Commissioners appoint board of viewers for Lucerne Avenue abandonment (Resolution 25-55)
Summary
The board approved Resolution 25-55 to appoint a board of viewers to consider abandoning a portion of Lucerne Avenue in Shepherd, brought forward at the request of a local property owner.
The Yellowstone County Board of County Commissioners voted April 15 to appoint a board of viewers to consider the abandonment of a portion of Lucerne Avenue in Shepherd under Resolution 25-55.
Jay (last name not specified), a county public works staff member, said the request was brought by Barbara Pate and asked the commissioners to appoint the board of viewers as part of the standard abandonment process. "This was brought to us by Miss Barbara Pate, and she would like to abandon a portion of Lucerne Avenue there in Shepherd," Jay said.
A commissioner moved to approve Resolution 25-55; a second was recorded, the chairman called for a voice vote and the motion carried. The transcript records the action as approved; individual recorded votes were not provided.
Why it matters: Appointment of a board of viewers begins the formal local process for a roadway abandonment petition, which can lead to public hearings and findings about right-of-way, property interests and any required dedications or compensation.
