j on, and it didn't make sense to activate a well when they were told they would have county water so soon. Administrator Wright asked if internal distribution lines were put in, because all they would lose would be the well, not the fines. Chairman Lyons did not believe we should try to evaluate this so much in dollars, but just determine whether there was a good faith effort. He wished to know if they received a permit from the DER for a sewage plant. Attorney Clem assured him that a permit was granted. Director Keating wished to point out that this is consistent with some of the other plans that have been terminated, and possibly the site plan approval was granted prematurely. Another thing to consider is that we now have much more control in the site plan process over the mobile home parks, and we have had big problems where these services were put in on an incremental basis. Discussion continued at length as to what constitutes a reasonable amount of construction, and Commissioner Bird felt there is no question that if this was before us today, we would not grant mobile home zoning in this area or have this plan. Attorney Clem noted that the site plan is valid now, and he felt the burden is on the County. Attorney Brandenburg read from the ordinance the applicable section relating to a good faith effort and when construction shall be considered abandoned. Chairman Lyons asked if they have put in any water lines, and Attorney Clem stated they have not, but they are ready to - all this came upon them like a bolt out of the blue - the inadvertent mix-up with their zoning and then the revocation. Administrator Wright felt the way the park is laid out, they have a very minor cost in physically connecting, and he felt the water line did not stop the development of the park as it could easily have been developed without water. 67 MAY 1 1985 Boor 60 uGF.7 3
