Petition to vacate Judyville/Winthrop alley delayed after deed discrepancy

Commissioners discussed a petition to vacate an alley in the town of Judyville (Winthrop area) submitted by petitioner Derrick Wyland but did not take final action after identifying inconsistencies in the deed information.

Speaker 1 introduced the ordinance petition and read that the petition concerned 'an alley between Lots 109 and 111' on Short/Winthrop Road. Speaker 3 told the board he believed the petitioner had provided the wrong deed number, saying he 'think[s] he gave us the wrong deed number, and I think that's where we went sideways.' Commissioners asked staff to double‑check the legal description with the county attorney and update the record; Speaker 3 offered to obtain corrected documents.

Because the board flagged the deed discrepancy, the item was tabled for correction and was expected to be revisited at a later meeting once the legal description and deed number are clarified. No vote to vacate the alley was recorded at this meeting.
