After hearing objections, Boone County keeps 330th Avenue open pending drainage solutions
Summary
At a public hearing on Aug. 10, the board heard testimony opposing vacating 330th Avenue between 150th and 160th Street because of access and drainage concerns; the board voted to keep the road open to allow landowners time to pursue low‑crossing or drainage solutions.
Chairman Jon Lindgren opened a public hearing on a proposed vacation of 330th Avenue (between Sections 35 and 36, Township 22 North, Range 5 West) at 10:30 a.m. Highway Superintendent Brian McDonald told the board he had submitted a July 13 feasibility study recommending vacating the segment and reverting right‑of‑way to adjacent owners.
Residents spoke against closure. Ed Hansen said he would lose access to farm ground he rents from Ralph Pieke if the county vacated the road. Chad Fehringer suggested exploring a low crossing or drainage improvements as alternatives to vacation. McDonald cautioned the board that Federal wetland regulations constrain county options in the area. After public comment the board voted to keep 330th Avenue open to allow landowners time to pursue solutions for flooding and drainage.
