County staff to send certified letter ordering removal of unpermitted driveway on County Highway 32
Summary
Highway staff reported an unpermitted driveway installed onto County Highway 32; the committee directed staff to consult the state's attorney, draft a certified removal letter, and require the owner to restore the right-of-way if the owner fails to comply.
LaSALLE COUNTY — County highway staff told the committee that a property owner installed an unpermitted entrance onto County Highway 32 and asked for direction. Staff said the property's owner had been denied a permit under county access policy but installed an entrance and backfilled it with sand.
Nut graf: Staff recommended sending a certified letter instructing the owner to remove the unpermitted entrance; the committee agreed staff should prepare a letter, review it with the state's attorney, and then send it. If the owner does not remove the entrance, staff said the county would remove it and charge the owner for costs.
Staff explained the county's access policy generally denies separate direct access when reasonable access can be provided elsewhere and described the ordinance and spacing standards in place since February 2006. Committee members asked about the process and agreed to have staff draft a certified notice and run it by the state's attorney before sending it to the property owner.
Ending: Staff will draft the notice, coordinate with the state's attorney's office, and return to the committee as needed if the owner does not comply.
