Summary
Lincoln County opened a public hearing on a petition from Modern Development LLC to add roughly 70 acres to the Etna Water and Sewer District; county clerk said an election was not required because 100% of affected landowners approved, and the board initiated a 30‑day protest period.
Lincoln County commissioners opened and closed a public hearing on Nov. 1 on a petition to enlarge the Etna Water and Sewer District to include a roughly 70‑acre parcel east of the elementary school.
April Brunski, the county clerk, told the board that Modern Development LLC submitted the petition and that the Etna Water and Sewer District had approved the addition. Brunski said the Department of Revenue reviewed the petition and that an election is not required because “100% of landowners/voters approve.” Surveyor Marlowe Scherbel described the enlargement area as bordering Etna Forest Road 112 and about 70 acres east of the elementary school. Lou Ann Henderson asked whether the enlargement borders Etna Forest Road 112; Scherbel confirmed it does.
What happens next: Brunski said no final action was taken at the hearing; the county will observe a 30‑day protest period before the board considers a resolution to approve the enlargement. If protests are filed within the statutory protest period, the board will follow the procedures required under state law for resolving those protests.
The board closed the hearing at 11:03 a.m. and stated a resolution would be presented after the protest period.
