City council approves closure of unopened Low Street after public hearing
Summary
Fayetteville City Council voted to close an unopened street known as Low Street following a staff presentation and one proponent speaking in favor. Council found no impacts to utilities or emergency response and approved the closure by unanimous vote.
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — The City of Fayetteville City Council voted unanimously Sept. 22 to close an unopened right-of-way known as Low Street after a brief public hearing.
City staff told the council the closure was requested by petition and processed under North Carolina General Statutes; the property had been posted and advertised for four consecutive weeks. Staff said no utilities or emergency-response routes would be affected and that closing the street would allow surrounding properties to be developed without denying access to any property.
At the public hearing, David Sykes, who identified himself as an owner of the parcel involved and a resident at 113 Pompton Drive, said he supported the closure and deferred his time for questions. After no further public speakers, Councilmember Green moved to close Low Street; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Hondros and carried on a unanimous vote.
The council’s action directs the city to complete required administrative steps to effect the closure per state statute. No formal conditions or reservations were announced during the meeting.
Council members and staff characterized the matter as a routine street-closure petition; no appeals or follow-up deadlines were discussed on the record.
For residents: the city clerk handled the public-notice posting and the item was advertised in the legal notices prior to the hearing.
