PARKSLEY / K-DOCK

Commissioner Pennel brought up the Parksley/K-Dock issue and asked since
Commissioner Strahan has had some time was he ready to make a decision.
Commissioner Strahan noted that he had spoken with the residents working on the
petition and they have indicated they had the cooperation from everyone with the
exception of one, who they were still waiting on.

Commissioner Pennel asked if Commissioner Strahan still didn’t want to approve
the emergency motion and repeated his motion from the Commission Meeting on
7/14/08. Commissioner Strahan commented that he wanted to wait until the petition was
turned in. Commissioner Pennel asked if Commissioner Strahan was working towards
taking the road in for maintenance for here on out. Commissioner Strahan stated yes.

Commissioner Pennel noted that he was against that, that with the exception for
the emergency road the county would be taking on the building of a road out of a goat
trail and reiterated that was the reason he would like to see a one time emergency fix
done.

Commissioner Pennel added that it wasn’t fair to ask other individuals to bring
their roads up to county specifications and not this one. This is to just get emergency
vehicles down the road until the water is down. Commissioner Strahan indicated that he
was not intending on taking in the road where there is no houses, only where the 9 homes
currently are.
 Mr. Preston noted that his concern was that this road was no different than Blue
Ridge; emergency vehicles could not travel that road either. Commissioner Pennel noted
that Blue Ridge residents have another way to their property; Parksley has a lake
preventing the entrance. Commissioner Strahan again stated he would like to check with
Ms. Tucker as they have done a lot of work on the petition.

Phillips contract up 10 minutes due to a funeral. Commissioner Strahan seconded the
