Decision request to delay the decision by Schwab’s – Skip asked if it is possible to find a different access to his property. James R. before building a road through someone’s front yard – also looking at a different access – he is in favor of delaying a decision Frank Loughran – Schwab property belongs to his aunt & uncle in the 50’s and 60’s – there is another access by the school house – access is on John McLeans property – no permission was given by John, so no the commissioners did not see this access Skip asked if Jason Schwab is interested in trading location for another access – Jason will work this out with McLean and return to the commissioners at 1:00 p.m. on July 20, 2010. Mel McLean asked if hay can be hauled off this road for the present time – commissioners agreed this is not a good road to haul hay. Jason is not in favor of giving access through his front yard to haul hay. James Rockwell asked if Mel could call his brother to gain access just for this season. Skip is now calling John McLean. History of this road discussed between the people attending. Tony Schwab stated their lawyer would like to present the proposals. James Rockwell stated a third party should be involved – Kirk agreed. This way the old road could be abandoned and the new road will provide access to McLean’s property – this does not mean county will build or maintain road – this could also be declared a private road. Mel requested that he wants a decision made in two weeks. Kirk stated that if John allowed Mel to use this access for this haying season – it would not affect the decision of the commissioners. John McLean refused to give access to his brother Mel McLean. James Rockwell voted to postpone the decision and McLean look for another access – if McLean chooses to drive this road and run through the spring that runs across this road and destroys the Schwab property – then there will be a law suit.

James made motion to extend this hearing for 2 weeks and Mel has the right to use the road that was surveyed by Elaine Pearson.
