Court abandons 0.2-mile end of Whitetail Forest Road; ownership reverts to adjacent property owners
Summary
Hardin County Commissioners voted to abandon about 0.2 miles of Whitetail Forest Road between Lots 30 and 33 in Precinct 3 at the request of Chad Green and William Lemus; the county said maintenance ends at the asphalt terminus and the property will revert to the petitioners, who plan to erect a gate to deter trespassers.
Hardin County Commissioners approved an order to abandon roughly 0.2 miles of Whitetail Forest Road between Lots 30 and 33 of the Whitetail Forest subdivision in Precinct 3, transferring the property back to the requesting landowners. The county opened a public hearing on the matter July 22; the request was made by Chad Green and William Lemus, though neither man was present at the hearing. County staff explained the road abandonment involves the portion of road past the county maintenance sign where asphalt ends; the owners said they purchased the adjoining property and intend to put a gate at the end of the maintained road to deter trespassing. No public comments for or against the abandonment were recorded, and the court closed the hearing and approved the abandonment by motion from Commissioner Young, seconded by Commissioner Cooper. Court staff said that once the abandonment is finalized the property will go back to the adjacent owners identified in the petition. The court did not record further conditions or covenants on gate installation in the transcript.
