Commissioner Bird wondered how long we are going to have to continue to go outside for consultants to do this work for us. Administrator Wright felt we will be able to do this in-house when the codes are developed, but right now we are very stretched out as to staff. Planning Director Keating believed when there is a one time activity such as developing a Zoning Code, that it is better to deal with someone who writes these codes on a regular basis and keeps up with all the current requirements. He pointed out that much of the Planning Department's activity is spent on day to day activities. Commissioner Wodtke noted that this land is leased and wished to know when you deal with a violation whether you deal with the person who owns the land or the one who owns the structure on the land. Attorney Brandenburg stated that depends on the type of violation. With the structures you deal with the lease holders; re the lots, improper streets and selling lots without proposal disposal systems, you deal with the land owner. The Attorney noted that in 1978 the owners indicated that in return for allowing a certain number of additional structures to be placed out there, which it was agreed would be self-contained units, they would not sell any more lots until a public disposal system was in place. However, more lots were sold and the units that were placed out there were not self-contained. Attorney Brandenburg, therefore, felt that we have very good grounds to go back and require the Holmans to live up to their original representations to the county, and with the Board's permission, he would like to do so. Commissioner Wodtke noted that he has the same concern as Commissioner Bird about paying someone outside to write this special zoning ordinance. He realized we need to create conformity in the zoning, but stressed that his main concern is the health area; we must address the septic tank problems. ®® 31 N Q 7 19®4 BOOK FjAu 777
