Audubon County board divides vacated Ross Street equally after public hearing
Summary
After a public hearing April 7, 2026, the Audubon County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 2026‑16 clarifying that a previously vacated 66‑foot segment of North Street in Ross be divided equally between adjoining landowners (33 feet each); the resolution cites Iowa Code Chapters 306, 331.361 and 354.23 and will take effect upon publication.
The Audubon County Board of Supervisors on April 7 adopted Resolution 2026‑16 to clarify ownership of a previously vacated 66‑foot segment of North Street in the unincorporated town of Ross. Chairman Kent Grabill opened a public hearing at 10:01 a.m. before the Board approved the resolution by unanimous vote.
The resolution, prepared in response to a request for further clarification of the original 1983 vacation, states the vacated street will be divided equally between adjoining landowners, assigning each half (33 feet) adjacent to their property. The document cites proceedings performed under Iowa Code Chapter 306 and references Iowa Code sections 331.361 and 354.23 in connection with the April 7, 2026 public hearing and the County’s authority to memorialize the division.
Meeting participant Clark Borkowski asked where the vacant road is located during the hearing; no other public objections were recorded in the minutes. The Board’s action memorializes the intent the Board says existed at the time of the original vacation and directs that the resolution become effective upon publication in the official Audubon County newspaper.
The Board closed the public hearing at 10:50 a.m. and recorded that the resolution will be effective on publication. No appeals or further modifications were recorded in the meeting minutes.
