This ten foot right-of-way is platted between lots 23 and 24 of Olympus Beach Tracts to provide access to the beach. The Board direl_ted that adjacent property owners be notified of this action when it was discussed on March 14, 1988. The owner of Lot 24 and the adjacent 1tidelandS (to the. south of this easement) have responded that they a e against having t,.,hiS walkway opened because of possible vandalism to their property. . Gary Rowe further rep rted that it was found during a site inspection that the grade of th~ ground in this area is acceptable for a trail: the adjacent property~1 owners appear to be using the ten foot easement as part of their yard ; there is no timber and very little brush on the easement; the applica t is not one of the adjacent property owners; and the north line of t e easement has b,een surveyed. The tidelands adjacent to this ease ent were owned by the State when this plat ~s originally developed. Over the years however, the State has sold various portions of t delands to adjacen~ property owners. The vandalism concern as well as the Co~ty's role in opening rights- of-way were discussed. Pat Thompson stated that about 200 feet north of this easement ther is another easement granted to allow people to walk across the tidel ds owned by the adjacent property owners. Gary ROWe reported that th Prosecuting Attorney has advised in right-of-way matters that the pu lic has the righ:t to use any dedicated public right-of-way. The Co nty can put conditions on the use of the right- of-way to minimize p tential liability, . such as requiring a specific type of surface on th walkway, and mar~ing the easement in such a way that the borders are bvious, etc. Commissioner George Brown moved to table action on thi application for two weeks to allow the Public Works Department to d velop standards that the right-Of-way would have to meet before it i opened. They will also notify the adjacent property owner who s landscaped the easement that he will have to remove the landscapi g that is blocking the public access. Commis- sioner Dennison secon ed the motion. The motion passed by a unanimous vote. Elaine Braun asked w y she would be expected to bear the cost of the work necessary to ope this right-of-way? Gary Rowe reported that the person requesting tha a road right-of-way be opened bears the respon- sibility for it, but once it's opened then it is open for use by the public. The discuss on continued regarding the right-of-way and what it means to open it. Commissioner Dennison clarified that the public can use this right-o -way even if it is not opened formally through this application pro ess, however there is a danger of trespassing on private property if t e easement it not well defined.
