Road 222 & 222D maintenance: Several citizens from the Dixie area attended to comment on whether or not roads should be plowed or used for groomed trail.
Bruce Oakes wants to plow road from where county quits plowing road in this area up to his house. Oakes is willing to plow road wide enough for traffic to pass through.
Jerry Coppernoll stated he has maintained roads in Dixie for the county – safety is an issue – he has plowed road in the past on 222D and as snow gets deeper – plowing should cease.
Joe Wright discussed his letter of March, 2007 – snowmobile use of roads are limited according to code – wants county to lift ban on Mr. Oakes plowing of the road – unless an ordinance was passed on designation of road – it doesn’t exist – road maintenance is between forest service and county.
Randy stated county can still restrict plowing of road.
Joe stated this is not a designated snowmobile route – they are not supposed to be on road. Mr. Oakes wants to plow road when he feels it is needed – law allows him to do this.
Pat Holmberg suggested a maintenance agreement with Mr. Oakes.
Decision tabled until October 9, 2007.
