Hearing: petition for Vacation of County Road reo Portion of County Road No. 20 Lying West of the East Quilcene Road; Florence E. McDonald, petitioner. Chairman Mercer read letter from the Planning Com- mission which recommended the Board take no action on the proposed vacation for the following reasons: 1) The petition does not contain ten (10) sig- natures of freeholders as prescribed by R.C.W. 36.86; and 2) Tract 1 (William Taylor and Dan Evans, owners) would not have legal access if the petition as requested was approved. Chairman Mercer then read the recom- mendation from the County Dept. of Highways. They recommended that this vacation be granted because of the steep terrain making the right of way impractical for vehicle access to Tax Lot #9. No one appeared to speak for or against the proposed road vacation. Commissioner O'Meara moved to delay the petition until access is determinded for tract #1. Commissioner Brown seconded. Unanimous.

They consist of minor widening, curve easing and saftey improve- ments. Construction will start at Brinnon and go south of the Duckabush River including replacement of the Dosewallips Bridge. Commissioner Mercer discussed the Emergency Parking signs at Brinnon. He was assured that the signs weren't just seasonal and would remain there all year round. Stan Lorecki appeared before the Board to complain of a grader grading on his property more than from the property on the other side of the road. Mr. Lorecki felt that the reason for this was a stump in the way preventing the grader from grading fairly. Commissioner Brown commented that the existing road was not on the actual right of way but, simply an old driveway. Engineer Becker said that the road was on the 6 year road improvement program. ~ VOl 4 r~r.: . 01860 ... .
