Introduced
by
To require the Department of Natural Resources, rather than just allow it, to grant an access easement to the owner of a parcel which is “landlocked,” meaning it has no other access except over state land. As under current law, this would only apply if the easement does not conflict with an existing program or management plan, or a local ordinance; if the new roadway is open to the public and is the minimum practicable width; if the easement provides the logical and most feasible access to the individual's land; and if the private owner agrees to build and maintain the road.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, Great Lakes, Land Use, and Environment
Reported without amendment
Without amendment and with the recommendation that the bill pass.
