Commission approves sale of small surplus lot on Brown Street
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission affirmed a request to sell a non-buildable surplus city lot on Brown Street to an adjacent neighbor, citing maintenance and nuisance concerns; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Middletown Planning & Zoning Commission voted to affirm an Economic & Community Development request (GS8-24) to sell a non-buildable surplus city parcel on Brown Street to the adjacent property owner.
Christine Marquez, the applicant agent identified in the meeting record, told commissioners the parcel has become overgrown, includes trees and wetlands, and is effectively a nuisance for the neighboring homeowner. "They're not looking to build or anything like that — they just would like to expand their backyard," Marquez said, adding the city lacks resources to maintain the lot.
Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions. A motion to affirm the sale was made and seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion passed.
The sale was recorded as an administrative disposition of surplus city property. The commission did not attach any additional conditions to this affirmation during the meeting. Next steps are for staff to complete any required paperwork to finalize the disposition.
