such a request would require the applicant to provide a
formal petition from abutting lard owners, a reference plan,
a certified appraisal for the value of the road allowance,
and an administrative deposit of $500.00. This could result
in a total cost to the applicant of between $1,000.00 and
$2,000.00 for processing and whatever the value of the
approximately one-half acre of road allowance would be
appraised. The road allowance occupies an area of about
four hundred (400) feet by sixty -six (66) feet and could
conceivably be developer) as two building lots. The Town, on
the other hand, can, if there are no objections, process the
closure and conveyance for less than $1,000.

utilities located in the road, which may conflict with the
proposed use of the land.
