they changed the boundary from Park Lateral Canal to Willow Road is beyond him. Mr. Harris just wanted to be sure that the Board recognized that. Attorney Barkett summarized his arguments. They have proposed the easements and the documents to establish the framework to provide access and maintenance. They have worked very closely with Attorney Collins and have implemented almost all of his suggestions in these documents. The requested land use amendment would result in a double benefit by closing the loop around Fellsmere and Homewood that should be closed in a 1 unit per 5 acre density and by creating access easements and a maintenance entity where there isn't one right now. The water control district's concerns are satisfied and the County is not precluded from stepping in at some point in the future, if it wants to do that, and having clear easements to maintain. Attorney Barkett urged the Board to approve this request. Commissioner Wheeler questioned the cleared easements, and Attorney Barkett explained that the way they have it now with the property owners' association, the easements are created for the benefit of the people because County staff has said over and over that they did not want right-of-way and would refuse to accept right-of-way. A solution to that would be that instead of conveying title right now, they could dedicate the easements to the property owners' association so that it wouldn't be necessary.to get each owner to agree. If Mr. Kahn dedicates the easements to the property `ownersI association, that association could convey the rights-of-way to the County in the future if the County wants that. _ That way, you wouldn't have to go to each property owner, just to the association's board of directors. Attorney Vitunac advised that you could dedicate the easements to the property owners' association with the right of extinction in the county whenever the County files a certain document, and then write a divestiture. Attorney Barkett felt that would be a good approach, but he would have to research it. Lengthy discussion ensued about whether a property owners' association would have the ability to assess the property owners for new roads. Commissioner Bird had a dilemma with this situation. He felt getting the 60 feet right-of-way and getting these people off of these drainage district roads is an improvement to the situation. _ He would like to accept that, but didn't know how to go beyond that ,as far as wording a Motion to accept the dedication. 107, MAY 5
