The Highway Commission voted on Oct. 6 to amend the county's official road list to reflect a single Evelyn Court where county records had previously listed East Evelyn Court and West Evelyn Court as separate entries.

Staff said the difference was a clerical error in the county's official road list, not in the recorded plat or in 911 records. "We're not changing the name of the road. We're just actually amending it to what it should be," a staff member told the commission, adding that the two sides of the roadway are short cul-de-sacs and together measure less than a tenth of a mile.

The staff member said homeowners' addresses and 911 information were already correct and that the amendment will align the official road list with those records. The commission moved and approved the amendment during the meeting; the motion carried after the commission voted "aye." No commissioner recorded an opposition on the public record.

Commission discussion focused on the clerical nature of the change and the desire to ensure county records match the plat and 911 databases. Staff characterized the action as an administrative clean-up rather than a renaming or readdressing effort.

What happens next: county staff will update the official road list so that Evelyn Court appears once and will confirm the change with 911 and other record-keeping systems.
