Any person wishing to cultivate or enclose land through which any road may run may petition the county commission, first giving notice, as in the case of new roads, for permission to turn such road on his own land or on the land of any other person consenting thereto, at his own expense. The commission shall thereupon cause the county highway engineer to view the same and report the practicability of the proposed change and distances and situation of the ground, and proposed changes, at the first term of the commission thereafter; and if upon the report the commission be satisfied that the public will not be in any manner injured thereby, or said road lengthened or the grade thereof increased, or the road thrown on rougher land, it shall order such a change, and upon satisfactory proof of such road being opened in such manner as to be equally convenient to travelers, the commission shall make an order vacating so much of the former road as lies between the different points of intersections, and cause the report thereof to be recorded.

After the time for filing the answer to the petition has expired and after the parties have had a reasonable time for discovery, the court shall conduct a nonjury hearing during which the parties may submit evidence pertaining to the allegations of the petition and to the proposed location of the private road. If the court determines upon a petition to establish a private road that there is access to a public road or that the way sought is not a way of strict necessity, then the petition shall be dismissed. If the court determines that there is no access to a public road and the way sought is a way of strict necessity, then it shall further determine the location of a private road that is situated so as to do as little damage or injury and cause as little inconvenience as practicable to the defendants. If the court determines upon a petition to widen a private road that there is not sufficiently wide access to utilize the property for the uses permitted by law, then it shall further determine the location at the side or sides of the existing private road of the widening so as to do as little damage or injury and cause as little inconvenience as practicable to the defendants. The court shall then enter an interlocutory order for the establishment or widening of the private road at the location determined by the court. As part of such interlocutory order, the court shall also designate which party or parties shall be responsible for the construction, maintenance and repair of the private road and shall set out the nature and scope of the parties' rights to the use and the enjoyment of the private road. However, the court shall not order the defendants to share responsibility for the construction, maintenance or repair of the private road if, under the court order, the defendants are not granted any rights to the use and enjoyment of the private road, or if any such rights are granted and the defendants waive such rights.

228.355. Commissioners, how appointed — duties — compensation. —
When an order establishing or widening a private road is entered according to section 228.352, the court shall appoint three disinterested citizens of the county where the private road is to be located as commissioners to view the location of the private road and the real property affected and to assess damages to the defendants. Before proceeding to discharge their duties, the commissioners shall take and subscribe an oath, in writing, to be filed with the clerk of the court, to discharge their duties honestly, faithfully and impartially under the order of the court. The commissioners shall notify the parties in writing that on a day specified in the notice the commissioners will view the affected real property. Such notice shall be given at least ten days prior to the day specified for viewing the real property, and the notice shall be served in hand or by registered mail to the last known address of the party to be served or to that party's attorney. After the commissioners view the location of the private road and the real property affected, they shall report to the court and make an assessment of the damages sustained by each defendant. Upon the filing of such report of the commissioners, the clerk of the court shall immediately notify the parties of the filing of the report. The commissioners shall be allowed reasonable compensation for their services to be set by the court and to be taxed as costs.

If any party has filed exceptions to the commissioners' report pursuant to section 228.358, the plaintiffs shall be entitled to use of the private road before judgment is entered and becomes final and appeals, if any, have been exhausted, if the plaintiffs shall have given an appeal bond in such amount as the circuit court deems sufficient to pay the probable damages that plaintiffs will owe plus costs. Otherwise, the plaintiffs shall not be entitled to use of the private road until judgment is entered and becomes final and appeals, if any, have been exhausted and the plaintiffs have satisfied the damage award contained in the judgment. The plaintiffs may voluntarily abandon the proceedings and dismiss the petition at any time prior to satisfaction of the damage award, and if the plaintiffs do not satisfy the damage award within sixty days following the date upon which the judgment becomes final and appeals, if any, have been exhausted, then the proceedings shall be deemed abandoned. In either instance, the circuit court shall retain jurisdiction solely to enter an order vacating the judgment, dismissing the petition, and ordering disposition of the bond, if any. No execution shall issue on the damage award. If the plaintiffs shall have used the private road before judgment has become final and appeals, if any, have been exhausted, and the private road is not, for any reason, established according to the terms of sections 228.342 to 228.368 after final judgment and appeals, the plaintiffs and their sureties shall be liable on their bond for all damages and costs occasioned by such use of the private road. If the petition is voluntarily dismissed after the filing of the commissioners' report or is deemed abandoned, the plaintiffs and the successors and assigns to the real property which was the subject of the petition shall be barred for a period of seven years from the date of the abandonment or dismissal from filing another petition under sections 228.342 to 228.368, for the establishment or widening of a private road over the same or any part of the real property over which the private road was sought in the prior petition.
