Board approves resolution to abandon 30-foot segment of Core Road after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing, the Madison County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution abandoning a short segment of Core Road, subject to a clerical change in the resolution title requested by a supervisor.
The Madison County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution to abandon a 30-foot segment of Core Road following a public hearing and staff briefing.
VDOT and county staff described the petition for abandonment, saying the segment is unused and that the property owners who requested the change had agreed to provide a cul-de-sac turnaround intended to serve dump trucks and other large vehicles. The board confirmed that abandoning the segment would not block access to other neighbors.
One supervisor called attention to the resolution’s wording, noting the packet used the phrase “resolution of support” but the board’s action needed to be a formal abandonment. The motion approved by the board included a clerical change to remove the word “support” from the title and the resolution language so the document reads as the board’s affirmative abandonment action. The resolution will be provided to VDOT to update the state road inventory as required.
The board’s action followed a filing at the courthouse and the statutory advertising requirement; county staff confirmed notices were posted before the term day, as required by statute.
