Swapping a few dozen feet of land between the Pocomoke City and the Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Company elicited an extended discussion over procedures during a council meeting last Monday.
The fire company recently deeded its storage building and associated property at the site of the former Fifth Street firehouse in exchange for VFW property on Dun Swamp Road owned by the city.
Jerry Barbierri, fire company board of directors chairman, said the move would require erecting a new 40-foot by 60-foot storage building on the Dun Swamp Road property at cost of about $50,000.
“The transfer was intended to help the city to sell the entire Fifth Street parcel as one property,” he said.
After the fire company entered into a contract to design and build a new storage building, which was designated for the south side of the property to allow access to the current driveway, a problem became apparent, Barbierri said.

Troast and Morrison are correct. Line adjustments like this have been done numerous times in Worcester County. I have been involved in three myself and we never needed to involve Planning & Zoning, County Commissioners or any other government body. The adjustments do, however, have to be recorded with the Clerk of Court.
