The Cass County Board of Supervisors approved the vacating of two roads during their meeting today (Wednesday), in Atlantic. Action on another road closure was tabled until the Board’s next meeting, during which a public hearing will be held on five additional road closures, as well.

The roads the Board approved for vacating include 842-feet of 644^th Street in Section 14 of Grove Township, and 1,287-feet of Galt Lane, in Section 5 of Lincoln Township. No objections were made during the public forum held prior to the vote to vacate.

A representative from the Guthrie County REC voiced concerns however, with regard to the vacating of 2,400-feet of 700^th Street lying between the northern right-of-way limits of Boston Road and the southern right-of-way limits of Interstate 80. The representative said they have a power line along that road that crosses the interstate. He was worried they would be “land-locked” and the property owner, who intends to farm the land, would not allow them access to their lines, or that they would be held responsible for crop damage.

The Board tabled action on vacating that section of road until the County can make arrangements to talk with the property owner and come to an agreement about an easement and the crop concerns.

In other business, the Supervisors set 8:45-a.m. March 5^th, as the time and date for a public hearing on the Fiscal year 2014-2015 budget.
