Freestone County officials discuss resolution to abandon short Main Street segment in defunct Kerwin
Summary
Officials reviewed a resolution to cancel and abandon about one-tenth acre of Main Street in the defunct city of Kerwin; presenters said the segment has no roadbed, has been fenced for over 40 years and would revert to the original parcel. A motion was requested but no vote is recorded in the transcript.
Unidentified Speaker 4 presented a resolution to cancel and abandon a portion of Main Street located in the defunct city of Kerwin in Freestone County, saying the area measures about one-tenth of an acre and will return to the original property from which it was cut.
"It's going to go back to the original piece of property that it's cut out of, and it has been under fence," Unidentified Speaker 4 said, adding there is no roadbed and "there's no sign of a road." Speaker 4 said the packet included two exhibits: field notes and a map.
According to the presentation, the segment had been fenced for more than 40 years and was not functioning as a public roadway. Speaker 4 compared the proposal to a prior, similar action involving Sononi Road, where a planned route crossed private property and had been treated in prior proceedings.
Speaker 4 asked, "I have a motion to approve this resolution?" The transcript records the request for a motion but does not record who moved, whether a second was made on the resolution specifically, or any subsequent vote, so no formal outcome is available from this record.
If approved administratively, the resolution would return the small parcel to the adjacent landowner(s) and remove the segment from county-maintained road inventories, according to the presenter; the transcript does not include language describing subsequent filing or recording steps.
The item concluded without a recorded roll call or vote in the provided transcript.
