Y:01136 the west side of section line road owned by Steve Clark. If Steve Clark wants the fence on the east side of the section moved by the County, he will have 1 year from this date to decide. Arnold questioned why this project was not included in the 1 &6 Road Program for this year. Jim Eriksen thanked Jerry Janulewicz for his work questioned the last sentence about moving the fence at the county's expense. Hartman stated that the committee agreed to move the fence to satisfy the property owner. Steve Clark was present and he stated he had not talked to anyone concerning the information that was in the committee recommendation. He questioned if the county has the land dedication petitions for the property. He wanted to know if he would be donating the land to the county. He questioned if it was mandatory for a school route when it is a dead end road. The land is torn up now because it has been used to access the property. He stated he only met with Hartman and Jeffries once and expressed his concern that the condition of the road will only get worse as spring comes. He also wanted to know why they did not look at building the road from the south. Jerry Janulewicz researched the territorial statutes and under Section 24-77 it allowed the road to be dedicated to the state free of charge and Hall County took advantage of that when they adopted the Road Act in 1873. Logan questioned if the county would need to hold a public hearing to address all of the landowners. Janulewicz stated that he spoke to the Board of Classifications and Standards and the road cannot be left as a minimum maintenance road it must be classified as a local road and if it is rebuilt it would have to be brought up to standards. The current road is not on the section line and it is only 51 feet wide and a county road must be 66 feet.
