Public hearing opened and closed on petition to vacate portion of NW right-of-way; no opposition recorded
Summary
The Board opened and closed a public hearing on a petition to vacate a portion of NW (road name not fully read). Secondary Roads staff said there were no access issues or public objections; the board did not record a final vacation vote at the meeting.
The Linn County Board of Supervisors opened and later closed a public hearing on a petition to vacate a portion of a northwest right-of-way after hearing from Kurt Logan of the county Secondary Roads Department that there were no access issues or public objections.
The hearing matters because vacation of a public right-of-way can change access and maintenance responsibilities for nearby landowners; Secondary Roads staff said there were no concerns in this case.
Kurt Logan, speaking for the Secondary Roads Department, said he was "just here to answer any questions or address any concerns" about the petition and later told the board there was "no opposition to the vacation" and "no access issues." The board took no final decision to vacate the right-of-way during the session; supervisors opened the hearing, staff answered technical questions, and the board closed the hearing after no public objections were offered.
Supervisor comments indicated a prior resident's technical question had been answered outside the meeting. The board also discussed procedure for re-publishing and scheduling another hearing earlier in the agenda when a different right-of-way item had to be removed because of a publication error; staff said a resolution to set a new date would be required before republishing.
Ending: The public hearing record for the vacation was closed; the board did not record a final vacation vote in the transcript and staff indicated no objections were received.
