Board okays $500 permanent easement to Elizabeth Jones for Board Avenue CMP replacement

May 5, 2026

The board approved a permanent 17 ft by 75 ft right‑of‑way easement to Elizabeth Jones for $500 to allow replacement and extension of a CMP pipe on Board Avenue west of Highway 59; the owner accepted the offer and the board authorized recording.

The full story

County staff told the board that the existing corrugated metal pipe (CMP) on Board Avenue west of Highway 59 was short and replacement would require an extended pipe that intrudes slightly on private property. Staff negotiated a 17‑ft by 75‑ft permanent easement from Elizabeth Jones for $500; Jones agreed and staff requested authority to execute and record the easement documents.
