CASSARA HAD INTENDED TO DEDICATE THE STREETS, ETC., TO THE COUNTY, BUT IF IT IS THE COMMISSIONS WISH NOT TO ACCEPT THESE STREETS, THEY THEN WILL PROCEED WITH PRIVATE STREETS. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK INQUIRED ABOUT THE SITUATION WHERE THERE IS ONLY ONE ROAD IN AND OUT OF A SUBDIVISION AND WHETHER THESE ROADS ARE GENERALLY DEDICATED TO THE COUNTY. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT WE HAVE ACCEPTED SOME IN THE PAST, COLONIAL TERRACE BEING A GOOD EXAMPLE, BUT HE DOES NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRACTICE. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER FELT WE DONT HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS,AND THE CHAIRMAN AGREED. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD FELT WE MUST BE CONSISTENT AND SHOULD SET A POLICY. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER NOTED THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE A POLICY TO BE SET IN THIS REGARD AS THERE HASNIT BEEN ONE BEFORE. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER FELT IF THE DEVELOPER CHOOSES TO PLAT A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND HAVE ONLY ONE INGRESS AND EGRESS, OBVIOUSLY HE WANTS TO KEEP IT PRIVATE OR TO HAVE AS MANY LOTS AS POSSIBLE. HE NOTED THE ONLY PEOPLE -USING THOSE ROADS WILL BE THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE BECAUSE THERE IS NO THROUGH TRAFFIC AND HE DID NOT SEE WHY THE TAXPAYERS FOR GENERATIONS TO COME SHOULD MAINTAIN A ROAD THAT ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE USING. COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT THESE ROADS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BUILT TO COUNTY SPECIFICATIONS WHETHER PUBLIC OR PRIVATE AND CONTINUED THAT HE COULD NOT THINK OF ANY SUBDIVISION WE HAVE APPROVED WHERE THE ROADS WERE REQUIRED TO BE BUILT TO COUNTY SPECIFI- CATIONS THAT WE HAVE NOT ACCEPTED THE ROADS IF THE DEVELOPER WISHED TO DEDICATE THEM TO THE COUNTY. AS TO THE ROAD HAVING TO BE A THOROUGHFARE, HE POINTED OUT THAT EVEN IF THE ROAD WERE EXTENDED, IT WOULD ONLY CONNECT UP TWO DIVISIONS AND THEY COULDNIT GO FURTHER THAN 8TH STREET IN ANY EVENT. a
