Summary

The board approved two ordinances vacating alleys: Ordinance 1 (Brentlinger) affecting property west of Center and Smith, and Ordinance 2 (Lane Transportation LLC) affecting property west of Bennett; both were approved by voice vote after representation by attorney Richard Shagley.

County planning staff presented two alley-vacation petitions: one for David Brentlinger (property west of Center and Smith, north of Gannon) and a second from Lane Transportation LLC (a salvage-junkyard parcel west of Bennett). Attorney Richard Shagley (Wright Shagling Lowry, as stated in the transcript) represented both petitioners and answered commissioners’ questions about ownership and intended cleanup and fencing.

Commissioner (Unidentified Speaker 3) moved to approve the Brentlinger vacate as "ordinance number 1 2026"; another commissioner seconded and the board approved by voice vote. The Lane Transportation vacate was presented as the second ordinance (referred to in the transcript as "ordinance number 2 20 26"); commissioners discussed that the parcel sits in a flood plain and that petitioners intend to reestablish property lines and clean up the site. The board approved the Lane Transportation vacate by voice vote.

The transcript records motions, seconds and voice votes ("Aye") but does not include a roll-call vote with member names. The record shows attorney Richard Shagley spoke on behalf of both petitioners and that staff had preliminarily approved both petitions on Dec. 15.
