Commission approves Webber right‑of‑way vacation with 10‑foot mirrored drainage easement

Jan 7, 2026

The commission approved Resolution 2026‑02 to vacate a 50‑foot right‑of‑way requested by the Webbers, adding a condition requiring a mirrored 10‑foot drainage and utility easement on the north side of the relevant fence to address neighbor concerns about drainage and access.

The full story

Corey Rydes (speaker 10), the county surveyor and senior planner, summarized an application from the Webbers to vacate a 50‑foot public right‑of‑way the applicant argued was unused and difficult to improve. "The right of way is currently not improved at all and would be relatively difficult to improve," Rydes said, and noted that utility companies and the city of Elko raised no blocking objections to the vacation.
