Proposed sale of vacant Mechanic Street parcel to adjoining owner
New Bern, NC
Description
Torrance Chapman wants to buy a roughly 50x100 vacant lot next to his family's store to consolidate his properties, add storage, expand his rental's yard, and possibly create customer parking. The lot sits in a flood zone and is zoned residential, which complicates commercial parking use.
Impact summary
If approved, a chronically dumped-on vacant lot gets cleaned up and a 40-year-old neighborhood business gains parking. The sale goes to upset bid once conditions are set.
