APR 18 1984 BOOK 56 PnE-744. The second factor which staff has considered is -the progress which the applicant has made in completing the development. The subdivision's interior street has been paved and drainage swales have been installed. However, the work on the road and drainage systems has deteriorated and will need to be upgraded. The County Engineer has recommended that, if a variance and time extension is granted by the Board of County Commissioners, that a construetion schedule be established and that a 6 month time limit be placed on the extension. Placing this strict a time limit on the extension would grant the developer enough time to complete the development. It would also ensure that the County's interest was protected in not allowing an incom- plete development to remain incomplete for a long period of time. The applicant has agreed to this time limit. The subdivision ordinance gives the Board of County Commission- ers the authority to both grant subdivision variances and grant preliminary plat approval extensions. Historically, the Board has usually gianted one 18 month extension of plat approval when it has been requested. As stated previously, this plat expired on November 5, 1983. If an 18 month extension had been granted at that time, the approval would be valid until May 5, 1985. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant a variance from the time limit provision of the County's Subdivision Ordinance 75-3 subject to the following conditions:. 1) that the applicant increase the road right-of-way reservation along his 4th Street frontage by 30'; 2) that the applicant develop and comply with a new construction schedule which is approved by the County Engineer; and 3) that the applicant submit a final plat approval request within 6 months of the date when the variance was granted. Clare Poupard, Staff Planner, presented staff's recommendation for approval of the variance request, subject to the three conditions listed in the above memo. She noted that the applicant was not in attendance today but was aware of the conditions under which the variance would be granted. Mrs. koupard advised that the County Attorney has reviewed the variance request and recommends approval. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously (3-0) granted a variance from the time limit provision of the County's Subdivision Ordinance 75-3 subject to conditions as recommended by staff. 12 _
