Board discusses road/right‑of‑way dispute; matter turned over to attorneys
Summary
Council members said a disputed parcel and road alignment are now in attorneys' hands after a survey showed boundary differences; the board said it will not move the road and that legal counsel should handle communications with affected property owners.
During the same special meeting the Orderville Town Board addressed a separate dispute over a road/right‑of‑way and property boundaries. The board said a survey returned results that differ from long‑held understandings of the road alignment and that an attorney representing one or more residents has been retained.
Speaker 1 told the council that the town attorney advised the parties to resolve the matter through counsel, saying, "this is between attorneys now." Board members agreed they would not move the road while the legal process proceeds and instructed staff that any inquiries from opposing counsel should be directed to the town attorney. Speakers discussed that residents had previously raised concerns and that some fundraising/designations for the park had been intended for recreation and infrastructure elsewhere, but the council emphasized it will follow the attorney's guidance.
The board did not take further action on the road alignment at the meeting and adjourned after routine business. Next steps will be legal correspondence handled by the town and the property owners' attorneys.
