(To) Franklin County Commissioners: Tom Wilson, Tom Linkel and Gerald Wendel
Subject: (In Franklin County) alleged road from County Line Road to Rt. 1, either County Line Road or the Fabricated Off-Set Rd.
NO ACTION
Should be taken until Surveyor’s Report completed and Recorded and the obvious conflict between when property transferred and NO mention of County Line Rd. or the Fabricated Off-Set Rd. for 80 acres Book 86 Page 434 and the latest 1 yr before John Wilhelm’s deed with the Fabricated Off-Set Rd. See Guardian deed Book 108 Page 853. Mr. Wilhlem and 3 others received unrestricted transfer of South Half of SW Quarter of Section 35. NO mention of County Line Rd. Or the Fabricated Off-Set Rd. Remember any Real Estate interest MUST be recorded in the Franklin County recorder’s office!
Also the proposed way is blocked an Easement obtained or property Condemned, on West side the sign showing doesn’t say “Road Closed” it says “No Outlet” Probably because of the deed(s) in question!
All surveyors should answer in writing!
I am making ready to file complaint’s with the Surveyor’s Licensing Board in regard to lack of professional research and handling of this matter. Mr Bailey, Mr Seig, and Mr. Kraus.
I spoke personally with G. Bailey County surveyor?, who admitted not searching in Recorder’s office, failed to consult whether any claims had been made under Highway Acts of 1867 and especially Highway Act of 1905! Then tried to convince me a Black line on an unrecorded county road map, was a road linking county Line Rd. with Rt. 1. That black line extends all the way to Chappelow Ridge Rd., Nothing more than a black line part of the Unrecorded map.
Who has made a “Legal” determination that County Line Rd. And the Fabricated Off-Set Rd. are one and the same?
There should be a premilinary engineer’s estimate to construct this road, it is nothing but a dirt path thru the woods! I walked from Rt. 1 on the until visual sight of the “NO OUTLET” sign on County line Rd, I dug a thin blade knife 8-10 inches into the dirt & mud searching for evidence of a roadbase, I found none anywhere, just dirt & mudholes & down trees crossing my path. A road has to be constructed! There is NOTHING to improve, at what cost to taxpayers for a private road for John Wilhelm to enable him to sell “COMERCIAL” property at a high price.
NO ACTION by Commissioners until the issue abve addressed except delay until proper surveys recorded.
I would appear in person (at commissioners meeting) but because of COVID concerns!
I’m Sure the Commissioners Wish to avoid a Taxpayer’s suit in regard to use of public funds for a private rd. Construction for a person not residing in this county!
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Harry D. Graves (Franklin County resident)
Well Mr Graves is very thorough.
