Supervisors approve multiple right-of-way easements and signatures for bridge replacements
Summary
Bremer County approved permanent and temporary easements for several landowners tied to bridge replacements (including the 9‑4 project) and authorized signatures for multiple bridge replacement projects; parcel and tree valuations were read into the record.
The Bremer County Board of Supervisors approved a series of permanent and temporary right-of-way easements connected with planned bridge replacements and authorized board signatures for several bridge projects.
Engineer Landon reviewed the 9‑4 bridge work and associated easements for adjacent landowners. For one parcel he read itemized values into the record: “Total value, $169.08” (ground value for a parcel) and later described a larger parcel with a higher total including tree values: “Total value of the permanent right of way, 18,004 and $88.96.” The board also approved permanent and temporary easements for Zachary and Kelly Pierce and for Jeffrey Sage after hearing estimated land, fence and tree compensation figures.
The board moved on to right-of-way and temporary-easement items for Bridge 106 (260th Street) near the Denver Quarry and authorized a permanent easement for John Stack and others. A temporary right-of-way for BMC Aggregates was approved with small-value compensation and tree removal payments as detailed by staff. For the bridge near a resident’s property (Kirchhoff), the board authorized the chair to sign a bridge‑painting permit and discussed sending a letter of appreciation to citizens who take on maintenance tasks.
Supervisors asked staff to require GPS as-built tile or mapping files when accepting bids for related projects, and directed the engineer and county counsel to ensure specifications and ownership of digital mapping are clear before final contractor selection.
