§ 86-39. Notice of public hearing; posting of property.

(a)

When the county manager or designee sets a public hearing on a petition, notice of the time and place of the public hearing shall be published by the clerk to the board of county commissioners one time in a newspaper of general circulation in the county, at least 14 days prior to the date set for the public hearing. The county shall notify the applicant of the date and time of the public hearing and shall direct the applicant to post the property with a notice of petition to vacate. The applicant shall place the notice in a conspicuous and easily visible location on the subject property at least ten days prior to the public hearing.

(b)

At the public hearing, all interested persons shall be entitled to be heard; provided, however, that the board of county commissioners may refuse to hear testimony that is repetitious, irrelevant or immaterial. If the board grants petitioner's request for vacation, the board may vacate all or any portion of the subject property, and may attach such conditions as the board may deem to be in the public interest.
