Commissioners accept petition to close two undeveloped roads in Windsor Woods Estates, set Feb. 9 public hearing
Summary
The board accepted a resident petition to close two undeveloped platted roads in Windsor Woods Estates and approved an amended public hearing notice setting a Feb. 9 hearing; petitioners corrected footage and lot/block labels in the amended filing.
Pittsburg County commissioners accepted a petition on Jan. 12 asking the board to close two undeveloped platted roads in Windsor Woods Estates and approved an amended public hearing notice to solicit public comment on the proposal.
Commissioner Charlie Rogers moved to accept the petition; the motion passed unanimously. The petition describes one undeveloped road running 141.57 feet beginning at the north line of the intersection with London Dock Lane (between Lot 48 Block A and Lot 47 Block A) and another running 143.80 feet beginning at the north line of the intersection with London Dock Lane (between Lot 46 Block B and Lot 50 Block A). The petition included multiple property-owner signatures and an explanatory note correcting previously misstated footage and lot/block identifiers.
The board read and approved an "Amended" Public Hearing Notice 26-003 to close the platted roads; the notice sets a public hearing for 10:00 a.m. on Feb. 9, 2026 in the commissioners' conference room. The amended notice states that the hearing will explain likely impacts on community members and residents.
Why it matters: Closing a platted public road can alter access, property boundaries, and responsibilities for maintenance and affects adjacent landowners who signed the petition as well as others in the subdivision.
What happens next: The board will hold the public hearing on Feb. 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in the County Commissioners Conference Room, where residents may speak for or against the proposed closure. The petitioners and county staff will present evidence and the board may accept public input, continue deliberations or schedule further action following the hearing.
Quote: "I have put the new date on this to be approved on the 5th of January, 2026 and the 2nd of February, 2026 for the public hearing," the filing's explanatory note states, describing corrected measurements and lot identifications.
The minutes record the board's unanimous vote to accept the petition and approve the amended notice.
