Commissioners approve petition to abandon portion of West Valley Drive (Petition 530)
Summary
After a public hearing with no public comment, the board voted to grant petition for abandonment #530 for a portion of West Valley Drive; applicant represented by Core Water Consulting.
The Flathead County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 5 approved petition for road abandonment number 530, a request to abandon a portion of West Valley Drive.
Mikael Siemens of Core Water Consulting (speaker 9) identified himself as representing the applicant (property owner Ms. McManus) and said his office prepared the petition and solicited the petition signatures. The chair opened a public hearing and asked for comments; there were no public speakers. Following the public‑hearing period, a commissioner moved to approve petition 530 and the board voted in favor.
Why it matters: the approved abandonment transfers the county’s interest in the right of way for the identified portion of West Valley Drive, which may affect ownership and access for adjacent property owners. The deputy county attorney later described related quiet‑title proceedings in a separate agenda item tied to a different abandonment.
Next steps: the order will be recorded in county records as the abandonment is finalized per the board’s action.
