A resident says the county has been maintaining a half-mile stretch of road built under TVA Project 7106 without ever adding it to the official county road list, complicating surveys and property records. He asked the commission to formally add the .26-mile segment with a 40-foot right-of-way.
Warren Springs Road status dispute
