J U L 21991 BOOK PAGE driveways ends and then there is R/W where the grader would go, but Commissioner Eggert pointed out that the driveway extends beyond the swale which is what bothers her. Question then arose as to how Mr. Dupuis set the culvert size, and he stated that he set the culvert at the height shown on the stakes, and he did call Engineering, but they said they didn't need to come out when they had already set the stakes. Commissioner Scurlock noted that is where he has a problem with the inspector just taking someone's word for all this instead of actually going to the site. Bill Meager of the Engineering Department informed the Board that the Engineering Department was not called for slab inspec- tion on this driveway. It is not shown on their records; the only record is that the Building Department signed off. Mr. Dupuis again explained that before he called County Permit, he called Engineering and told them he had set the culvert where they marked on the stakes and asked them if he needed to get any other inspections before he poured the driveway. They said No - all you need is to call for the County permit and have them come out and inspect the driveway. Considerable discussion enused regarding culverts, unpaved roads,.R/W, coordination, etc., with Mr. Meagar explaining that Engineering is in control of the R/W, and the Building Department is in charge of everything up to the property line. Administrator Chandler confirmed that authority to sign off on a driveway lies with Engineering and not with Building, and if a Building Inspector told them the driveway was all right, then we have a problem. Director Davis felt we need to table this item for a week or so and get together with the Building Department to substantiate exactly what occurred. Board members expressed concern about delaying Mr. Dupuis from moving into his house, but Mr. Dupuis and Director Davis explained that in order to get his C.O. and be able to move in his house, Mr. Dupuis put up a $200 bond to cover the cost of removing the concrete if that is what the Board decided. Commissioner Wheeler continued to argue in favor of issuing a license, but Commissioner Scurlock felt we must be extremely concerned about the long range precedent we would set as this could involve a terrible tracking problem. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0) tabled further action on this item for one week. 46
