On April 28, 2025, the Charlotte City Council adopted a resolution to close a portion of the unopened right-of-way off South Gardner Avenue in accordance with NC General Statute ยง160A-299. The closure, requested by Savona II, LLC, transfers the vacated street land to adjacent property owners while reserving an easement for Charlotte Water facilities. The petitioner complied with statutory requirements by notifying adjoining landowners, posting notices, and conducting a public hearing with no objections from stakeholders or City departments. The resolution includes detailed metes-and-bounds descriptions and references reserving rights, title, and interest for utility easements. By closing the public alley, the City aims to facilitate future redevelopment of the abutting parcels and integrate the vacated area into the private property. The decision ensures continued access, maintainability, and modification of existing water infrastructure while removing the land from public right-of-way status. This action supports private investment and efficient land use by consolidating fragmented parcels and clarifying property boundaries for development planning.
