Crawford County sets Dec. 2 hearing on request to vacate half-mile rural road
Summary
The Crawford County Commission set a public hearing for Dec. 2 to consider vacating about a half-mile section of road near the 250th/680th intersection after counsel said the owner on both sides requested the change and no parcels would be landlocked.
The Crawford County Commission on a routine agenda set a public hearing for Tuesday, Dec. 2, to consider a request to vacate roughly a half-mile section of rural road near the 250th and 680th intersection, county counsel said.
County Counselor Randy Sanford presented maps and background information, telling commissioners that part of the route had been vacated by a county order in 1939 and that the current request is to clarify and simplify the remaining half-mile. The counsel said the property owner owns parcels on both sides of the road and that no property would be landlocked if the vacation is approved.
The commission made and seconded a motion to set the hearing and provide legal notice as presented by counsel. A specific vote tally on the hearing-setting motion was not recorded in the meeting transcript.
If the vacation is approved after the public hearing, the county record will be updated and the ownership lines adjusted accordingly. The commission did not take a final decision at the meeting; it set the date for the public hearing and will consider public testimony and any legal matters at that later session.
Next steps: the hearing is scheduled for Dec. 2; the county will notify adjacent property owners and hold the public hearing before any final action.
