Further discussion ensued regarding access and soil condi- tions, and Commissioner Wodtke did not believe that we got a direct answer from Mr. Powell as to what he would be willing to do, i.e., file the necessary document to indicate the roadways, address the drainage and utility easements, etc. Mr. Powell noted that they were just told Monday about the drainage and they have not had time to see how much all this would cost. He pointed out that there are power lines in there now, and Commissioner Scurlock stated that Mr. Power could give the easements on the lots he still owns, but on those that are sold, their owners would have to give the easements. He con- tinued that he does not see this as a situation of asking Mr. Powell what he is going to do, but felt the Board should tell him what he is going to do fof the health, safety and welfare of the community. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, to grant Mr. Powell a variance to the required improvement section of the Subdivision Ordinance so that paving of the roadways will not be required, the roads just to be consistent with others in the area; the roadways will have to be indicated on the plat, and Mr. Powell will have to go through the platting process, showing all easements, etc. Commissioner Bird noted that the net effect is that Mr. Powell will have to go through the subdivision process minus the paving requirement. Commissioner Bowman asked why he would not be required to pave, and Commissioner Scurlock believed it is a matter of reasonableness. Even though he believed Mr. Powell was looking for the loophole, he was led to believe it was there; he was acting in good faith; and he did get caught in the middle. 39 600 F'P P°,�E 215
