THE AGENDA, AND ON THE BASIS OF THE DEVELOPER'S INSISTENCE AND BECAUSE OF ALL THE TIMES IT HAS COME BACK AND HAS HAD CHANGES, THIS WAS DONE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT IF A SUBDIVISION DOESN'T MEET REGULATIONS, IT DOESN'T MEET THEM, AND IT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE AGENDA. COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT IT IS NOT THE BOARD'S JOB TO REDO THESE THINGS. MR. MARSH BELIEVED THAT THE DEVELOPER WISHED TO APPEAL THE REQUIREMENT TO PAVE THE HALF ROAD. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THIS HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTHS, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT APPARENTLY THEY DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW OUR REGULATIONS, AND SENIOR PLANNER MARSH FELT THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE. HE CONTINUED THAT THE DEVELOPER SAYS THEY DON'T WANT TO AND WON'T PUT IN THE HALF ROAD. OUR REGULATIONS CALL FOR IT. HE DID NOT KNOW IF THE COMMISSIONERS CAN WAIVE THIS REQUIREMENT, BUT HE DID KNOW THAT PLANNING CAN'T. COMMISSIONER WODTKE WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL EITHER HAVE TO PUT IN THE HALF ROAD OR PUT THE COST OF DOING SO IN ESCROW SINCE THAT IS OUR POLICY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT MEETING THE SUBDIVISION REGULA- TIONS IS THE REQUIREMENT OF THE DEVELOPER AND THE ENGINEER. IF THE DEVELOPER CAN'T MEET THEM, PLANNING SHOULD JUST SAY IT WILL BE DIS- APPROVED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MEET REGULATIONS; OTHERWISE, THE COMMISSION ENDS UP ENGINEERING ALL THESE SUBDIVISIONS. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS COMMENTED THAT ANY ENGINEER IN THE COUNTY SHOULD KNOW WHAT THESE REGULATIONS ARE SINCE THEY WORK WITH THEM EVERY DAY. HE FELT WHEN THEY GO TO THE PLANNING OFFICE AND GET INTO ALL THESE DISCUSSIONS, IT SEEMS TO GET OFF TRACK SOMEHOW. IT WAS NOTED THAT POSSIBLY THESE PARTICULAR ENGINEERS ARE NOT LOCAL. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT GENERALLY ANYTHING BROUGHT BEFORE US FOR TENTATIVE OR FINAL APPROVAL IS BROUGHT BEFORE US WITH 58 JUL 3 0 1980 BOOK 44 fAGF 153
