Commission approves Resolution 2612 to vacate county roadway
Summary
The commission voted to vacate a roadway described using adjacent county legal descriptions (Resolution 2612). Commissioners discussed the legal description and mapping references, noting the resolution used Dickson County section references even though the roadway lies in Ottawa County.
The board considered Resolution 2612 to vacate a roadway segment identified between the 3100 and 3200 blocks. Commissioners questioned the legal description in the draft resolution because it referenced section and range descriptions from Dickson County rather than the county's own road descriptions. Staff explained the resolution text was provided by the adjoining county's attorney and that the board was vacating what the other county had described.
After discussion about whether the roadway was along the county line or fully within the neighboring county, a commissioner moved and seconded to adopt Resolution 2612 as presented. The motion passed. Staff said they would have the resolution signed and would follow up on the mapping language if clarification proved necessary.
Why it matters: Road vacations change public right‑of‑way status and can affect maintenance responsibility and adjoining landowners; commissioners flagged the legal description for clarification prior to final documentation.
