Commissioners address landowner concerns over wind‑project road access and easement requests
Summary
County staff explained that Scout Clean Energy has a road‑use agreement to use county roads between Highway 90 and I‑10 but that landowners received additional easement requests from a separate attorney, prompting county staff and commissioners to seek clarification and attend local meetings with residents.
Commissioners and county staff discussed community concerns about a proposed wind‑project access route and easement requests tied to Scout Clean Energy’s work.
County planning and the county manager explained that the commission previously approved a road‑use agreement authorizing Scout Clean Energy to use county roads from Highway 90 to I‑10, including CPAR Road. The manager said Scout prefers to avoid some route constraints and therefore may use an alternative (plan B) that includes CPAR, although the company’s preferred route is off Highway 90 when feasible.
