FUJIKAWA:Go ahead.
<br />WHITMYER:Im very sorry Ive never talked in front of a large group, so bear
<br />with me. The thing thats really a problem is, this is where we live, is basically in this
<br />area. And we were supposed to have easement up to the highway at this point. The
<br />original plans for this subdivision that they made in the 60s, as I understand it, was that
<br />we would have entrance to Old Government Road, but we would have an easement
<br />through these other properties here to the highway. So, at some point, we built a cement
<br />road that went up here and connected with another road that was a driveway for some
<br />other property, and we were able to access the highway. So we could come in here and
<br />go out that way. There were two entrances or exits to every, however you wanted to do
<br />it. But, it actually made it pretty livable. Well, these people here have some fairly nice
<br />houses and stuff, and they didnt want anybody driving through their property so they
<br />started to lock a gate and then they put boulders up on the road. Then we went to court
<br />anddidallkindsofbattles;andeventuallywewerentabletouseanyofthisexitover
<br />here anymore. So now everybody has to come in and go out of this property here. And
<br />what theyre proposing is, if they get all this approved and if they get all this approved
<br />and if, if, if, and one of these days were going to do a road from here, and then maybe
<br />down into here, and then maybe even connect here. Its all maybe stuff. Thats what
<br />ridiculous. It shouldnt be any maybe stuff. Build a road here, build a road here, connect
<br />it, give us proper authority to use it, you know, to where we can go in and come out, and
<br />theres a road for everybody can use it, and everything is fine. I could care less what they
<br />do. Theyre going to do all that eventually. You know theyre going to do it, I know
<br />theyre going to do it, thats the way the world is.
<br />But what theyre proposing, as I understand it, weve been threatened that if we dont go
<br />along with all this, hes just going to bring his trucks down Government Road and work
<br />on his property here, and build it, and do whatever hes going to do. And after this road
<br />is totally destroyed, one of these days hell probably have a nice entrance out here, you
<br />know, better entrance. We might not normally, we may never be able to use this. And
<br />the reason that I feel that way is because weve already been there before. This isnt
<br />maybe. Its not maybe an accident happens up here, weve had a woman killed. Its not
<br />maybe were going to have a problem with, you know, letting them use our, letting us use
<br />their entrance and exit. Weve already had those problems before. Weve already spent
<br />the money, and been to the attorneys, and all the poor planning, and all that. Were just
<br />tired of all that. Youre talking about 10 families in here. And we have one, I dont
<br />know how many there are, actually, but, you know, we have this one little bitty road to go
<br />in and out of; and after theyre through doing what theyre going to do, they could care
<br />less about this. Well have absolutely no way in the world that we would be able to make
<br />them do something with this road in the future. And if they dont allow access right here,
<br />were never going to have an opportunity ever again to improve our entrance and exit to
<br />all of these properties in here and all this area down in here. Itll never happen. So Im
<br />hoping theyll do something about it right now.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Any other questions, Commissioners?
