Mr. Howard noted that this matter was <br />discussed at a Board meeting in March, and at that time, Director <br />Davis stated that sufficient rights-of-way are required in the <br />subdivision platting process; however, the Board made no <br />particular response to that except to say that 16th St. S.W. and <br />4th Avenue S.W. have to be indicated on the plat and these roads <br />are to be made consistent with the graded marl roads in the area. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if the 25' right-of-way dedication <br />causes Mr. -Powell some particular problem, and Mr. Howard stated <br />that it reduces the size of the lots, which are 1/2 acre lots and <br />they must be able to comply with the septic tank and well re- <br />quirements. <br />Administrator Wright believed the Health Department will <br />give them credit for the right-of-way dedication, and Planner <br />Boling informed the Board that Mr. Galanis of the Health <br />Department told him that the right-of-way dedication would not <br />affect the well and septic tank requirements. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, to accept staff's <br />recommendation and clarify that the previously <br />granted variance did not exempt the platting of <br />s <br />the subject property from required right-of-way <br />dedications. <br />Mr. Howard noted that they have already agreed to give 25' <br />of easement and asked if, as a possible alternative, it could be <br />60 <br />
