Beisel Rd – Aerial View

Beisel Road - History In 1981, non-exclusive easement acquired by USA for a

portion of what is now Beisel Rd In 1990, through a land exchange USA conveyed property

to William C. Sullivan, but retained ingress-egress rights along what was designated Forest Service System Road FSSR-1011

Subsequently, a cooperative agreement was made between USFS and Newberry County for maintenance along FSSR-1011 (Beisel Rd)

In 2009, residents requested paving of Beisel Rd through USFS and Newberry County, however, the road was not a County road

USFS supported the County assuming full maintenance of the road

By Ordinance, Newberry County no longer accepts new roads into its system that are not paved

Beisel Road – History (continued)Newberry County Council amended its Road

Paving Ordinance to allow the acceptance of unpaved roads that have been maintained continuously for at least 3 years by a government authority

In August 2010, 100% of property owners on Beisel Rd granted right-of-way required for Newberry County to accept the road and make it eligible for paving

October 20, 2010 Newberry County Council unanimously accepted Beisel Rd into its road system
