Agenda Item Text:
Accept petition to alter established County Highway, known as Jefferson Road, and set public hearing date for September 15 to act on said petition.
Background:
As permitted by Planning and Zoning, a Family Dollar Store is scheduled to be built at the intersection of State Route 191 and Jefferson Road, a county maintained road. In 1913 the County filed a plat of Jefferson Road as a County Road, potentially providing the County with a 33 foot historical claim each side of the section line, 33 feet within the subject property. In addition, a second declaration in 1989 widened the established width to 70 feet, 35 feet within the subject property, anticipating future need of this corridor. Utilizing 35 feet of the subject property for road purposes inhibits the property from the designed Family Dollar use. Currently this roadway serves multiple local residential roads as well as a school site. As a rural minor collector, a design standard of 60 feet is sufficient for Jefferson Road.
As part of the permitting process, staff required that 25 feet of the subject property be dedicated and the developer has executed conveyance documents. In order to clear title and use of the unnecessary Jefferson Road establishment, staff recommends that the Board reduce the highway establishment from 70 feet to 60 feet and abandon any interest that the County may have acquired due to the 1913 plat filing.
Due to the historical nature of the County Highway establishment a petition is required. The developer has submitted a petition and staff has verified that the petition exceeds the requirements for residential signatures. The action before you today is acceptance of the Road Petition and scheduling a public hearing for September 15th to act on the petition.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Upon acceptance of the petition, a public hearing will be scheduled and advertised as required by statute.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The County Highway establishment for that portion of Jefferson Road will not be altered, inhibiting the subject property from being developed as a Family Dollar Store.
