Commissioner Scurlock understood that what they want to do <br />is not dedicate the right-of-way, but grant the County an <br />easement with no permanent structures, and use that 10 feet for <br />calculations for parking and building requirements until such <br />time as the County needs the roadway. <br />Attorney Vitunac stated that with respect to the curb cut, <br />the Board controls the roads and is responsible for public <br />safety, and the Board has the right to close down a curb cut on <br />U.S. #1 if they feel it would cause a traffic hazard. <br />Director Keating pointed out that the ordinance requires <br />parking to be buffered by a 10 -ft. landscaped strip, and while <br />the ordinance is specific about the right-of-way being dedicated, <br />it allows discretion as to when it is dedicated. Within that <br />timeframe, no required improvements can be placed, which includes <br />the required landscaped strip. <br />Mr. Penalba asked if they could be given the ability to <br />dedicate in one or two years, and Administrator Wright did not <br />feel that was a good idea because either they need parking space <br />or they don't. <br />Commissioner Lyons was concerned that there is a feeling <br />that we are taking something away from the applicant, as far as <br />this building is concerned. He pointed out that the applicant <br />does not have a building there yet, but here we are trying to <br />find out what kind of a building he can put there. The <br />calculations should be based on something that he can have, not <br />on something that he might have. <br />Mr. Penalba asked if they were putting a service station in, <br />would they stop the cut, and Administrator Wright felt that they <br />would very likely. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />35 <br />BOOK <br />E2 FAGUE 91 Q <br />
