Viewing of Public Way Known as Milestone/Old South Road Bicycle Path Connector. Donald and Gertrude
Holdgate expressed their concerns regarding the connector path being too close to property owned by
them and other family members. Mr. Holdgate was specifically concerned about a loss of privacy in the
backyards of various properties. Mr. Vorce submitted a letter that was written to the Commissioners by
Attorney Joe Guay, who represents the Holdgate families. Mr. Vorce noted that the letter states the
Holdgate families would grant voluntary easements for the Old South bicycle path if the Commissioners
agree to implement changes to the design of the Connector bike path. Mr. Murphy moved to agree to the
conditions of said letter, dated December 7, 2004; seconded by Mr. Soverino. So voted unanimously.
Mr. Murphy moved that the County send a thank you letter to Mr. and Mrs. Holdgate for the easements they
have granted for the Old South Road bicycle path; seconded by Mr. Watts. So voted unanimously.
Viewing of Old South Road Bicycle Path. The Commissioners and staff proceeded to four areas that were
the subject of easement takings. Mary Ann Egan, owner of 72 Old South Road, was present and stated her
reasons for not granting a voluntary easement. Ms. Egan stated she has no objection to the County taking
the easement.
There being no further business before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 1:27 PM.
Approved the 9th day of February 2005.
