Commissioners Set Hearing Date

Delaware County Commissioners set a hearing date of Oct. 11 at 9 a.m. regarding a petition to vacate a portion of a section line in Grandview Estates north of Grove where part of a home has been built on the section line.
In other action at their regular weekly meeting, the commissioners tabled for one week a motion to approve platting of a subdivision known as Apache Coves near Johnson Hollow, with 34 lots involved.
They also approved $23,000 expenditure to General Steel of Grove for construction of a 40 by 80 foot building at the county barn area north of the Grove airport; approved a resolution for intent circuit engineering fund, which uses state funds to pay for an environmental engineer to work with the county on bridge or road construction. Commission Bruce Poindexter pointed out that "this is a good thing" as sometimes bridge construction is held up over rare species or other environmental issues.
