Council hears first reading to return "paper roads" to adjoining owners in Fellowship Park area
Summary
On first reading the council considered an ordinance that would return certain paper roads and alleyways to adjoining property owners (identified as Turner Development) to resolve landlocked parcels; the city administrator described the shaded survey areas and called them 'paper roads.'
The Lenoir City Council heard a first reading on an ordinance to return certain alleyways and paper roads to adjoining property owners associated with Turner Development.
The mayor described the ordinance and noted it is a first reading. The city administrator explained the attached survey map and said the darker shaded areas are "paper roads" that do not have a physical roadway; returning those rights-of-way would address landlocked parcels tied to a Fellowship Park development and reduce utility complications.
Council moved the ordinance forward in a motion that was seconded and carried on a roll-call voice vote; one council member was recorded absent. The item will appear again for subsequent readings and final adoption after the statutory process.
