The Story County Board of Supervisors finds as follows:
(Code of Iowa, Sec. 331.301[1])
1. The unauthorized use of secondary road right-of-way is a problem in the County.
2. This problem includes, but is not limited to, the cultivation and growing of crops on the County right-of-way; the improper placing of fences or ditches on the County right-of-way; the alteration of ditches, water breaks and drainage tiles on the County right-of-way; the placement of trash, junk, rocks, corncobs, brush, abandoned vehicles or machinery and other items on the County right-of-way; and the placement of billboards, signs, hazardous mailbox supports, and advertising devices on the County right-of-way.
3. The unauthorized use of secondary road right-of-way can, among other things, undermine attempts to control drainage and floodwater, diminish snow storage capacity and hinder snow removal, damage or shorten the life expectancy of the roadway, or create hazardous obstructions in the roadway.
4. The unauthorized use of secondary road right-of-way therefore endangers the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Story County.
The Board further finds that it is necessary to prevent the unauthorized use of County secondary roadway right-of-way.
