|
| | | | | | | | Summary:
| Jeff Hirsh, CEO of Campers Inn, requests that the County consider recommending the abandonment of the unpaved portion of Mallard Road. Planning staff and representatives of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) conducted inspections of the 0.3 mile long gravel/dirt portion of Mallard Road located in the Berkeley Voting District and researched the adjacent properties, which are all owned by CI Thornburg, LLC (Campers Inn). It does not appear that this portion of unimproved road serves benefit to the transportation network or any adjacent properties besides the applicant. The applicant proposes to cul de sac Mallard Road at the beginning of their property. The abandonment process includes a thirty (30) day period of notice. If an adjacent property owner submits a petition, a public hearing will be held. Otherwise, the Board may pass a resolution requesting that VDOT abandon the right-of-way. |
