Curtis have carports and landscaping extend- ing into the right-of-way and that Mr. Huntley I s rock wall and t1r. VOL 8 01530 . "-,,:,, - . Minutes, Week of July 12, 1982 Page 2 Curtis' steps also infringe on the cul-de-sac. 2)Mr. Pederson has removed a basketball hoop and his landscaping which previously encroached. 3)He anticipates that there will be further development of the area and increased traffic on the cul-de-sac. 4)He rebutted the Fire Chief's recommended solutions to install a "Dead End" sign (this does not prevent vehicles from entering the cul-de-sac, then having difficulty turning around) and to install "No Parking" signs (Mr. Pederson wants his visitors to be able to park in the cul-de-sac). 5)The County has never maintained the right-of-way and could not, at present, do so due to not being able to maneuver equipment in the area. 6)He requested that his neighbors be instructed to remove private improvements which encroach on the right-of-way. Mr. Huntley stated that: I)He did not realize, when the carport was built in 1978, that it extended onto County property. 2)He will, on the Board's instruction, remove the end of the carport but would, of course, prefer not to. 3)The previous owner of his property con- structed a fence, and later the wall, reportedly as an extension of the County property line, and actually cleared and improved the right- of-way at his own expense. 4)He has observed no vehicle having great difficulty turning around in the available space. 5)The County has graded the road. 6)Mr. Huntley requested that an occupation permit (in effect, a lease) allowing them to maintain the current improve- ments until such time as development and/or traffic flow necessitates their removal be granted. Mr. Curtis stated that, according to the map of the area in effect when he bought his property and according to surveys done since that time, his carport is not in the right-of-way. Both Mr. Huntley and Mr. Curtis supported Mr. Pederson's opposition to "No Parking" signs in the cul-de-sac. The County Engineer stated that vehicles parked in the area could obstruct access to emergency vehicles and that it is the standard, statewide, for parking to be restricted on a cul-de-sac unless it is specifically designed for parking. In further discussion, it was agreed that a sign more specific than "Dead End", such as "No Turn-Around Beyond This Point", would be more effective. The County Engineer stated that current County equipment can maneuver within the area at this location, with the infringements in place, and suggested that the situation is not one which requires any remediation at this time. Mr. Pederson then stated that he really didn't think removing the car- ports was necessary, but felt removing landscaping, steps and wall would improve the access and maneuverability in the cul-de-sac. There was additional lengthy discussion, following which the Board's decision was to take no action at this time. /" The attorney accompanying Mr. Curtis asked for, and received, clari- fication that the letters from the Huntley's and Mr. Curtis constituted adequate application for occupation permits but that no decision would be made on their requests at this time.
