Fleming County Fiscal Court votes to remove Denton Lane from county maintenance
Summary
The Fleming County Fiscal Court voted July 9 to discontinue maintenance on CR 1200 (Denton Lane), upholding a 2016 affidavit after hearings and viewer recommendations; the motion passed 4–3.
At its July 9, 2024 meeting in Flemingsburg, the Fleming County Fiscal Court voted to discontinue county maintenance on County Road 1200 (Denton Lane), upholding a 2016 affidavit signed by all property owners abutting the roadway.
County Judge/Executive John Sims Jr. recommended enforcing the 2016 affidavit after the court reviewed that no maintenance had been performed on Denton Lane since 2019, that three public notices were published, and that two public hearings were held. Two viewers were appointed April 9, 2024 and made recommendations at the court’s May 14, 2024 meeting.
Magistrate Donnie Fawns moved to discontinue maintenance and Ray H. Money seconded. The roll call recorded No votes from Magistrates Kerri Marshall, Richie Kielman and Joe Dunaway Jr., and Yes votes from Magistrates Taylor Hunt, Donnie Fawns and Ray H. Money and County Judge/Executive John Sims Jr.; the motion carried 4–3.
The action removes CR 1200 (Denton Lane) from the county-maintained road list; the minutes do not specify any immediate alternate maintenance plan or county-funded remediation. The viewers’ written recommendations, referenced in the minutes, are recorded as having been considered by the court but are not reproduced in the meeting record.
The discontinuance follows the affidavit signed in 2016 and resolves the county’s maintenance responsibility for the roadway unless future action reopens the issue. The court did not record further directives in the minutes about notifying property owners of the administrative change beyond the prior public notices and hearings.
