SENIOR PLANNER MARSH REPORTED THERE IS AN EXISTING FRONT SWALE, AND FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD HAVE A MECHANISM, OR GIVE SOME DIRECTION TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, FOR FUTURE DEVELOPERS TO PUT IN REAR SWALES IN THE SUBDIVISION. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED HE THOUGHT THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD PROVIDE THEIR OWN DRAINAGE. ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT IF THE COUNTY FELT HAVING A REAR SWALE SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT PRIOR TO RELEASING THE EASEMENT, THEN IT SHOULD BE DONE. HE POINTED OUT WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS A PROBLEM: THIS IS THE FIRST PRIVATE SUBDIVISION THAT HAS COME BEFORE THE BOARD FOR RELEASE OF EASEMENT. HE DEFINED "PRIVATE SUBDIVISION" - WHERE THE EASEMENTS AND ROADWAYS ARE NOT DEDICATED TO THE PUBLIC. THE ATTORNEY THOUGHT PROBABLY TO TOTALLY RELEASE THE EASEMENT, CONSENT WILL HAVE TO BE OBTAINED FROM EACH OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION; AND CONSENT FROM THE COUNTY ALSO. HE WANTED TO BE SURE THE MINUTES REFLECT THAT TITLE MAY NOT BE SATISFACTORILY CLEARED JUST BY THE COUNTY RELEASING ANY INTEREST IT MAY HAVE, MR. MARSH COMMENTED THAT TO BE SURE IT IS CLEAR AND TOTALLY LEGAL, THE OWNER WOULD HAVE TO INSURE THAT HE OBTAINED AN AGREEMENT TO THIS FROM EVERYBODY IN THE SUBDIVISION. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY EVERY- BODY IN THE PLATTED SUBDIVISION, OR ABOUT 100 PEOPLE. COMMISSIONER LYONS THOUGHT THAT EVERYBODY OUGHT TO BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT NO PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE FOR DRAINAGE. MR. MARSH STATED THERE IS A VERY SLIGHT FRONT SWALE WHICH DOES DRAIN. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THAT BY ELIMINATING THE SIDE LOT EASEMENT, THE COUNTY IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE DELINQUENCY OF THE DRAINAGE. HE FELT EVERYBODY OUGHT TO BE WELL AWARE THAT SOONER OR LATER IT WILL BE A PROBLEM THERE, AND IT IS NOT THE COUNTY'S PROBLEM. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT THE COUNTY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DRAINAGE OR THE ROADS AT THIS TIME. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED CONCERNING ERECTING ONE BUILDING ON TWO LOTS.
