A petition has been received <br />by the County requesting that the portion of the old right -of --way not now a <br />part of Eno Mountain Road be closed. On March 9, 1992, the Board of <br />Commissioners adopted a resolution declaring its intent to close the portion <br />of the Eno Mountain Road right -of --way no longer.a part of Eno Mountain Road. <br />The resolution declaring the Board's intent to close the portion of Eno <br />Mountain Road abandoned by the North Carolina Department of Transportation <br />has been published as required by law, copies have been sent by certified <br />mail to each owner as shown on the County tax records of property adjoining <br />the portion of the road abandoned and proposed to be closed as required by <br />law and a notice of the closing and public hearing was prominently posted in <br />seven places along the portion of the Eno Mountain Road that is proposed to <br />be closed. During the public hearing of this matter, the Board must satisfy <br />itself that closing this abandoned public road (the portion abandoned by N.C. <br />DOT) is not contrary to. the public interest and that no individual owning <br />property in the vicinity of the abandoned road or in a subdivision in which <br />it is located would thereby be deprived of a reasonable- means of ingress and <br />egress to his or her property. An order for the Board's consideration <br />following the public hearing is an attachment to this action agenda item <br />abstract. <br />RECOMMENDATION: If the requirements of the proposed order are satisfied, <br />adopt the order. <br />
