RYMER AND GERALD A.YOUNG, WHO ARE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS TO THESE EASEMENTS. THERE IS A 20 FOOT EASEMENT ABUTTING THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE OF LOTS 9 AND 26 ANDA 40 FOOT DEDICATED COUNTY PARK ABUTTING THESE EASEMENTS. THE BOARD DISCUSSED THEIR POLICY OF NOT ABANDONING EASEMENTS BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF A COUNTYWIDE SEWER AND WATER SYSTEM BEING CONSTRUCTED, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PARKS ABUTTING THESE PROPERTIES, THIS -WOULD BE A DIFFERENT SITUATION. MRS. RYMER, OWNER OF LOT 9 APPEARED AND STATED THAT' SHE MAINTAINS THE 20 FOOT EASEMENT AND THE COUNTY MAINTAINS THE PARK, BUT THE PARK IS NOT MAINTAINED PROPERLY AND BECOMES AN EYE SORE. MRS. RYMER CONTINUED THAT'THERE IS A DRAINAGE SWALE DOWN THIS 20 FOOT EASEMENT AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN, AND IF THE BOARD APPROVES THE RELEASE OF EASEMENT OF THIS 20 FOOT EASEMENT THE DRAINAGE SWALE COULD BE RELOCATED DOWN THE CENTER OF THE ABUTTING PARK AT HER EXPENSE, AND SHE WOULD MAINTAIN THAT PORTION OF THE PARK ABUTTING HER PROPERTY, MR. YOUNG, OWNER OF LOT 26, DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM LOT 9, APPEARED AND STATED THAT HE NOW MAINTAINS THE 20 FOOT EASEMENT AND THE 40 FOOT PARK AND IS REQUESTING THE RELEASE OF THE 20 FOOT EASEMENT IN ORDER TO PUT IN A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY. IF THE BOARD RELEASES THIS EASEMENT HE STATED HE WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE PARK. THE- DRAINAGE SWALE IS LOCATED DOWN THE CENTER OF THE PARK. THE BOARD DISCUSSED REFERRING THESE TWO REQUESTS TO THE COUNTY CONSULTING ENGINEERS FOR THEIR INVESTIGATION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT RELEASING THESE EASEMENTS WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE COUNTY'S FUTURE PLANS, THE BOARD AGREED THAT THE SWALE DITCH BE MOVED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND AT THE EXPENSE OF THE PROPERTY OWNER MRS.
