Commission discusses Lowery Road vacation petition; deeds and measurement dispute noted
Summary
The Commission reviewed a petition to vacate Lowery Road but identified a discrepancy in the road segment length—Commissioner Jeff Hatcher noted about 250 feet at issue while County Attorney Phil Eldridge said it is 360 feet—and said a legal description and deed research are required before proceeding.
County Engineer Justin Barfield presented a Petition to Vacate Lowery Road for commission consideration but reported there was an issue with a segment of the road. Commissioner Jeff Hatcher said a triangular corner piece had been deeded to a church and described an issue with "two hundred and fifty feet of the road," but Attorney Phil Eldridge said his review showed the discrepancy spans "three hundred and sixty feet" and added the county could not find a deed to the church for the disputed portion. Commissioners said a legal description will be required before further action on vacating the road.
The exchange prompted the county attorney to request a precise written description to resolve competing measurements and to search deed records; no vote or final action on the vacation petition occurred at the meeting.
