The Linn County Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing Jan. 6 to consider vacating whatever county interest exists in an alley between Lots 1–8, Block 4 of Toddville — a parcel the presenter said totals about 1,600 square feet (0.4 acres) — for conveyance to the Daniel and Deborah Remington Trust.

Kurt Logan, assistant engineer with the county road department, told the board the secondary road department supports vacating the right‑of‑way because it is unused and does not affect access to neighboring property. Logan said the department had not heard opposition in written or verbal communications.

With no members of the public present to speak, and staff reporting no opposition, a supervisor moved to close the public hearing. The board closed the hearing by voice vote and staff said a formal resolution vacating the area will return to the board on a future agenda.

Why it matters: the action would remove county interest in an unused alley and allow a conveyance to the named trust; staff signaled no adverse access effects and planned to present a formal resolution for board action at a later meeting.
