Commissioners agree to cancel Highway 36 purchase agreement after flood‑plain issue
Summary
A potential lot sale on Highway 36 fell through because of flood‑plain constraints; Pine Branch Real Estate asked the board to cancel the prior purchase agreement and the county approved the cancellation while declining a $25,000 cash offer.
Pine Branch Real Estate asked the Rawlins County Board of Commissioners on April 15 to cancel a previous purchase agreement for a lot on Highway 36 after the transaction failed because of flood‑plain restrictions.
Diana Skiles told the commissioners the original deal could not proceed due to the property’s flood‑plain designation and asked the board to approve a cancellation of the purchase agreement. Skiles said the prospective buyer then offered $25,000 in cash, which the commissioners declined; the board agreed to sign the cancellation.
The minutes do not record additional terms or an alternative buyer; the board’s action was limited to cancelling the prior agreement and declining the cash offer as presented by Skiles.
