Resident raises Hurst Road blockade; county attorney says court can't resolve private land dispute
Summary
At the Oct. 13 meeting a resident, Jamie Hurst, reported that Hurst Road is blocked. County Attorney Monica Hill told Hurst the Fiscal Court has no responsibility for land disputes on privately owned land and advised pursuing private legal remedies, including possible Circuit Court action or enforcement of any existing order.
Jamie Hurst told the Fleming County Fiscal Court on Oct. 13 that Hurst Road had been blocked and sought county assistance.
County Attorney Monica Hill responded that the Fiscal Court cannot resolve land disputes that involve property the county does not own. Hill advised Hurst to consult a private attorney experienced in land disputes; she said such counsel might recommend filing a civil action in Circuit Court or seeking enforcement if an existing court order already is on file.
No formal action was taken by the Fiscal Court on the matter; the minutes record the exchange and the county attorney’s recommendation but do not show any directive to county staff to intervene.
The resident’s complaint remains a privately litigated matter unless further legal or court orders change the county’s role.
