Stream shift forces Allender Road realignment; staff seeks chairman's signature for easement
Summary
Public-works staff said stream migration is eroding Allender Road down to one lane. Staff negotiated a permanent right-of-way and a temporary construction easement with neighbors and asked for the chairman's authority to sign so the realignment and bank reinforcement work can proceed.
Public-works staff told the board that a stream has shifted and is eroding the roadway on Allender Road between two culvert projects, reducing the travel way to a single lane. Staff said they have worked with neighbors to secure a right-of-way easement and a temporary construction easement on the opposite side of the creek so the county can realign the road away from the shifting channel.
Mike Moss, Public Services Director, said the work would include bank reinforcement and permitting to stabilize the streambank as part of the realignment. Staff requested permission for the chairman to sign the easement documents so the project can move forward before residents lose access to the area. Moss emphasized the urgency by saying the stream "is starting to eat away at the road," noting the immediate need to preserve access for residents.
No formal motion text or vote was recorded in the open meeting; staff presented the easement instruments and asked for the chairman's signature to enable right-of-way acquisition and construction work.
