Commissioners clarify where Chimney Rock Road ends after resident inquiry
Summary
After a landowner asked whether Chimney Rock Road was a county road to his mailbox, staff reviewed easements and told the board the county-maintained portion ends at the center of Section 9; staff will provide the landowner the official description and supporting documents.
Commissioners reviewed easement records after a resident asked how far Chimney Rock Road is maintained by the county. A county staff member told the board they traced an easement from the To Do Ranch that references the county portion and found the county-maintained section terminates at the center of Section 9 rather than extending to a mailbox or into Section 9.
"That's what we found," said the staff member, who recommended the county call the landowner, provide the written description and the packet of easement documents, and note that the county previously held public hearings and adopted related resolutions in 2022.
Commissioners discussed prior work to map and legally declare county roads using petitions and easements, noting the process followed a legislative clarification that encouraged counties to document road declarations. Board members said they will follow up by providing the landowner the recorded description and answering follow-up commissioner-level questions about options for extending county maintenance.
The discussion did not produce a new formal action but resulted in staff agreeing to contact the resident with the confirmed terminus description and to supply the easement packet to commissioners for any further steps.
