<br />§ 153A-241. Closing public roads or easements.
<br /> A county may permanently close any public road or any easement within the
<br />county and not within a city, except public roads or easement~ for pu~b$ic roads
<br />under the control and supervision of the De~a~trSent of Transportation. The
<br />board of commissioners s~hall first adopt a resolution declaring it~ intent to
<br />close the public road or easement and calling a pflblic hearing on th~ question.
<br />The board shall cause a notice of the public hearing reasonably calculated to
<br />give full and fair disclosure of the proposed closing to be published once a week
<br />for three successive weeks before the hearing, a copy of the resolution to be
<br />sent by registered or certified mail to each owner as shown on the county tax
<br />records of property adjoining the public road or easement who did not join in
<br />the request tohave the road or easement closed, and a notice of the closing and
<br />public hearing to be prominently posted in at least two places along the road
<br />or easement. At the hearingthe board shall hear all interested persons who
<br />appear with respect to whether the closing would be detrimental to the public
<br />interest or to any individual property rights. If, after the hearing, the board of
<br />commissioners is satisfied that closing the public road or easement is not
<br />contrary to the public interest and (in the case of a road) that no individual
<br />owning property in the vicinity of the road or in the subdivision in which it is
<br />located would thereby be deprived of reasonable means of ingress and egress to
<br />his property, the board may adopt an order closing the road or easement. A
<br />certified copy of the order (or judgment of the court) shall be filed in the office
<br />of the register of deeds of the county.
<br /> Any person aggrieved by the closing of a public road or an easement may
<br />appeal the board of commissioners' order to the appropriate division of the
