Sanford council orders closure of unopened Oakdale Street and Hudson Avenue segments adjacent to KSE Scientific site
Summary
Council approved a resolution closing unopened portions of Oakdale Street and Hudson Avenue near the KSE Scientific building after a public hearing; the vacated right‑of‑way will be split to adjacent owners.
After a public hearing held at 6:00 p.m., the Sanford City Council approved a resolution ordering the closure of unopened portions of Oakdale Street and Hudson Avenue adjacent to the KSE Scientific Building at 710 Fields Drive.
Long‑Range Planning Administrator David Montgomery explained surveys show a portion of Hudson Avenue was encroached by the KSE building and that the unopened portion of Oakdale Street had never been officially closed, despite GIS showing otherwise. New Bethel Freewill Baptist Church owns properties that abut the Hudson Avenue segment and is part of the petition. Jack Rasmussen, representing a contracted buyer, answered council questions. No members of the public opposed the request during the hearing.
Council approved the resolution to close the specified right‑of‑way segments and directed staff to split the vacated portions along the centerline to adjacent property owners. The minutes record unanimous approval.
