Council approves consent minutes and accepts right-of-way dedication for Springer Mountain Drive access
Summary
The Pinetop Lakeside Town Council unanimously approved the consent agenda including minutes from April 3, 2025, and accepted a right-of-way dedication deed from the Larson Living Trust to provide secondary access from State Route 260 to Springer Mountain Drive.
The Pinetop Lakeside Town Council unanimously approved its consent agenda, including the minutes of the April 3, 2025, regular meeting, and accepted a right-of-way dedication deed that completes secondary access from State Route 260 to Springer Mountain Drive.
The consent agenda vote was moved by Council Member Turner and seconded by Council Member Phillips; the motion carried unanimously. The minutes approved were those from the Town Council regular meeting held on April 3, 2025; no council member requested removal for separate discussion.
Public Works Director Patterson explained the right-of-way deed and its purpose before the council voted. Patterson said an area of the previously accepted right-of-way had been donated to the Larson Living Trust and was not included when properties were later sold and subdivided. He described the deed before council as necessary to “complete the required right of way for secondary access from State Route 260 to Springer Mountain Drive” and noted the access serves a subdivision with an average daily traffic (ADT) of about 800 cars exiting onto State Route 260.
A motion to accept the right-of-way dedication deed from Mark J. Larson, as successor trustee of the Larson Living Trust, was moved by the vice mayor (name not specified in the transcript) and seconded by Council Member Smith. That motion also carried unanimously.
