Commissioner Solari asked County Engineer Chris Kafer whether staff foresaw any <br />needs over the next several years, for cutting down the trees and for lot filling, or whether he <br />thought the property should be left natural and be developed slowly. Mr. Kafer responded that <br />he would hate to see the property denuded, and there was no reason to do the cut and fill now; <br />however, as homes are built, there may be some ponding onto the undeveloped sites. <br />Commissioner Wheeler, who had viewed the subject property, did not want to see it <br />become an eyesore, such as a desert -like site he had seen at U.S.1 and CR 510. He wondered <br />whether the Letter of Credit could be set aside and reinstituted when the property is ready to be <br />developed, so the County would have a secure agreement with the developer. <br />Attorney Collins questioned why the County has the Lot Fill Agreement and Letter of <br />Credit, and could not think of another subdivision where there have been contracts to fill lots. <br />He noted that it must have something to do with the drainage requirements. <br />Administrator Baird remarked that, based upon the professional opinions of Jim Davis <br />and Chris Kafer, the Letter of Credit is probably not necessary; however, some type of <br />agreement might be necessary as the property is developed. <br />Mr. Foster divulged that aside from the four existing lot owners, the remainder of the <br />property would be developed by professional builders, and he did not see drainage problems <br />resulting from building a house next to a private lot. <br />Chairman Davis wanted to see the trees kept on the property for as long as possible. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher to <br />allow the Letter of Credit to expire, and to direct legal <br />staff to work out a Developer's Agreement on any <br />17 <br />June 23, 2009 <br />
