Sportsmen's club seeks right-of-way lease; club offers to survey and pay costs
Summary
The North Fork Sportsmans Club requested town action on the right-of-way entrance adjacent to club property, offered to pay for a survey, and asked the council to consider a long-term lease; council asked for two weeks of review and scheduled the item for the May 13 meeting.
Carl Lamie, president of the North Fork Sportsmans Club, presented documents and photos to the council about the right-of-way entrance between the club and town property and asked that the club be granted control or a long-term lease for the entrance area. Lamie said the club draws large membership and visitors to Saltville during events and offered to fund and arrange the required survey work to define the right-of-way.
Town staff and council discussed the need for Smyth County to issue a deed of vacation to split the property if necessary and identified potential utilities (a salt shed and an apparent sewer clean-out) that must be accounted for in any transfer. Council agreed to take two weeks for review and directed staff to place the matter on the May 13 agenda for further consideration. Lamie summarized the club’s position: “Our club brings in a large membership along with visitors to the town when there is an event.”
