Adair County schedules follow-up hearing after landowners request vacation of part of 115th Street
Summary
Property owners asked the Adair County Board to vacate a portion of 115th Street. The board discussed maintenance liabilities and options, and agreed to schedule another public hearing at next week’s meeting.
Property owners asked the Adair County Board of Supervisors to vacate a portion of 115th Street, and the board agreed to schedule a follow-up public hearing to continue the matter.
Mark Earhart, Dan Deluhery and Dan Sherman addressed the board about vacating the roadway, saying the current use and maintenance burdens warranted reconsideration. Board discussion centered on maintenance liability and impacts on surrounding landowners; supervisors described options including outright closure, gravelling, or converting the road to Level C status. Property owners present expressed support for vacating the segment.
The board reached consensus to revisit the matter with a public hearing scheduled for next week’s meeting to allow additional public notice and formal process steps. No final action to vacate the road was taken at the March 31 meeting.
The county engineer will continue to provide information on maintenance implications and legal requirements ahead of the next hearing.
