First, all five lot owners adjoining the <br /> right-of-way have petitioned for it to be abandoned. <br /> Second, the road in the right-of-way has never been <br /> constructed. Finally, the right-of-way does not provide <br /> ingress or egress to any of the lots in the subdivision. <br /> The resolution declaring the Board's intent to close this <br /> right-of-way has been published as required by law, and a <br /> notice of the closing and public hearing was prominently <br /> posted in two locations on the right-of-way proposed to be <br /> closed. During the public hearing of this matter, the <br /> Board must satisfy itself that closing this right-of-way <br /> is not contrary to the public interest and that no <br /> individual owning property in the vicinity of the <br /> abandoned right-of-way or in the subdivision in which it <br /> is located would thereby be deprived of a reasonable means <br /> of ingress and egress to his or her property. An order <br /> for the Board's consideration following the public hearing <br />
