r BOOK 83 PAU 808- Director 08 Director Davis explained that Grovenor Estates is a subdivision of about 206 lots, and in 1985, the Board directed that we address violations in that subdivision for this same issue. At that time staff found there were 27 violations, and after working with the people, out of the 206 lots, there now are only 19 driveways that are paved within the R/W. We have issued one license agreement to Graham Stikelether in the past to allow such a driveway to remain in Clemmons Estates, but staff still feels a driveway should not be paved in a county unpaved R/W for the reasons set out in the above memo. Commissioner Scurlock believed Mr. Dupuis is a contractor and that he has done this before without a permit. Director Davis advised that he had a permit issued, and on the back of the permit, it specifically states that he should not pave out into the R/W. Commissioner Scurlock noted that Mr. Dupuis, therefore, was aware of the restriction, but he went ahead and did it anyway. Commissioner Wheeler did not believe that Jim Dupuis is a contractor, and he believed there was some confusion over the issuance of the permit also. James Dupuis, 32nd Avenue S.W., Grovenor Estates, came be- fore the Board and stated that the driveway was formed up when he called for an inspection, and the inspector came out and signed off on it. He more or less built the house as owner/builder, and he did not know the driveway was not supposed to go past his property line. He has pictures that will show his driveway is not in the way of the grader, and he also has pictures of other driveways in Grovenor Estates that go past the property line. Commissioner Scurlock commented that he was led to believe that Mr. Dupuis had built a number of homes but this apparently is a lot different situation. Mr. Dupuis explained that his father is a contractor, and he just gave him a hand now and then with building his house. Commissioner Eggert believed that his father would have known about this requirement, and she believed Mr. Dupuis was issued a permit, on the back of which there was a reference to that requirement. Chairman Bird asked what hardship would be involved in cutting off the driveway at the property line if that were the wishes of the Board, and Director Davis advised it would just be a matter of sawing the concrete off, removing it, and putting in rock. Commissioner Eggert wished to know just how people are made aware of this requirement, and Director Davis stated that the list of conditions is simply set out on the back of the permit. 44
