<br />and prioritize which roads should be paved and which ones should be maintained. The possibility <br />of accessing Mr. Brian Davis’ property off the Sebastian Water Control District right-of-way, if <br />that is an option, may be the best result for all parties. <br />st <br />Brian Davis <br />, 9255 141 Avenue, referred to a recent survey which depicts the <br />roadway going down through the section line. He gave copies to the Commissioners (copy is filed <br />in the backup in the Office of the Clerk to the Board) and Chairman Ginn requested that Mr. Davis <br />turn the survey over to our attorney. <br />County Attorney Collins responded to questions of the Commissioners and <br />suggested that Mr. Davis speak to Mr. Bass about getting a key should Graves Brothers decide to <br />lock the gate. <br />Ralph Lindsey <br />, who has lived in Indian River County since 1946, recounted that <br />the County graded the road until the 1970’s. It was his understanding at that time that the road was <br />th <br />owned and maintained by the County. In the 1980’s, he graded the road from 69 Street up to CR <br />510 and Wesley Davis’ father-in-law would grade the road from time-to-time on the weekends. In <br />1998, Mr. Lindsey got rid of the grader and the grading of the road stopped. He just recently sold <br />the grove he started in 1976 to Graves Brothers and Marvin Carter researched the abstracts Mr. <br />Lindsey provided (in connection with that sale). Mr. Carter told him the County purchased the <br />Mr. Lindsey <br />right-of-way for $900 in 1930. recounted some of his memories of having served on <br />the County’s Board of Adjustment and Agricultural Committee. <br />In response to Commissioner Lowther, Public Works Director James Davis stated <br />he had checked but his department’s records on road grading did not go that far back. <br />County Attorney Collins advised that he had worked with Property Appraiser <br />David Nolte yesterday afternoon because the faxed letter alleged that Graves Brothers has been <br />paying taxes on the road. He pointed out this history has been buried for decades and they are <br />working to uncover it all in a couple of weeks. <br />Chairman Ginn suggested Brian Davis get together with County Attorney Collins. <br /> <br /> <br />April 20, 2004 <br />20 <br /> <br />
