FRANK CLARK, III, APPEARED BEFORE THE BOARD AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEMS WHICH HE BELIEVED AROSE BOTH AS A RESULT OF THEIR MISUN- DERSTANDING ABOUT THE NEED TO PLAT PROPERTIES THAT ABUT ON EXISTING ROADS AND THE COMPLETE BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH HIS ENGINEER. HE STATED THAT HE HAD NOT BEEN AWARE OF ANY OF THE NINE OBJECTIONS LISTED AND WISHED TO COMPLY WITH WHATEVER THE COUNTY WANTS. AS TO THE PREMATURE SALE OF LOTS, MR. CLARK EXPLAINED THAT THEY DID TAKE DEPOSITS ON ALL 11 LOTS THINKING THAT THE PLATTING WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN A FEW MONTHS, AND NOW IT HAS BEEN A YEAR. ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THE BOARD THAT, AS HE READ THE ORDINANCE, A SALE IS A CLOSING AND DELIVERY OF DEED; THEREFORE, HE DID NOT FEEL THAT ANY VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED BY TAKING DEPOSITS. MR. CLARK NOTED THAT HE ALREADY HAD POSTED $10,000 WITH THE COUNTY FOR PAVING HALF OF THE ROAD AND INQUIRED IF THE NINE ITEMS LISTED WOULD FALL WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE ENGINEER. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT THEY ARE PRIMARILY ENGINEERING ITEMS AND FELT HE COULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL IF THESE NINE ITEMS ARE SATISFIED. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER BROUGHT UP THE COUNTY POLICY OF SHAR- ING 75%/25% IN ROAD PAVING, AND IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY IN THIS SITUATION WHERE THE OTHER 50% WOULD COME FROM THE PROP- ERTY OWNERS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, NOT THE COUNTY. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD AGREED THAT IT HAS BEEN DE- TERMINED THAT MR. CLARK IS -NOT IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW, AND IF PSR, CLARK WOULD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SEEING THAT HIS ENGINEERS MEETS WITH STAFF AND CLEARS UP THE ITEMS LISTED, HE CAN PROCEED TO FINAL PLAT APPROVAL. FIRE DISTRICT MEETINGS THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THEREUPON RECESSED AT 4;30 O'CLOCK P.M.
