ORDER CLOSING RIGHT-OF-WAY AT THE END OF WISTERIA DRIVE <br /> Planner Emily Cameron explained that the closing of Wisteria Drive <br /> is related to the Preliminary Plan application for the Whitfield's Glen <br /> Subdivision. Once the right-of-way is closed, the property will be used to <br /> provide access to one of the proposed lots in Whitfield's Glen. <br /> Commissioner Gordon noted that there seems to be a lot of cul-de- <br /> sacs created and questioned if there could be a pedestrian walkway from one <br /> development to another. The Board discussed this idea at length. It was <br /> decided that the staff will look at the feasibility of pedestrian trails <br /> between subdivisions that also could be used for emergency vehicles and bring <br /> back a report to the Board which may or may not be added as a goal. <br /> NO PUBLIC COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Halkiotis to close the public hearing. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Willhoit to adopt and authorize the Chair to sign the order closing the right- <br /> of-way at the end of Wisteria Drive. <br />
