Road needs maintenance

It comes in life when the old saying goes When The Fat Lady Sings It's Over and the fat lady song today
 
My name is Edward Scott Elder and I live at 198 Champion Drive Chipley Florida 32428. Even though my address reflects Chipley I live in what is called North Quail Hollow way in the back of Buckhorn Creek. Our what you call subdivisions is is a unrecorded Plat the Plat was made to the best of my knowledge in the early 1990's when most of all the Tracts where sold the roads where stop being maintain by the owner until 1998 when the County of Washington started to take them over , ever road was taken over but my road I have tryed in the past to have something done not for the sake of the road but for the Safety of the people who live on the road but the County still declines to do anything for it's PRIVATE.
 
If that is the reason they why can the Commissioner of District 4 go out and FIX three pieces of PRIVATE PROPERTY at my and other tax payers expense one was on Ledger Road one was one Orange Hill Road and now on Pine Oaks Lane. All of these property's where done after the fact that one of our Commissioner was shone for fixing a driveway which the BOCC agreed not to do this again without consent from all the other Commissioners first which I believe it is in the minutes of one of there meetings.We where told by the U.S.P.S , UPS , Fedex and Waste Management the condition of our road would be damaging to there vehicles and safety to there drivers and our road is undeliverable when our electric company comes out to repair poles or lines they get stuck and tear up the road our fire company trucks will get stuck if they go down our road what will happen if I need EVAC for my wife who has a heart condition will she DIED ? if I was leaving because of a wild fire and if the fire company and the Department of Forestry where coming down the road one of us would have to back up to let one in or out.
 
About three years ago I had a Commissioner come out to look at my road he did help us it took 7 yes 7 dump truck loads of fill to fill in three holes in the first 1/8 of a mile of my road.And here is my last comment if the Sheriff or fire company or EVAC can not get to me or my neighbors and one is a 63 year old women who then is responsible for our SAFETY of us or PROPERTY if nobody can get to us.
