AU 6 6 Wl' BOOK 83 F, -L a 0 - Madeline Kaye, 7840 128th Court, Roseland, came before the Board and noted that she had a copy of her deed with her and also has her survey, which she submitted for the Board to review. Ms. Kaye advised that the reason she blocked off the road was because for 4 months she and the lady who lives with her were harrassed and verbally abused by the people who rented across from them and who were drag racing and revving the motor of their pickup truck, and making rude gestures, using profanity, etc. Their 4 -wheeler actually jumped the barricade. Ms. Kaye advised that since the woman who lives with her has angina and cannot tolerate this kind of upset, she talked to Public Works Director Jim Davis, who verbally gave her permission to close the road. She told him that she would open it after all this was over with. Ms. Kaye further noted that whenever the County comes down to clean the ditch behind her, they will not go on the other side of what they say is a 35' easement to clean the culvert on that side because they say it is her private property; so she wants to know just whose property it is. None of this makes sense to her, and no one is ever in the Code Enforcement Office to answer anything. Ms. Kaye informed the Board that the barricade has been taken away since she heard from Attorney O'Brien, and she would like to have the road maintained. There is no barricade, but she does have posters on her fence because she doesn't need the drag racing. These posters just say "No Trespassing," and these are on her fence, and it is her property. Commissioner Scurlock believed that if the barricade is down, then there is no action being requested of the Board as far as fines, etc., but apparently Ms. Kaye is indicating that she would like some action from the County in regard to maintaining the ditch. Ms. Kaye stated that the ditch alongside of there that they call the right-of-way is only 2J' deep, and she gets flooded from that because she has a pond behind her that is about 60' deep, and she is clearing off the water from everyone's land and then they dug a culvert to drain off from Powerline. Commissioner Scurlock wished clarification. He believed Ms. Kaye barricaded 78th Avenue, and along that road is a ditch; he wished to know if that is the ditch she would like to have cleaned. Ms. Kaye confirmed that it is. Commissioner Bowman believed that ditch is part of the R/W, and Administrator Chandler noted that he was not aware there was a problem with the ditch and would like to take a look at it. Ms. Kaye then referred to the "swale" between Powerline and 128th Court, which runs in the middle of the property line and emphasized that it is not even maintained, and that so-called 22
