Scott easement

The county-certified local government committee, which focuses on historic preservation, spoke with Sublette County Commissioners about the possibility of preserving a section of the Lander Trail that is threatened by the possibility of subdividing.

The property is owned by Joe Scott and is located adjacentto the southern end of Paradise Road.

The historic easement will seek to have the trail kept in its present condition, with no development of a 100-foot easement centered on the trail, and no pedestrian or public access to the easement. The committee recommended that the county grant Scott a total of $6,000 for the six acres that will encompass the easement through the Scott property. The county attorney’s office will draft the easement documents.

Eminent domain

The Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Agriculture, Public Lands and Water Resources Interim Committee will meet Sept. 18 at 8:30 a.m. in room 302 of the State Capitol building in Cheyenne.

The purpose of this meeting is to continue discussion on the interim topic of eminent domain.
