As used herein, the following words shall be defined as follows:
Applicant: Any person, firm, corporation or governmental entity requesting vacation or vacation and quit-claim of a right-of-way.
Dedication: A right-of-way dedication, unless stated otherwise, grants to the public an easement and does not convey the fee simple title.
Quit-claim: Transfer of any interest the county may have in a right-of-way to another party. A quit-claim is a transfer of property that does not prejudice any rights of use that others may have and does not warrant clear title to the land.
Underlying fee: The property upon which the right-of-way is physically located.
Vacation: Removal of a right-of-way from the county road system. Vacation makes no disposition of the property if the county owns the underlying fee.
