reasonable and the right idea. I'm just a little bit, I would like to see it a little bit stronger. Could we just say allow access with and then also include managed access? AU: Excuse me, Commissioner Galimba can we just stick to questions first and then we can go into discussion and deliberation after a motion. So, maybe if you just have a question for either staff— GALIMBA: It was a question to him to see if they would consider that, but we can wait. AU: Okay, sorry, I'm sorry for cutting you off, but did the applicant and the team get that question? KNABLE: It's something that, it's tough because we're in a situation where our properties landlocked and we only have access to the property through an easement that's recorded against the adjoining property for access we have. You'll notice by the application we're only focusing on this piece of property because and not improvements in the driveway section or the easement area to the highway because we have no contact with the adjoining landowner. Reservations in our deed don't provide for our ability to grant or create access easements for other purposes other than the current allowable use which is access and utility. Ideally, we wanted to come in and do some improvements within the access easement, but ultimately, we found out that because of the way that the language was written, we don't have those rights. So thus, we don't have the right also as well to grant formal public access. So, we think the way that we're proposing this managed access is something that we're still able to take care of the fishermen. We're basically calling them invitees so they can be invited over the easement area to our property without running into issues with the adjoining landowner. And the idea would be to get into a situation where we would have managed management agreement with either with a local fishing association or even have our own land manager of our choosing kind of manage that. And, quite frankly, Kelly he's coming here, he wants to create a home for his family when they retire, which should be hopefully a few years and he wants to have that relationship with the fishermen. He has friends in the community, he recognizes that it's a very important issue for them and he's committed to making sure that these fishermen have access as long as they want and as long as they're able to kind of adhere to some of the rules that would be setting up to ensure the liability protection that he needs. I hope that helps to answer your question. GALIMBA: Thank you, that context is really helpful, and I do really appreciate how thorough your work is in writing this all up. It's really excellent. KNABLE: I appreciate that. GALIMBA: Yeah. KNABLE: We have a good team. 7 EXHIBIT B
