Itasca County approved a settlement with adjacent property owners after county maintenance work on CR 211 (Zim’s Lane) in fall 2025 included unauthorized work beyond the established right‑of‑way that resulted in brushing, tree removal and damage to a mature maple tree.
Presenter Karin Grandia told the board the maintenance crew’s work aimed to provide roadside drainage relief where water would otherwise run along the edge of the gravel and cause washouts. The packet states county crews failed to verify boundary lines before performing the work; the county negotiated a settlement to compensate the property owners and the board approved the settlement 5–0.
The motion as recorded directs county staff to finalize the settlement documents and authorized signatures for the release and related agreements.
