Commissioners approve nonexclusive gas-company easement across county trail
Summary
The Henry County commissioners approved a nonexclusive easement permitting a gas company to cross a county trail; staff said the easement is acceptable provided facilities are placed underground and do not interfere with the trail.
Henry County commissioners voted 3-0 to grant a nonexclusive easement allowing a gas company to cross a county trail.
County staff reported that DNR had no objection so long as the easement is nonexclusive. A staff member summarized: "If all the facilities are underground and don't interfere with the trail that's no issue." Commissioners then moved to approve the easement and recorded a 3-0 voice vote.
Commissioners said the documented understanding with the Department of Natural Resources and the nonexclusive nature of the easement addressed their primary concerns. No conditions beyond the nonexclusive status and an expectation that facilities be underground were stated on the record.
