PUBLIC HEARING - REQUEST FROM DAVID AND JANET PRICE TO VACATE PORTION OF GIBSON ROAD IN BAKER Mr. Stanford read the advertised legal notice for public hearing to consider the request of David and Janet Price to vacate a portion of Gibson Road in Baker. Mr. Jason Autrey, County Engineer, stated the request is to vacate the southerly % mile of the road. Since submission of the agenda item, objections have been received from citizens. He advised if the Board does approve the vacation request, it will be necessary to retain a utility easement. Mr. David Price, petitioner, stated he owns property on one side of the road and Mr. Dale Gibson owns land on the other side. He explained the problems he has experienced with people racing up and down the road, cutting donuts in his fields, tossing out beer cans, and dumping dead animals. Mr. Bob Walker, Sherman Kennedy Road, submitted a petition signed by 118 peoples opposed to the road vacation. He said Gibson Road is a postal route, school bus route, and trash pickup route. He also stated that he has a note from the postmaster objecting to the road closure. Mr. Walker commented that kids drive crazy everywhere and he believes it is a bad policy to close roads for that reason. He stated that he September 2, 2014 -10- Minute Book 71, Page 243 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners contacted the Sheriff's Office and did not find where Mr. Price had registered any formal complaints since January 1. Mr. Walker also commented the sign posted to notify the public of the hearing was very difficult to read. Upon inquiry by Mr. Harris, Mr. Autrey replied the department will make changes to the notification signs. Mr. Price returned to the podium and stated Mr. Walker has a personal grudge against him. He said he “caught him (Mr. Walker) in my pond fishing,” as well as hunting on his property. Mrs. Phyllis Enzor, 1436 The Crossings in Niceville, stated she owns property in this area, noting she has spoken with Mr. Price and has no objection to the requested closing of the road. Mr. Walker asked to speak again and reported the incident Mr. Price referred to about duck hunting on his property happened 15 years ago. He said he was under the assumption the man he was hunting with had permission from the property owner but said he learned that man was a “bit shady.” Mr. Walker stated he has obtained permission from Mrs. Price to fish in the pond. Mr. Dale Gibson stated when the road is wet, people come from all over to go mudding on the road and have wound up in his yard. He said people come down the road hauling debris to the landfill without covering the loads and trash is blown all along the road. Mr. Gibson pointed out there are only a couple of people living on this portion of the road. Mr. Harris referred to the petition with 118 names and asked Mr. Walker the reason for the objection. Mr. Walker replied the road has been there for 70 years and he likes to ride his bike and run on the road. He commented that it does not make sense to close the road. Mrs. Janet Price, petitioner, remarked that she has nothing against Mr. Walker but the problems her family experiences does not pertain to his life. She said there are many other roads for Mr. Walker to jog on. Mrs. Price stated she has a disabled child and cannot even let him go to check the mail. She pointed out she has lived on this road for 32 years and the kids are tearing up the fields and because they are farmers, that is their livelihood.
