1. The State Forester Firewarden or the board of directors of a fire protection district may temporarily close or restrict the use of an accessory road when the danger of fire arising from use of the road so requires. The closure or restricted use may not restrict, impede or preclude the use of the road by a public utility in maintaining, constructing or operating any of its facilities.
2. A board of county commissioners may permanently close an accessory road in its county when the public safety or welfare so requires. Before permanently closing an accessory road, the board of county commissioners shall hold a public hearing. The board shall give written notice of the time and place of the hearing to each owner of land served by the road, and to each stock raiser known to use the road. The board shall also publish the notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the county for 3 successive weeks before the date set for the hearing.
3. Following the hearing, the board of county commissioners shall not close the road unless the benefit to public safety or welfare from its closing outweighs the detriment to owners of land served by the road, to raisers of livestock using the road and to the general public.
4. If the permanent closing of an accessory road deprives an owner of access by road to the owner’s land, the public agency closing the road shall pay the owner just compensation for the owner’s loss.
