Hobart board approves resolution to discontinue Lonesome Road, schedules public hearing
Summary
The Village of Hobart on Feb. 3 approved Resolution 2026-01 to discontinue Lonesome Road and a portion of West Adam Drive under Wis. Stat. § 66.1003 and directed staff to hold a public hearing on the vacation at the March 17 meeting.
The Village of Hobart Village Board on Feb. 3 approved Resolution 2026-01 to discontinue Lonesome Road and a portion of West Adam Drive, restarting a process that stalled late last year.
The resolution, presented by Board President Rich Heidel, cites Wis. Stat. § 66.1003 and was approved by voice vote 5-0 (motion by Heidel, second by Vanya Koepke). The board then directed staff to schedule a public hearing on the vacation and discontinuance for the March 17, 2026 Village Board meeting (motion by Heidel; second by David Dillenburg; voice vote 5-0).
The action resumes coordination with Brown County and other parties involved in the discontinuance process. The board approved related routine business on the consent agenda, including appointments to the Hobart Fire Commission.
The public hearing will provide a formal opportunity for affected residents and property owners to comment on the proposed vacation and discontinuance; the board’s direction sets the hearing date but does not itself effect a conveyance or change in ownership. Next steps recorded in the minutes are scheduling the hearing and continuing the statutory discontinuance process under state law.
