Commissioners Approve Vacation of Portion of County Road 85 (Resolution 25‑11‑028)
Summary
Sheridan County commissioners approved Resolution 25‑11‑028 to vacate a portion of County Road 85 (also called Trapper/Rapid Creek Road) in Section 31, Township 55 North, Range 85 West after the county received no written objections to the statutory notice.
Sheridan County commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 25‑11‑028 on Nov. 4 to vacate a portion of County Road 85 (also known as Trapper Creek/Rapid Creek Road) after the county advertised the proposed vacation and received no written objections.
A county representative described the legal notice process used in September and October; the board set the record that public notice was provided and no objections were filed. "No objections were received by the county," a county engineer representative said during the discussion, and commissioners moved to approve the resolution and authorized the chairman to sign. Edith Thompson, the county clerk, noted the applicant’s attorney had been provided a draft resolution but was unavailable to appear at the meeting.
Why it matters: Road vacations transfer public right‑of‑way back to adjacent owners or change maintenance responsibility, and are significant for property access and land use. The board followed the advertised procedure and approved the vacation in the absence of objections.
Details: The resolution applies to a described portion of County Road 85 in Section 31, Township 55 North, Range 85 West. Staff reported the right‑of‑way is lightly maintained and functions largely as driveway access for adjoining ranch owners; commissioners noted the limited public maintenance before approving the resolution.
