Commission approves certificate of viewing and moves to vacate portion of Walker Road
Summary
The Geary County Board of Commissioners accepted a road viewers' certificate and voted to approve a petition from adjacent landowner Colin Barrowan to vacate part of Walker Road after viewers reported no adverse effects and no county cost.
The Geary County Board of Commissioners opened a public hearing on a petition by adjacent landowner Colin Barrowan to vacate a segment of Walker Road and voted to accept the road viewers' certificate recommending the vacation.
County-appointed road viewers Bobby Miller, Terry Halstead and Alvin Allen Hildebrand presented a certificate of viewing that, in their assessment, found "no adverse effect on any adjacent landowners" and said the action would not cost the county. The county surveyor also appeared and staff indicated proper notice had been published to adjacent owners.
A commissioner moved to approve the certificate of viewing and proceed with the vacation; another commissioner seconded the motion. The chair called the vote and announced the motion carried after those present voted "aye." The board did not record individual roll-call votes on the record in the meeting transcript.
Next steps discussed by staff included filing the certificate and completing any required legal measures to finalize the road vacation. Commissioners thanked the road viewers for conducting the site inspection in favorable weather.
The board did not specify an effective date for the vacation during the hearing and did not identify additional easement conditions in the transcript.
