Commissioners approve closing of portion of Heather Street after no objections
Summary
Allegheny County commissioners approved a petition to close a paper portion of Heather Street during a public hearing; petitioners’ representative said the road lies between two parcels owned by the same landowner and no utilities or easements were found.
Allegheny County commissioners voted to close a portion of Heather Street after a public hearing in which petitioners’ counsel said the segment functions as a paper road between a single owner’s parcels.
Attorney Beeman introduced the petition and said the petitioners are represented by Mr. Hevner. Mr. Hevner told the commission the stretch is "literally just a paper road that happens around the gentleman's backyard" and that due diligence found no utilities or easements in the right-of-way. With no public objections, a motion to approve the road closing passed by voice vote.
The chair asked Mr. Hevner to provide a proposed order and a drafted deed to complete the transfer. The agenda packet and record of the public hearing will be used to prepare the documents necessary to finalize the closure.
