Residents say parcel is landlocked; Nance County asks Loup Ferry Township to attend June 9 meeting
Summary
Tom and Ashley Usasz told supervisors their parcel off N 200th is effectively landlocked because the township-designated minimum maintenance road is not maintained; zoning rules require reclassification before a house can be built, and the board asked two of three township board members to attend the June 9 meeting to discuss options.
Tom and Ashley Usasz told the Nance County Board on May 26 that a roughly one-quarter-mile stretch north of a canal on N 200th road is designated a township minimum maintenance road, has not been maintained, and leaves their parcel effectively landlocked.
Zoning Administrator Dan Cornwell told the board that county zoning regulations prohibit building a house on a minimum maintenance road; the road would need reclassification to a regular township road before a dwelling could be permitted. The board discussed options including working with the township on payments for building or upgrading the road.
As a next step, the board directed the county clerk to invite two of the three Loup Ferry Township board members to the June 9 meeting to discuss reclassification and potential funding or payment arrangements. The clerk will send letters requesting their attendance.
The meeting record does not specify a timeline or funding commitment for reclassification; the matter remains unresolved pending township participation and any follow-up actions the township or board choose to take.
