road. Previous administrations accommodated the. land- <br />owners along this road by realigning it to facilitate <br />the development of their property. The map shows the <br />1920 road following the south and west side .of govt. <br />lot 3 in the Town of Orchid instead of the east and <br />north where the present road goes. This is a difference <br />of dcne-half mile.!Then, north of the city limits of <br />Orchid, the 1920 road goes north a distance of one-half <br />mile through govt. lots 8 and between lots 4 & 5, then <br />goes west for a distance of 990 feet. All of this adds <br />up to one mile and 990 feet out of a four -mile stretch <br />of road. Hardly minor! The proposed realignment will <br />not have a fraction of the impact that those previous re- <br />alignments had on the users of this road, but everybody <br />has managed to live with them for many, many years with- <br />out any apparent harm or detrimental effect. <br />Last but not least, this new alignment will have <br />all native vegetation on both sides of the road.

He contended that the developers are using that <br />very Management Plan to turn it around and get what they want, <br />and he found all this very upsetting. The Commission pledged its <br />support to put this Trail on the National Register, but today <br />they have indicated just the opposite, and, in fact, he senses <br />tremendous resistance. Mr. MacConnell begged the Board to listen <br />to the people because he felt that it doesn't seem to be getting <br />through to them what the people want. <br />John Dean, concerned citizen and architect, next came before <br />the Board. He noted that early in the meeting, many hours ago, <br />it was said that the P&Z did vote on the realignment. His point <br />JUN �"".. �'� <br />7 198 8 3 mu � � F.�UE �,1 <br />
