Engineer's office recommends right‑of‑way vacations; county hears municipal road fund projects

Hamilton County deputy surveyor Jim Hetzel presented a public hearing and engineer’s report recommending the vacation of portions of unimproved fee right‑of‑way for Maple Drive and Cedar Drive in Stevens Township. Hetzel said the petition for vacation was filed March 6, 2025, by petitioners C.J. Carr, Anne Griesdorn and Trevor Minton, and that utility companies and the township had been notified and any conditions raised had been addressed. "The engineer's office finds a survey plat and legal descriptions to be acceptable and recommends the board approve these vacations," Hetzel told the board.
