Pike Road council hears first reading to sell small town parcel; planning items approved
Summary
Legal counsel presented a first reading of an ordinance to sell a narrow, unused sliver of town-owned land to an adjacent owner to provide access; the council postponed final action to a future agenda. The council also heard that the Planning Commission approved three public hearings and a development plan and announced a Unified Code kick‑off open house on May 19.
Legal counsel Mark Williams presented the first reading of Ordinance 2026 concerning the proposed sale of a narrow, underused sliver of town-owned property to an adjacent landowner who needs access to their parcel.
Williams said the town proposed valuing the sliver at the same per-acre rate used in the adjacent property purchase. Council discussion focused on how the value was determined; no final vote was taken during the first reading. The ordinance was recorded as a first reading and will appear on a future council agenda for further consideration.
Separately, Planning Commission Chairman Doug Fuhrman reported that the Planning Commission approved four items at its recent meeting: a manufactured home on Sunflower Lane; rezoning of property on Highway 80 from AG to B2; and a plat for the same Highway 80 property, plus one development plan. Senior Planner Darrell Rigsby announced a Unified Code kick-off public session, in an open-house format, scheduled for May 19 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at Town Hall.
The transcript does not record a final sale price, written ordinance text, or a council vote on the ordinance at this meeting. The first reading places the matter on the council's next agenda for potential action.
