Summary

A resident raised safety concerns about drivers approaching St. Benedict Cemetery and requested signage; the board discussed temporary warning signs, a permanent 'hidden driveway' sign, and county permitting support.

During public comment a resident raised safety concerns for people attending St. Benedict Cemetery, saying vehicles often pass mowing crews and visitors on a narrow approach. Board members discussed temporary warning signs that the property owner or county could place during events, and also considered installing a permanent sign such as “hidden driveway” or “caution — driveway ahead.”

Supervisors said permitting and placement issues could be handled through county channels and invited staff to coordinate with the landowner to determine whether temporary or permanent signage was preferable. The board did not take formal action but directed staff to follow up on options.
