�Eb 1990 BOOK PAvE 8 discussion on right-of-way acquisition and where we are headed. We are having to wrestle with a good number of these cases on an individual basis, and need some direction on policy and funding. Commissioner Bird asked if this would be the only place on the entire 4th Street corridor where we would have 100 feet of right-of-way, and Director Davis advised that we have 100 feet of right-of-way in other sections of 4th Street, particularly east of 43rd Avenue where the County bought 6 lots about 1-1/2 years ago. The point is that there are quite a few that we don't have. Commissioner Bird asked Mr. Schlitt if he was in agreement with the offer of $8,717.50, and Mr. Schlitt advised that he is in agreement because Mr. Davis had worked out a couple of things where we would be taking some things in trade such as the County filling and clearing an equivalent piece of property. The only thing that he basically will be losing is his plan, which everybody decided can be used somewhere else. The only other thing he will be losing is all the hours he has spent getting the house this far only for it to be rejected. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation of Alternative No. 2, as set out in the above memo. Commissioner Scurlock was sorry that this happened to Mr. Schlitt, and Director Davis explained that there has been a surveyor in town who has been preparing sketches of surveys that show a 60 -ft. right-of-way and that information is incorrect. Staff has been taking the registered survey drawings as fact because it is a platted subdivision, and haven't been going to the plat to make sure that the registered land surveyor is correct. The registered land surveyor is not showing the rights- of-way appropriately, and we reviewed it based on the information submitted. 79
