He said a single hydrant cost $2,000 and 101 were already committed. Ramsey said a total of
$278,000 was available for hydrants (FY 05-06 = S140,000 plus $138,000 for the lapsed FY 04-
05 funds).
4. Request from Skyler Little, John Mitchell, Joseph Kitchens, and Donnie Walker for
Approval of a Resolution of Intent to Abandon a Section of an Unnamed Road
(Part of the Sherrill Subdivision Plat): Planning Supervisor Steve Warren advised during the
pre -agenda meeting that Skyler Little, along with other residents in the Bristol Drive, Statesville
area, had requested closure of an unnamed road, in its entirety, and to abandon the recorded
right-of-way. He said the right-of-way was only on "paper," and the property was part of an old
subdivision that never fully developed. Warren said the first step for the request was to approve
a resolution announcing the intent to hold a hearing to receive public comment. He said the staff
had reviewed the request and found it to be acceptable with one condition. Warren said one
applicant (John Mitchell) had two parcels that were split by the roadway, and the properties
needed to be combined to form one tract. He added that no property owners would be
landlocked by the road abandonment.
