Resident reports metal signs cut and removed after private-road dispute

A local resident raised a complaint to the commission about metal posts and 'private road/stay out' signage installed on a subdivision access near their home. The resident said a police officer inspected the posts and then, during the night, someone cut the metal posts and removed them.

Commission members responded that, "as far as I know, that's not a private road. That's a subdivision road," and suggested that a clearer 'dead end' sign would better communicate access limitations for hunters and visitors. Commissioners encouraged the resident to follow up with planning staff and law enforcement if there are safety concerns or repeated vandalism.

The exchange highlighted local tensions over signage, private property boundaries and appropriate signage language; commissioners said they will clarify the status of the road and advise residents on acceptable signage and any enforcement steps.
