JUR 3198��k, RAGE 644 <br />REVISION TO PRELIMINARY PLAT OF COLONIAL HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION <br />ADMINISTRATOR NELSON BROUGHT UP AN EMERGENCY MATTER REGARDING <br />COLONIAL HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION AS EXPLAINED IN THE FOLLOWING MEMO: <br />TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: June 1,-1981 FILE: <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />SUBJECT: Revision to Preliminary Plat <br />Colonial Heights Subdivision <br />FROM: Neil A. Nelson, REFERENCES: <br />County Administrator <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On May 29, 1981, several residents of Colonial Terrace Subdivision <br />ardently objected to the clearing of trees along the western boundry of <br />Colonial Heights Subdivision. Commissioner Bird, the County Administrator <br />and the County Engineer visited the site and spoke with various Colonial <br />Terrace residents, John Trodglen, the Contractor and Frank Zorc, Developer. <br />The original Preliminary Plat drawing approved January 14, 1981 -calls <br />for a -drainage swale to be constructed along the western Colonial Heights <br />property line in a 10' wide easement adjacent to a 15' wide dedicated <br />roadway east of Colonial Terrace Subdivision. This 10' wide easement <br />contains numerous oaks and other trees desirable for preserving. The 15' <br />dedicated right-of-way to the west is clear and is not intended to be <br />used for road purposes in the future. It was agreed upon by the developer <br />that he would stop work in this area until further investigation and re- <br />commendations were made. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />An alternative to relocate the drainage swale 10' west to the 15' <br />dedicated County right-of-way was presented to the property owners of <br />Colonial Terrace and the developer, Frank Zorc. All parties agreed that <br />this action would save the trees and cause no undue hardship. The County <br />staff including the County attorney has recommended that this is a viable <br />al tern ati ve . <br />RECOMMENDATIONS PND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that the Preliminary Plat of Colonial Heights <br />Subdivision be revised to show the western drainage swale relocated to <br />the 15' dedicated County Road right-of-way. <br />There are no funding considerations to be considered for this matter. <br />ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REPORTED THAT MR. ZORC WAS IN THE <br />PROCESS OF CLEARING THE IO' UTILITY EASEMENT ON HIS PROPERTY IN THE <br />AREA OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES AS APPROVED ON HIS SITE PLAN. HE <br />AGREED TO HALT WORK UNTIL THE BOARD COULD DECIDE IF THE ABOVE ALTERNA- <br />TIVE WAS AGREEABLE. <br />74 <br />
