Perry County commissioners approve vacation of a public way known in the transcript as Snider’s Curb (also referenced as Snyder Curve)
Summary
After a public hearing with no objections and no adjoining property owners requiring notification, Perry County commissioners voted by voice to vacate a public way identified in the hearing's legal description. The board added the item to the agenda and approved the vacation during the meeting.
Perry County commissioners approved a motion to vacate a public way described in the meeting as Snider’s Curb (the transcript later refers to the same feature as Snyder Curve). The hearing record included a legal description (part of the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section 21, township 5, range 2 west, Anderson Township, Perry County, Indiana) and a statement from staff that no adjoining property owners required notification.
The purpose of the public hearing was to allow any interested parties to comment. No adjoining property owners spoke and no objections were recorded. Following that public hearing, a commissioner moved to vacate the right-of-way, the motion was seconded, and the board approved the action by voice vote.
Why it matters: Vacating a public way transfers or clears municipal claims to the parcel and may affect property access or future development; in this instance the transcript records that the current property owner surrounds the whole property, which the staff said removed the need for adjacent-owner notice.
Procedural note: The transcript uses two spellings when referring to the feature ("Snider's Curb" early in the record and "Snyder Curve" later in agenda motions). The commissioners asked for formal plans and then proceeded to approve the vacation by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally or any recorded objections.
What’s next: The board moved on to other business after approving the vacation; any legal recordings, deed adjustments or official notifications required by county code were not documented in the meeting transcript.
