Commission approves vacation of 33‑foot section line near Whitewood (Resolution 2026‑15)
Summary
After a public hearing and testimony from the property owner, the county approved Resolution 2026‑15 to vacate a 33‑foot section line in the White Flower State subdivision to allow construction of an accessory building; commissioners found no adverse access impacts and approved the measure by voice vote.
The Lawrence County Commission held a public hearing April 28 and approved Resolution 2026‑15 to vacate a 33‑foot section line in the White Flower State subdivision adjacent to Whitewood to allow a property owner to build an accessory structure. Property owner Andy Engle testified the right‑of‑way is steep, unlikely to ever function as a public road, and that the requested vacation would not adversely affect access to neighboring parcels.
Commissioners asked procedural questions about surveying and neighboring access; Commissioner Flanagan moved to approve the vacation and resolution 2026‑15, the motion was seconded and carried. The commission recorded no formal objections at the hearing and closed the matter after the vote. Staff noted that gates, if installed in other cases, must sit outside the right‑of‑way so they do not block county access.
