JUN 271989 BOOK 77 pm,JAW accomplish the same thing if there were an intergovernmental agreement to hold that easement however wide that may be? Attorney Vitunac agreed that if the Board did adopt that, we would end up with the 50' at least protected, but, in return for that, we would have to have the realignment. Commissioner Eggert wished to know, disregarding the question of the realignment, if we wouldn't come up with some as strong or maybe even stronger to protect the R/W. Attorney Collins noted that an agreement is only as good as the people standing behind it, and if we file the map, it is an established claim. Commissioner Scurlock believed what Commissioner Eggert is asking is if we go ahead and file the map as proposed, then subsequent to that while we are researching the other item, we go into an interlocal agreement with the Town of Orchid that adopts the Management Plan setting those buffers, is that new interlocal agreement far beyond any rights we may have, 50' or smaller. Attorney Collins believed it would be because the Management Plan speaks to a 70' corridor, but that is an agreement; it is not a legal title to the roadbed. Argument continued regarding the best way to proceed, and Commissioner Eggert wished to know why the 50' easement is superior to having both a map and an agreement. Attorney Doty believed if we can establish a 50' R/W that should affect the Board's decision on the next item regarding abandonment and realignment, and that is why they are asking the Board to defer action until more research can be done. Commissioner Scurlock clarified that Mr. Doty's request then would be to go ahead and file the Maintenance Map that we have, writing across the face of it that we are not giving up any rights, and to defer further action on the proposed realignment and abandonment until such time as staff can research and come back to the Board, and Mr. Doty felt that would be reasonable. 22
