A city staff member presented an application under Connecticut General Statute 8-24 asking the board to recommend abandoning a paper street located between 36 and 44 Deerwood Avenue.
The staff member said the city recommends the abandonment and explained that, if the street is abandoned, abutting property owners would be the parties to acquire the vacated land. "What we have here is a request to abandon a paper street located between 36 and 44 Deerwood Avenue," the staff member told the board. The staff member also noted that the board’s recommendation — whether in favor or opposed — will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen, which has the final decision.
The board recorded that a motion passed on the item. The transcript does not record the exact motion text or the vote tally on the record.
The staff member said the city may retain a utility easement for future development of adjacent lots and that the legal department would draft any required documents if the abandonment proceeds. The staff member advised following the city engineer’s review and normal conditions when processing the abandonment.
Next steps: the board’s recommendation will be transmitted to the Board of Aldermen for its decision.
