If the requested right-of-way or easement is subject to town abandonment, the Town Engineer shall submit a Council Decision Request ("CDR") to the Town Council for action. The Town Council may take action on the CDR. The Town Council may, but shall not be required to, hold a public hearing before taking action. If the abandonment, or any portion thereof, on the CDR is approved by the Town Council, a resolution shall be submitted for the next regular Council meeting to finalize the abandonment. The Town Council shall not abandon any right-of-way or easement if the effect of such abandonment is to leave any land adjoining the same without a legal connection between the land served by the right-of-way or easement and another established public roadway, unless there is expressly reserved in the conveying instrument the roadway rights for ingress and egress for public or emergency vehicles, all property owners, property owner guests and invitees, and persons lawfully conducting business on the land.
