Summary

On August 13, 2008, Charlevoix County Road Commission staff met with a property owner about right-of-way encroachments at High Ridge Court in Peaine Township on Beaver Island. The minutes say the owner was cooperative, would petition Circuit Court to abandon the cul-de-sac, and would provide a Road Commission turnaround; the commission would not oppose a proposed plat alteration on those conditions.

This record documents the road-maintenance and property-rights discussion, not the identity of the owner or the result of any later court or plat process.

Open questions

  • Did the owner petition Circuit Court, and was the cul-de-sac formally abandoned?
  • Which plat alteration and turnaround design, if any, followed the meeting?
  • Can a public court or road-commission record identify the property owner?

Sources

  1. The minutes identify High Ridge Court in Peaine Township on Beaver Island, report that CCRC staff met with the property owner on August 13, 2008 about right-of-way encroachments, and say the owner would petition Circuit Court to abandon the cul-de-sac while providing a Road Commission turnaround. The minutes do not identify the owner, establish a final court order, or prove that abandonment occurred.
