Hearing: Petition to Vacate rei County Road No. 64, Short Plat of Cedar Cove; R. H. Mills and Johnston Realty petitioners. Chairman Mercer opened the hearing first reading the recommendation of the County Highway Department which read, because this road serves as access to part of the adjacent plat they recommend that the vacation be denied. Chairman Mercer also read the recommendation from the Planning Department which recommends that the Board of Commissioners take no action on this vacation request, as there is no valid need for the road vacation petition. Chariman Mercer then asked for comments in favor of the vacation. Ray Mills, petitioner requested the Board accept the recommendation of the Planning commission and leave the road the way it was platted and deeded. Mr. Mills went on to explain the reason for the petition to vacate. He wanted the property lines to be where they are deeded now, a 30' right of way for the road. Mr. Mills said last spring he found survey stakes for a 60' easement. Mr. Mills stated that the Engineering Dept. recommended for him to vacate the road to avoid the 60' easement. Chairman Mercer asked if there was any other comments in favor of the vacation. There being no further comments Chariman Mercer asked if there were any comments in opposition of the vaca- tion. One property owner spoke against the vacation mentioning that he would like to see the road at 60'. Ronald Herod spoke against it also. He didn't care if the easement was 60' or 30' but wanted 30' of driving space. Chairman Mercer closed the hearing. Commissioner O'Meara moved to deny vacation and to find the correct width of the road from the State. Com- missioner Brown seconded. Richard Call spoke up against the vacation because the road had too steep of grade for the winter travel. Chairman Mercer asked if there was any more discussion. There being no further discussion Commissioner O'Meara reiterated the motion to deny the vacation and Com- missioner Brown again seconded. A unanimous decision. 13 persons appeared for the hearing.
