Public hearing set for proposed abandonment of Avenue E, F and G in Stowell Township
Summary
Commissioners set a public hearing for June 23, 2026 to consider a petition from property owner Mark Armantore to abandon three 60‑foot unimproved rights‑of‑way between 1st and 2nd Street in Stowell; staff said affected property owners will be notified and allowed to comment.
The Chambers County Commissioners Court voted to set a public hearing for 10 a.m. on June 23, 2026 to consider a petition by Mark Armantore to abandon Avenue E, F and G in Stowell Township, the court announced during its regular session.
County staff described the three streets as 60‑foot unimproved rights‑of‑way between 1st and 2nd Street and said the petitioning owner holds majority stakes in adjacent properties. Commissioners directed staff to notify all adjacent property owners and confirmed that homeowners affected by the proposed abandonment will have an opportunity to comment at the scheduled hearing.
Several commissioners urged the item be divided into independent components so each right‑of‑way can be considered on its own merits rather than as a blanket approval. Road and engineering staff agreed to bring separate agenda components for each avenue at next month’s meeting.
The court approved a motion to set the public hearing by voice vote; the chair announced, “Motion carries.” The hearing will allow property owners to present concerns or support before any final action is taken by the court.
Next procedural steps: staff will mail required notifications to affected owners and return the item for public comment and possible action following the June 23 hearing.
