Queenstown commissioners discuss buying 6915 Main Street for possible wastewater expansion
Summary
Guest Dudley Dixon told commissioners he may subdivide 6915 Main Street; commissioners declined an easement request and discussed the town purchasing the parcel, subdividing a rear portion for municipal use and selling the front lot. Dixon will prepare cost figures and return for further discussion.
Dudley Dixon, the owner of 6915 Main Street, described plans to tear down or remodel the existing house and potentially subdivide the lot to build one or two homes. He said he previously requested an easement through a neighboring Charity Lane lot to access a rear parcel; the commissioners declined to grant that easement and instead expressed interest in acquiring the property itself so the town could reserve land for future wastewater‑plant expansion.
President Al Hardee and Commissioner Bryon Callahan discussed options including the town purchasing the full parcel, keeping or subdividing a rear portion for municipal needs and selling the front lot with the house to recover costs. No formal motion or vote to buy the property was taken; the commissioners agreed to continue studying the options. Dixon told the board he will “work on his numbers” and return with cost estimates for the commissioners to review.
The discussion did not include a timetable, an appraisal, or specific financing options; the commissioners said they would evaluate the town’s needs before pursuing acquisition. The item will return to a future meeting for further consideration.
