Commissioners recommend pausing 1st Street/Ronald Road vacation after landlock concerns

Sep 14, 2026

Public Works reported a petition to vacate roughly 0.04 miles of 1st Street to allow an adjacent business to expand, but staff and legal counsel warned the current application would create a landlocked parcel; the board directed staff to seek written agreement to postpone the hearing until property adjustments are made.

The full story

Josh Frederickson (Parks/Public Works) told the board the county received an application to vacate a short section (~0.04 miles) of 1st Street around a curve near Ronald Road to allow an adjacent property owner to expand a business. Staff's review found the proposal, as submitted, would create a landlocked sliver of parcel; Frederickson said the owner plans either an easement or boundary-line adjustment before moving forward.
