Access Site Inventory <br />Application Summary: Mr. Hanson requests vacation of a portion of unimproved Meta-Comet <br />A venue and a lot area variance. <br />Background <br />The portion ofright of way Mr. Hanson wishes vacated is surrounded by Mr. Hanson's property and <br />does not extend to the lake. <br />At the public hearing John Eiden, the owner of 330 Big Island, objected to the vacation as it would <br />close off access to the "beach" at the lake end of Meta-Comet A venue. He also indicated he had been <br />told the right of way extended to the lake. In 2000 the places on Big Island where rights of way <br />extended to the lake were inventoried as part of the review of a request by an inland property owner to <br />place a dock at one of them. At that time there were no surveys of 340 or 3 50 to show the location of <br />the Massasoit Avenue or Meta-Comet Avenue in relation to the OHW. On most maps it appeared that <br />they extended to the lake, but the inventory notes that 1887 and 1922 plats show a platted lot between <br />the lake and Massasoit and Meta-Comet Avenues. (See Exhibit H.) Mr. Hanson's survey, the survey <br />submitted in conjunction with the vacation of Massasoit Avenue, and the County Surveyor's maps all <br />show this lot. At its closest point Meta-Comet Avenue is 38 feet from the OHW. The "beach" is <br />private property.
