• There has been no modifications to the county right of way that would suggest that this access is being used or is intended to be used as an active driveway, such as "gravel"leveling of the right of way to match the road height. • Nor have I altered or obstructed the drainage ditch within the County Right of Way. • This access point is to be used sparingly, (there is no daily, or regular traffic entering or exiting the property, as would be if it were residential in nature). • There is no damage to the roadway, or right of way, that would indicate regular vehicular traffic at this access point, such as chipped, broke asphalt or rutting. • There are and have never been any vehicles parked or stored on the property that would indicate that there is regular use of this access point for vehicular traffic. 2: This property is agriculturally zoned, and being used solely in that capacity. It is not a residence. The lot has no street address, no dwellings, no utilities, no "private driveways"on the property itself, leading to the access point in question or anywhere else on the property. The current plan for the property is for it to be a 1.2 accer grass field. • Again this access point is not used on a day to day or regular basis, nor was it ever intended to be. As you can see in the photos taken by the inspector who visited the property, grass is growing and there are no ruts, nothing to indicate that vehicles enter and exit the property here regularly. • Should I decide to build a residence on the property, I will have to develop a plan for where the structures will be, placement of the septic tank and leach fields, and water catchment, etc, and of course the best placement of the permanent driveway or driveways. At which point I would submit my building permits,for the structures, septic, etc.. Only then would I be able to know the true and final "driveway, or driveways"locations should be. Installing a paved driveway prior to that plan would be premature. • The Permit Application Form (DPW-33) being asked of me to submit "Acces to a Public Right of Way", addresses only Commercial or Residential properties. This Application form does not account for lots used solely in an agricultural capacity, or simply an access point into lots not commercial and non-residentual.
