Commissioners hold public hearing and approve first reading to accept four county roads
Summary
At a public hearing the board approved first reading of a resolution to accept Little Gold Road, Royal Gold Creek Road, Queen Road and Wyman Gulch Road as county roads and to accept easements from the U.S. Forest Service; final signatures and second reading will follow next week.
The Granite County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing on May 1 and approved the first reading of a resolution to accept four roads into the county system and to accept required easements from the U.S. Forest Service.
County attorney Blake Bradshaw summarized the process and said the hearing and easement agreements were in order. Following public comment and a motion, the commission voted on first reading to accept Little Gold Road, Royal Gold Creek Road, Queen Road and Wyman Gulch Road as county roads and to accept the associated USDA Forest Service easements. The chair said the formal signature and second reading will occur next week once the Forest Service returns a signed version of the easement paperwork.
Why it matters: Accepting these roads as county roads formalizes maintenance responsibility and preserves public access. Officials said the move will keep the routes open for recreational and other public uses and enables county and federal coordination on easement management.
What happens next: The resolution will proceed to a second reading and signature next week; commissioners may take additional public comment at that time.
