Summary

The City Council approved a modified site plan for a 10-foot sidewalk in front of the new courthouse on Main Street, contingent on restoring adjacent sidewalk areas and matching downtown stamping, after a presentation by Crawford Design Company.

The Raeford City Council unanimously approved a modified site plan Nov. 16 for a 10-foot-wide sidewalk adjacent to the new courthouse on Main Street, with conditions that the sidewalk be restored to its original state and that concrete stamping match the downtown design.

Del Crawford of Crawford Design Company presented the revisions to the sidewalk plans. After discussion about width, restoration and aesthetic consistency with downtown, Councilman Charles Allen moved to approve the site plan with the stated conditions and Councilman Wayne Willis seconded; the motion carried unanimously.

The action records the council’s requirement that the stamping detail be consistent with the downtown design and that any disturbed sidewalk be restored. The minutes do not list a separate funding source or construction timeline in the discussion.

The council took the vote during the Nov. 16 reconvened meeting that followed the Nov. 6 session, which had been recessed to allow the City Manager to attend additional agenda items.
