Supervisors discuss potential vacation of long rural road near Nichols amid maintenance concerns
Summary
A landowner raised a culvert and drainage complaint on a rural road near Nichols; the county engineer described the road-vacation process and staff indicated they will contact adjoining landowners to gauge interest in vacating the maintenance responsibility.
A call from a local landowner about a degraded culvert on a long dirt road near Nichols (190th Street / Glass View Road) prompted supervisors and county staff to discuss the possibility of vacating the road. County engineer Bridal Hrovsky described the road as a long, low-traffic, maintenance-heavy route that has historically been difficult and costly to maintain; staff said they will reach out to the adjacent landowners to determine interest in pursuing a formal vacation process.
Hrovsky outlined the typical vacation process for landowners: submit a request to the county, placement on an agenda, public hearing and notice to adjoining owners; the board noted vacation proceedings can be time-consuming and staff try to gauge feasibility before triggering the formal process. Supervisors agreed staff should continue outreach and evaluate whether vacating would be mutually beneficial.
