Commission recommends vacation of Railroad Avenue in Raven to Board of Supervisors
Summary
After a request from adjacent owner James Pruitt, the commission voted 4–0 to recommend vacating Railroad Avenue in Raven to the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors, pending legal review and notification of adjacent owners, per the Director of Engineering's recommendation.
The Tazewell County Planning Commission on July 14 recommended that the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors consider vacating Railroad Avenue in Raven, following a request by adjacent property owner James Pruitt.
Pruitt told the commission he owns parcels adjacent to Railroad Avenue. Director of County Engineering Kenneth Dunford, Jr. advised the commission to forward the matter to the County Attorney’s Office for legal review and to notify adjacent property owners. The commission voted 4–0 to recommend the vacation to the Board of Supervisors pending that legal review and notification.
The action recorded in the minutes is a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors; the recommendation triggers the county’s legal-notice and review process before any formal vacation ordinance could be considered or adopted by the Board.
Next steps specified in the minutes include legal review and adjacent-owner notification; the minutes do not record any Board action on the street vacation.
