Petition for Abandonment of Road lying within Tract 2 of COS 3917

The property owners of and neighboring to Tract 2 of Certificate of Survey 3917 have petitioned the Missoula County Commissioners to abandon the public right-of-way described as Road Plat Book 1 Page 48 - a Road lying within Tract 2 of COS 3917, located in the S1/2 of S20, T14N, R20W, P.M.M. You can find the petition online at missoulaproperty.us (https://gis.missoulacounty.us/propertyinformation/) or in the Clerk & Recorder's Office recorded at Book 1111 Page 1037. All affected landowners have signed the petition. According to the petition, the abandonment of the right-of-way is necessary and advantageous for the following reasons; "This portion of the county road described above is non-existent as a roadway for the passage of vehicles or commerce. U.S. Highway 10 W. lies on the east margin of the property and effectively replaces this Road Plat Book 1 Road public Right-of-way. Public road rights-of-way will be created within proposed subdivision."

Staff will present the petition to the Commissioners at their Public Meeting at 2 p.m. Thursday, May 22, 2025, where they will hear public comment. A view of the proposed road abandonment has been set for May 28, 2025, and a second hearing will be held at the Commissioners' Public Meeting at 2 p.m. on Thursday June 5, 2025. Join the meetings in the Sophie Moiese Room of the Missoula County Courthouse Annex, 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, or via Microsoft Teams.
