Court initiates process to remove Bill Charles Cemetery Road from county road system at owner’s request
Summary
Property owner Joe Broadwell asked the court to remove Bill Charles Cemetery Road from the Lee County road system; the court voted to start the required 30-day public-notice process after staff said the owner is the only resident served and county crews have not maintained the road in years.
The court considered a request from property owner Joe Broadwell to take Bill Charles Cemetery Road out of the Lee County road system. A court presenter said Broadwell owns the only parcel served by the road and that county crews have not worked the road for years. The presenter also said the site contains "just two graves" (identified as Phil Charles and another), and that Broadwell indicated there are no other residents affected.
The court voted to "start the process," which the presenter described as placing signage at each end of the road and observing a 30-day period before a final vote to remove the road from the system. County staff indicated they will follow the statutory/public-notice steps required for road abandonment or removal from the system.
No final removal vote occurred in the recorded segments; the action taken was initiation of the notice and procedural steps toward removal.
