Summary

On October 27, 2003, the Charlevoix County Road Commission accepted and certified Karnes Drive and Wojan Road in St. James Township as public roadways under County Road Commission jurisdiction. The resolution describes both as 66-foot rights-of-way in Charlevoix County Condominium Subdivision Plan 140 and says staff had inspected them for new-road construction requirements.

The resolution’s name is “Wojan Road,” while the current mapped road article is “Wojan Drive.” That spelling/suffix difference is preserved as a research lead; the record does not silently rewrite the historical resolution or assert a complete chain of later road-name changes.

Sources

  1. The resolution describes 66-foot rights-of-way for Karnes Drive and Wojan Road, identifies them in Charlevoix County Condominium Subdivision Plan 140, says staff inspected them, and accepts and certifies them as public roadways under County Road Commission jurisdiction effective October 27, 2003. The source uses “Wojan Road”; the current mapped entity is “Wojan Drive,” so the naming relationship is retained as a source-qualified variant rather than silently treated as identical legal wording.
