Attny, Bill Howard, will draft a letter of response. Bill Bonaudi and Al Katch came to the Board to express their satisfaction with the Boards efforts toward the establishment of the Griffith Point Road. The Board briefly explained where they stand with the road at this date. Ray Mills appeared before the Board regarding the Road Vaca- tion in the Short Plat of Cedar Cove that was denied by the Board in last weeks hearing. David Goldsmith, planner, reported to the Board the actual easement recorded on the State Map for the County Road #64 at Cedar Cove Short Plat is 60'. Mr. Mills said when the property was purchaced it was plotted a 29' to 50' easement. Goldsmith said that some kind of action should be taken-to resolve this. Mr. Mills suggested vacating road down to the plotted property lines. The road needs to be defined on the upper edge of lot #4. Commissioner 0' Meara moved to continuedi$cussion after more information is available, Commissioner Mercer seconded. The Board agreed VOL 4 fAG~ 01828 ~ Minutes of September 18, 1978 Page 2 to vacate portions of the road up to the property lines. However, the legal discription for the 30' right of way will have to be defined before the order of vacation can be signed by the Board. Commissioner Mercer brought attention to the question asked by Mr. Mills last week about the responsibility of the publication fees. Ed Becker, County Engineer, told the Board that he had told the applicant that a vacation was a way to solve his problem and to eliminate the 60' easement. But, according to the hearing, the road was essential, thus could not be vacated. Concerning the road's condition, Mr. Becker recommended Cedar Cove repair damages to the road caused by the water system; to allow 30' access, and allow property owners usage up to the 30' access. Commissioner O'Meara added, due to the fact that on the minutes of September 11, 1978, the vacation for the road was denied, a new petition should be made for the partial vacation for 30' right of way. Approval of Minutes: The Board approved the minutes of August 21 & August 28,1978, as corrected. Mrs. Howard, representing the ceramic group in Chimacum, spoke with the Board about the funding for the ceramic class. She said that for about the last 5 years they were funded by the Recreation Department and now the funding was taken away. Mrs. Howard added that she talked with Mr. Olsen, Chimacum School Superintendent, and he said that he didn't particularly want a class on the school grounds that wasn't adequately sponsered. Mrs. Howard said that without the Rec. Depts. support, the class would fold. The Board told Mrs. Howard that the County cannot fund the class for the balance of 1978 due to lack of funds. Commissioner O'Meara suggested that the group go without an instructor for the remainder of the year and only have someone in charge. Mrs. Howard felt that without an instructor they wouldn't be learning anything, just doing the same thing over again. Commissioner O'Meara said that something may be able to be set up in the budget after the first of the year if they can operate with- out an instructor until then. Commissioner O'Meara asked if the club was open for more people? Mrs. Howard said that there was seating for only so many and if they wanted to stand that would be fine. Mrs. Howard suggested the club could have a ceramic sale and contribute money toward the payment of the instructor.
