Court reviews petition to abandon sections of Adam Lorenz Bridge Road and County Road 381
Summary
A petition to close, abandon and vacate sections of Adam Lorenz Bridge Road and County Road 381 was presented; commissioners noted the roadway has not been used publicly for at least three years and discussed boundary lines, fence-line agreements, and potential landowner contention, with no final abandonment action recorded in the transcript.
The court considered a petition (the agenda cites an author named Mark Nica and sponsorship by Commissioner Benny Lisi of Precinct 2) to close, abandon and vacate portions of Adam Lorenz Bridge Road and County Road 381, also identified as North 2nd Street.
A participant noted the corridor “hasn’t been used as a public road or transit anyway for certainly more than 3 years,” and told the court the land has effectively been used by adjacent landowners as private property. Commissioners and members of the public raised concerns about precisely where dividing lines would be drawn and whether existing fence lines would guide the division; one commissioner noted prior contention between neighbors and said if there is no prior agreement the right-of-way should revert to dividing lines down the middle of the former roadway.
The court discussed legal procedures and asked for clarification from county legal counsel on how the reversion should be documented. No formal vote to abandon or finalize boundary transfers appears in the recorded transcript; the item remained under discussion pending clarification about fence lines and landowner agreements.
