Road 76 access will remain open. Mr. Hall replied that it is a private matter between the Town of
Windsor and the property owner. Bob Choate, County Attorney, said that having an access at that
location, if its been used for the last 40 years, is a property interest. He added that the Town can
exercise jurisdictional control subject to a property interest. Mr. Choate agreed that this is a private
issue between the landowner and the Town of Windsor; however he would be surprised if the Town
could unilaterally just close it.
