Council to advertise closure of portion of Diamond Street; public hearing set for Sept. 14
Summary
Staff described resolution 2026.015 as the first step to close part of Diamond Street, saying the resolution initiates four weeks of public notice, mailed notices to adjacent property owners, posted signs, and a Sept. 14 public hearing to consider an adoption order.
Staff said resolution 2026.015 is the first formal step to close a portion of Diamond Street and explained the statutory notice process: a four-week newspaper advertisement, mailed notices to property owners along Diamond Street, and posted signage notifying the public. "This resolution is the 1st step by the council to demonstrate that it desires to close that portion of Diamond Street," staff said, and a public hearing was scheduled for Sept. 14 for anyone wishing to speak before the council considers an adoption order.
A staff advisor clarified how title would be distributed if the street is closed, citing the recorded underlying fee and an historical owner (the transcript referenced a Spruce Pine Land Development entity); staff said the statutory process gives adjacent property owners the line to the middle of the street when a corporate fee holder is defunct. No final adoption was recorded in the provided segments; the matter will return after the public-notice and hearing period.
