COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE ROAD, <br />AND MR. SCONYERS STATED THAT THEY JUST HIRED THE FIRM TO DO THE WORK <br />AND PAID THEM AND DID NOT QUESTION THEM. <br />ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS FELT IT WAS THE DEVELOPERS RESPONSI- <br />BILITY TO SEE THAT THE ROADS AND DRAINAGE WERE DONE PROPERLY. HE <br />REITERATED -THAT BOTH ENGINEERS HAVE TOLD HIM THAT THEY WERE NOT'CHARGED <br />WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUPERVISING THE WORK, AND THE PROBLEM IS <br />THAT NO ONE WAS CHARGED WITH FOLLOWING THROUGH. IF THE DEVELOPERS DID <br />NOT DO IT, THEN IT WAS NOT DONE. <br />MR. REDISH INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE CONTRACTED WITH TRODGLEN <br />FOR P ROADS, BUT FELT OVER FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.THE THICKNESS COULD VARY <br />IN DIFFERENT SPOTS. <br />ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT IF GRADING TESTS HAD BEEN <br />DONE AS REQUIRED TODAY, THIS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED ATTORNEY COLLINS WHAT POSITION THE <br />COUNTY SHOULD TAKE. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THE PRIME BENEFIT OF THE DISCUSSION HELD <br />TODAY WAS TO BRING OUT THE PROBLEMS. HE STATED THAT THE COUNTY HAS A <br />RESPONSIBILITY TO DETERMINE THAT THE COUNTY REGULATIONS AT THAT TIME <br />WERE COMPLIED WITH, AND HE BELIEVED THE ADMINISTRATOR HAS INDICATED <br />THAT THEY WERE. HE NOTED THAT IF THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE DRAINAGE <br />AND ROAD, THAT IS BETWEEN THE DEVELOPERS AND THE CONTRACTORS AND THEY <br />WILL HAVE TO RESOLVE IT ON THEIR OWN. <br />MR. DRITENBAS MADE REFERENCE TO A CASE INVOLVING A SUBDIVISION <br />DEVELOPED BY MR. PALISANO IN THIS SAME TIME PERIOD WHERE THE BOARD <br />REQUIRED THAT THE ENGINEERS GO BACK AND MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS ALTHOUGH <br />THEY WERE NOT SET OUT IN THE REGULATIONS. <br />ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS AGREED THAT WE HAVE HAD REGULATIONS <br />OF ONE FORM OR ANOTHER SINCE 1955, AND THEY HAVE ALL LED UP TO WHAT WE <br />Yt HAVE TODAY. HE NOTED THAT MR. PALISANO HAD A MUCK POND AND A VERY <br />CRITICAL SITUATION. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT SEVERAL THINGS BOTHERED <br />HIM. AT THAT TIME PERIOD THE COUNTY CERTIFICATION HAD NOTHING TO DO <br />WITH WHETHER OR NOT THE DEVELOPER PUT IN ANYTHING PROPERLY, NOR IS THERE <br />AN ENGINEER IS CERTIFICATE. THAT IS HOW WE OPERATED THEN, AND IT WAS <br />DEC 6 1978 <br />r <br />
