County says Squat Creek road will be legally established, not widened; survey copies to be posted online
Summary
Natrona County notified property owners about formally establishing Squat Creek as a public road; staff said the action establishes the road legally (following the centerline) and does not widen rights‑of‑way; several residents requested copies of the survey and staff agreed to post survey materials and public‑hearing information online.
County legal staff told commissioners that letters to property owners on Squat Creek were mailed and that notices ran in the newspaper beginning Feb. 14 as part of a process to legally establish the road. Staff emphasized the action will not increase the road width: the county is establishing the existing road alignment and legal easement, typically measured from the center line, not adding new right‑of‑way.
Property owners have called the county with questions about whether easements would encroach on their property. County staff agreed to provide copies of the survey and to publish the survey and hearing materials online alongside the public‑hearing notice to increase transparency. For a separate but related project, staff said they will send letters to East End Road property owners proposing easement amendments where as‑built road locations do not match recorded easements; if owners do not agree, the county will proceed with formal establishment procedures similar to the Squat Creek process.
Next steps: the county will continue public outreach, make survey copies available online, and proceed with scheduled public‑hearing notices; if easement amendments cannot be obtained by agreement, staff will follow formal establishment procedures.
