Board moves toward public hearing on roadside sign and right-of-way changes
Summary
After citizen complaints about sight-distance and roadside signage, staff will collect right-of-way measurements and draft an ordinance; the board directed staff to return with an ordinance and said it will hold a public hearing next month for citizen input.
Board members and citizens discussed sight-distance concerns at the Route 38 and 614 intersection and broader roadside signage issues. Miss Worley (public works staff) said crews had regraded dirt roads and noted that some roads convey with a 30-foot prescriptive easement from historical conveyance; she offered to check plat records and right-of-way plans and the board agreed to gather distances and legal information.
The board asked staff to prepare a draft ordinance or agreement (VDOT template was referenced) and suggested holding a public hearing next month to solicit citizen input on potential changes. The chair summarized the approach: gather exact distances, have staff prepare a draft ordinance, and revisit the matter with a public hearing before any formal action.
