Robert E. Bates: Carol Saari reviewed the request., The petitioner wishes to vacate a portion of a ten foot wide alley in Block 5 of Olsen's Addition to Irondale in order to create a larger usable area for construc- ting residential units. Findings made by applicable departments and agencies were reviewed (copy attached to official minutes). Richard Kenyon moved to recommend to the County Commissioners they approve the request for vacation as it meets all the criteria for approving road vacations. Dorithe Harrington seconded the motion and upon a vote it carried with unanimous approval. B. Fred C. Ewards: Carol Saari reviewed the request to vacate the Lone Star Road, 'located approximately three miles northeast of-Quilcene. The road is ten feet wide and one-half mile long. Findings of applicable agencies and departments were reviewed- Three conditions for vacation of approval were also reviewed. (Copy.attached to official minutes.) Fred Edwards, the petitioner, and his wife Judith, explained why they submitted the petition. The road was not recorded on their deed, or on other property owners deeds whose property fronts the road. But the court recently decided that the road is a County road. They said that the road is very hazardous; it is narrow, it has never been maintained, and the terrain is very poor. It is not used by any adjacent property owners except Bayview Industries, located at the end of the road. If the Road were vacated, Bayview Industries could construct a road onto the Dabob Bay Road. Phil Boling of Bayview Industries said a road to the Dabob Bay Road would -1- be impractical due to the terrain. Members discussed whether a road could be constructed from Mr. Boling's property to Dabob Road, as prescribed by the County Engineer. They also discussed the court case declaring the road a County road. Dorithe Harrington moved to withhold taking any action on the petition unttl the Commission could inspect the site. There being no second the motion was not voted on. Finis Stevens moved to table the peititon until more information could be presented, such as whether the County would improve the road. There being no second the motion was not acted upon. Eva Taylor moved to recommend to the County Commissioners they deny the request because on property owner adjacent to the road wishes to continue using the road. Finis Stevens seconded the motion. Upon a vote it carried with four in favor and two opposed, Rick Kenyon and Harry Pollard. Harry Pollard said he opposed the denial because he felt Bayview Industries was taking advantage of it's neighbors. He felt the Commission should take no action to the petition. III.
