DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE TRACT A WHERE THE OWNER LIVES AND THE EXISTING BARN, COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THE PROPOSED RIGHT-OF- WAY WOULD GO THROUGH THE BARN, AND MR. HOWARD STATED THAT IT WOULD, THE BOARD CONTINUED TO DISCUSS THE ALIGNMENT OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR A BRIDGE OVER THE CANAL, AND COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT THE DRAWINGS PRESENTED BY MR. HOWARD WERE JUST BROUGHT TO THE MEETING TODAY AND, IN LINE WITH OUR SET PROCEDURE, SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESENTED EARLIER SO THE BOARD COULD HAVE A CHANCE TO STUDY THEM. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS NOTED THAT MR. HOWARD RECEIVED THE INFORMATION HIMSELF JUST RECENTLY AND REITERATED THAT WE NEED TO GET RIGHT-OF-WAY DESIGNED IN ORDER TO BUILD A BRIDGE IN.THE FUTURE. HE FELT IF 35' WERE SET ASIDE, IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED WE WOULD BE ASKING THE MAN TO GIVE HIS BARN, TOO. MR, HOWARD STATED THAT THEY COULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO ALLOW AN EASEMENT TO GO ON OVER TO THE CANAL THROUGH THE BARN, IF IT WERE UNDERSTOOD THE BARN WILL REMAIN THERE UNTIL THE ROAD IS BUILT. THE BOARD DID NOT FEEL THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS POINTED OUT THAT WE HAVE NO ACTUAL DESIGN AT THIS TIME AND NEED TO HAVE MORE STUDY TO DETERMINE WHERE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY WILL COME FROM,. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE NUMBER OF PROPERTY OWNERS INVOLVED. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE FOR THE COUNTY AND THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT TO GET TOGETHER AND DECIDE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE A FUTURE BRIDGE AT THIS LOCATION. MR. HOWARD NOTED THAT HIS CLIENT IS EAST OF THE BRIDGE, AND HIS ONLY PROBLEM IS HOW MUCH RIGHT-OF-WAY HE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE. HE REPEATED THAT THEY WOULD GIVE A 35' EASEMENT BUT LEAVE THE BARN UNTIL THE ROAD IS BUILT. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WE WON'T CHANGE THAT SITUATION VERY MUCH AND HE DID NOT FEEL WE COULD ASK FOR MORE FROM THAT PROPERTY OWNER AS LONG AS HE IS WILLING TO GO THROUGH TRACT A TO' THE CANAL. 15 MAR 2 11979
