Ward County denies right-of-way reversal, offers owner $2,135 for 1.62 acres
Summary
After debate over maintenance access, commissioners voted down a proposed right-of-way reversal and instead approved denying the application while offering the owner $2,135 for 1.62 acres of right-of-way, with funds coming from the Highway Department.
Ward County Recorder Kristin Kowalczyk presented a right-of-way reversal application (HA190990000160) from Souris Valley Bowman that would have removed county road-maintenance authority for the parcel.
Commissioner Schuler moved to approve the reversal contingent on an easement for maintenance; that motion failed on a roll call vote with Schuler voting yes and Commissioners Rostad, Merritt, Olson and Chairman Fjeldahl voting no. The commission then voted to deny the reversal application but to offer $2,135 to the property owner for 1.62 acres of right-of-way, with the funds coming from the Highway Department; that motion passed with Rostad, Merritt, Olson and Fjeldahl voting yes and Schuler voting no.
