WEBSTER RESUBDIVISION: ALLEY ENCROACHMENT.
Public Works Director Widmer advised Town Attorney White had
completed his research concerning the legal access for the west
end. of the alley connecting to Big Horn Drive and the northeast
end of the 10' road connecting to Virginia Drive. In summary,
Town Attorney White stated (1) the alley and 10' road are ded-
icated and owned by the town; and. (2) the access from Big Horn.
Drive is a public road through adverse possession; however, the
town. does not own the access. The town's involvement in this
matter is due to Kenneth C. Baylis requesting all encroachments
on said alley be removed. Mr. Baylis does, however, have access
to the north and south of his property. Should Mr. Baylis need a
dedicated access for financial purposes, the matter would be
considered. by the legal court system not the town. Following
discussion, the committee recommends the town take no further
action, advising the affected property owners, in writing, of the
town's decision.
