PlalLner Boling reviewed the history of this property, noting that Mr. Powell would only have to plat the top six lots in order to confo He continued that at present the subdivision is bounded by a County right-of-way. The north/south right-of-way, 4th Ave. SW, is maintained by the county and is graded; a portion of the northernmost street running east and west along the northern boundary of the property has been upgraded to some extent, but as you get toward the canal, it is basically just two -tire tracks across the grass. Planner Boling reviewed the requirements that Mr. Powell would like to have waived; he stated that he believed Mr. Powell is willing to do anything on paper that is required, but that he is not willing to do any of the improvements. It is staff's opinion that the required improve- ments would be needed just as in any other subdivision, and staff is recommending that Mr. Powell's request for waiver of these requirements be denied. Discussion arose about paving, and Director Keating explained that staff is not saying Mr. Powell has to pave the road to a connection to another road, but he has to make an arrangement to have the roads that front on his subdivision paved. Commissioner Scurlock wished to know how many lineal feet of paving this would involve, and Director Davis stated about 700' on one street and 450' on the other, at a cost of around $25-$30 a foot. Commissioner Wodtke asked if there ever was an offer made saying that if he paved the roads, he didn't have to do the drainage. Attorney Brandenburg explained that when he was talking with Mr. Rever, agent for Mr. Powell, he suggested the possibility that if Mr. Powell agreed to plat and to do the drainage, the requirement for the road might be one that could be waived. Mr. Keating's department rejected that as a potential, however, and Mr. Rever's client did also. 33 MAR 2 0 1985 BOOK 60 P,�rF N -
