said petition is signed by a majority of the property owners with frontage on the right-of-way.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There will be no impact on the current or future budgets.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends that City Council consider adoption of the proposed resolution so that the Mayor can sign the street closing petition and begin the street closing process for Terrapin Ridge Road, Terrapin Ridge Court and Brackish Drive.
