Subject: Fwd: Resolution to allow private landowners to use gravel from Cp `
rcl
y'owned gravel pit to
improve roads +� UN I
Dear Council Members,
I oppose the resolution for a number of reasons:
1. Many of these roads in limbo have not been surveyed. It would be inappropriate and
risky for the County to cooperate with private parties in making improvements to property
which may belong to persons other than the County.
2. Persons who improve these roads may feel they have the right to exclude others from
using these roads. These roads must remain public and should not be blocked or gated.
3. Because the roads are public, the public has liability for these roads, yet there would
be no public oversight as to the safety of the private improvements to these roads, the
potential damage that construction of roads might cause neighboring property owners and
the environment.
Our Roads in Limbo should be surveyed to determine their exact locations, and
evaluated for their potential public use as vehicular or recreational right -of -ways and for
the environmental consequences of improving these roads.
Aloha,
Karen B. Clarkson
