A. Vacation of a portion of West Martell Road between
Southwest 72nd and Southwest 86th
Streets in Lancaster County, Nebraska.
(19982669)
The Chair reconvened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to testify in favor of the vacation.
The Chair stated she had received a letter from Doyle Onnen
(Exhibit A), farm manager of property owned by Alberta
Crouse. She stated the letter noted that a letter will be
forthcoming from Alberta Crouse regarding her opposition to
the vacation.
Norm Farnham, owner of the south portion of the east half,
distributed an aerial map (Exhibit B)and appeared in
opposition to the vacation.
John Howlett, owner of the north portion, also appeared in
opposition of the vacation.
Farnham stated that he felt placing a barricade at the half-mile
point would not stop people from dumping and would not
allow access to a fields belonging to the Crouse Estate. He
also stated it would lead to trespassing on property owned
by John Howlett.
Farnham stated he is also concerned about placement of a
permanent barricade on Southwest 72nd Street
because it would not allow access to property owned by the
Crouse Estate, John Howlett and himself. He suggested a 27
foot pipe gate be placed where the old bridge was to allow
access to property.
Farnham stated he is concerned about the target practice
taking place on the west end. He stated people are shooting
in the direction of West Martell Road and livestock or
individuals could be injured.
Farnham also suggested that a barricade be placed at Point A
on the map he distributed which would allow access to land.
Howlett stated he would prefer the bridge be fixed or
replaced and the road opened.
He also stated if his children would want to build a home on
the property he would not want them to have to build a new
county road to access their home.
Heier asked if anyone had talked to either Howlett or
Farnham regarding the vacation.
Both Farnham and Howlett responded no.
Hudkins stated if the County Board were to consider the
proposal regarding gating, both ends should be gated.
Farnham stated there is no way to get off the road at the west
end due to trees being on both sides and a high bank to the south.
Hudkins asked Howlett if he felt the bridge should be
replaced and the road brought up to standards or if it
should be barricaded at one end and gated at the other.
Howlett stated he preferred that the bridge be fixed or
replaced and the road brought up to standards.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to testify in favor of the vacation.
Hugh Sieck appeared in favor of the vacation and stated he
understood the concerns about people driving through the
Howlett property. He stated they would be willing to be in
total compliance with whatever the majority of the neighbors
want. He stated the reason they suggested the vacation was
to stop any pollution and to prevent a hazard and the
possibility of someone getting shot. Sieck stated he would
not be against the bridge being fixed/replaced and the road
being brought up to standards; however, it would cost the
County a large sum of money to do so.
The Chair asked if anyone wished to testify in a neutral position.
No one appeared and the Chair closed the hearing.
Action to be taken on Tuesday, January 5, 1999.

The Chair opened the public hearing and asked if anyone

received the request from the County Engineering Department
for a street name change in order to assist the users and
