Pickens County approves abandonment and conveyance of a short road segment
Summary
After a public hearing and staff presentation, the board approved abandoning a portion of Winston/Weston Road and deeded the described portion to adjacent property owners, including the Brooks trust; the record shows standard public‑notice steps were taken.
The Pickens County Board approved abandoning a small portion of Winston/Weston Road and conveyed the described strip to adjacent property owners following a staff presentation and public hearing.
Right‑of‑way staff (Wes Westright) described the proposed conveyance to the revocable trust of Richard Allen Brooks Jr. and another grantee described as 'ETC,' showing survey excerpts and tax‑map shading of the area under consideration. Staff said the portion under consideration was created when the road was moved previously and that notices and letters had been mailed to adjacent property owners.
After asking for public comment and receiving none, a commissioner moved and a second was made to approve abandoning the indicated portion and to deed it to the Porter property owner (as described in the motion). The motion carried by voice vote.
Next steps: County staff will execute deeds and update parcel and right‑of‑way records. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the meeting transcript.
