Audubon County schedules April 7 hearing to clarify Ross road vacation
Summary
The Audubon County Board of Supervisors set a public hearing for April 7, 2026, on Resolution No. 2026-13, which proposes dividing a vacated 66-foot section of North Street in Ross equally (33 feet each) between adjoining landowners to clarify title for property transfers.
The Audubon County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2026-13 on March 24, 2026, and scheduled a public hearing for 10:00 a.m. on April 7, 2026, to clarify the division of a vacated 66-foot segment of North Street in the Unincorporated Town of Ross.
The resolution, included in the meeting record, states the county intends to memorialize that the previously vacated 66-foot street along the south line of Lot 2 of Outlot 1 in Section 4 be divided equally between adjoining landowners, awarding each half (33 feet) adjacent to their respective properties. The notice cites Iowa Code chapters 306, 331.361 and 354.23 and lists the hearing location as the Board Room at the Audubon County Courthouse in Audubon.
Board action to place the matter on the agenda was approved by motion and the record shows the resolution was formally adopted at the March 24 meeting. The hearing is intended to allow interested parties to confirm or contest the county’s proposed clarification before the county finalizes any changes to title or records.
Procedure and next steps: the hearing record will be the county’s opportunity to gather testimony and any evidence regarding the original 1983 vacation and the county’s present intent to divide the vacated strip. If no further objections are sustained, the county’s action to memorialize the division would facilitate property transfers and clarification of title for the adjoining owners.
