Residents ask Kanosh to finish road‑vacation surveying on 250 East; council to consider limited survey funding
Summary
Residents said a 24‑year‑old road vacation was never fully surveyed and asked the town to fund a targeted survey (two‑point or more) so property owners can proceed with fencing or pipelines; the council asked staff to gather bids and information for a future vote.
Residents asked the council to complete surveying for a former vacated right‑of‑way, saying the town did not finish survey work when the roadway was vacated and that property owners now face unclear boundaries and potential tax implications.
A resident (name: Bart — surname not provided) and other neighbors described a strip along the 250 East right‑of‑way where the town’s historical paperwork did not include a precise legal description or survey pins for the vacated roadway. They said contractors will not proceed with projects such as pipelines or fences without a clear legal description and permanent survey monuments. A quote of a previous vendor estimate of about $5,000 to survey two points was mentioned; residents urged the town to help obtain a precise legal description.
Council members asked county GIS staff (Adam Britt, referenced) to produce an up‑to‑date print and to identify whether older county grid points can be used. Staff advised that modern aerial flyover data exist and that producing a large printed map could help clarify the area for both residents and contractors. The council did not commit funding at the meeting but asked staff to assemble surveyor contacts and cost estimates and to bring a recommended scope and vendor quotes to a future meeting so the council could consider a limited allocation.
No formal appropriation was made; the council said it would consider the matter under old business at an upcoming meeting and asked residents and staff to prepare estimates and available historical records to support a narrow survey request (two or three control points) rather than a full town resurvey.
