The Harney County Court approved Resolution 2025‑31 to name a private access off Crane Buchanan Road "Lane 14 Lane," following staff presentation and applicant submittal.

Planning staff said state building code and the county zoning ordinance require a named access where a private route serves three or more buildings to ensure emergency services and addressing accuracy. Joseph (Joe) Whitsall submitted the application and the staff report; notifications were sent to tax‑statement addresses for existing landowners and the new applicant. Several commissioners discussed whether naming should be triggered earlier (after the second dwelling) to avoid address changes for existing homeowners; staff said the current ordinance triggers at three or more buildings and that this application corrected an oversight.

A motion to approve the naming application and adopt Resolution 2025‑31 (Lane 14 Lane) was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; staff will notify affected residents and assign addresses according to Harney County and state addressing requirements.
