BAYLES PROOF OF PUBLICATION IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed the memorandum using a location map and an aerial photograph to show streets and surrounding areas. This request came about as a result of a code enforcement case which prohibited long-term parking of an RV and a boat on this unpaved right-of-way segment. The applicant has requested this abandonment in order to legally store his boat and RV on the subject property by creating a private driveway and parking area. Staff recommended this abandonment with conditions related to drainage and utilities and a provision for Public Works to access the canal for maintenance purposes on 24-hour notice. Director Boling responded to several questions from the Commissioners concerning the original Rockridge Plat, the code enforcement infraction and procedure, and access to the canal by other Rockridge residents. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. David Krumbhaar, 260 14"' Street, who lives a few houses away, was concerned about how the property will look and who will maintain it.
