Mr. Thornton,
Thank you for reaching out today to resolve any concerns raised by adjacent property owners. As I indicated in the
initial email of February 20th, my intent is to let the County use the easterly spur road that goes north onto my
property to utilize for heavy equipment turning around, include fire engines, without any disruption to the southern
property, 421 Mumby Rd, specifically their pavers at the entrance of their driveway. I already moved the log
northward to accommodate and am more than happy to grant an easement to the county of the proper size
needed.
Thanks in advance and please let me know of the parameters and documentation required.
Take care,
From: James Burnell <burnell.law@gmail.com>

Subject: Upcoming Road Work
Greetings and hope the New Year is serving everyone well.
This email is meant to provide courtesy notice that I recently met with Joshua Thornton and will be
commencing the vacating of an additional 184 feet at the end of Mumby road which lies entirely on my
property. This portion of the road only serves 622 and 624 Mumby Rd and ends west of the entrance to
421 Mumby Rd (Captain). This will provide more privacy for my properties and specifically prevent
multiple vehicles turning around directly north of 421 at my current merge with the chain. This will also
prevent vehicles that are directed to the Vacasa at 564 Mumby Rd (Dunn) from coming all the way down
to my house at any given time day or night. I anticipate this process to go quite smooth and relatively
quickly as it enhances the neighborhood and doesn't affect circulation within the properties. There will
also remain ample room for lost vehicles to turn around on a spur road on my property just east of the
entrance to 421. Mr. Thornton and I also discussed putting back a sign potentially right at the intersect ion
of Mumby Rd and the driveway feeding 546 with a county "No Turn Around Past Here". This sign used to
exist until recently right near all our mailboxes.
Thanks in advance, hope to see everyone this spring and summer.
Take care out there
