Platte County lost a lawsuit brought by residents along Bridle Parc Lane in southern Platte County. The lawsuit was filed by Robert Bateman against the county, saying that Bridle Parc Lane was a private roadway because paperwork for the roadway easements was not properly filed with the county. Bateman was represented by William Quitmeier, attorney. In Judge Abe Shafer’s ruling, he declares the roadway is a private road and the only people who use the road are residents and even “the mailman does not use (Bridle Parc Lane) as there is a community mailbox that is accessible from Mace Road.”
