r- S E p 2 110, _ BOOK 90 PAUE613 resulted in the original developer, Bertha Weissman, recording a "Declaration of Intent to Dedicate Rights -of -Way" (see attachment #4). However, the rights-of-way have not yet been legally described, and the county has not yet officially accepted the dedication. Furthermore, based upon the Board's pronouncements and the mapping of Pine Lake Estates as a standard subdivision in the Property Appraiser's tax parcel maps, some building permits were issued in the 1980's to develop Pine Lake Estates parcels. Staff Recommended Solutions Based upon the unique, past treatment of Pine Lake Estates by the County, it is staff's opinion that formal actions should be taken to try to bring Pine Lake Estates up to a legal, developable standard. Therefore, in staff's opinion, the following actions should be taken: 1. Make parcels of record buildable. Although the "subdivision" was illegally created without proper plat approval, past county actions regarding parcel development, rezoning, and rights-of-way issues form unique circumstances surrounding Pine Lake Estates that warrant variance consideration. The Board of County Commissioners should grant variances from certain provisions of the subdivision ordinance to allow development of Pine Lake Estates parcels that were of record in January, 1983. [Note: On January 1, 1983, there were 72 parcels of record in Pine Lake Estates. Presently, there are still only 72 parcels of record.] Cost: Normally, a subdivision variance request costs $500.00; however, the Board of County Commissioners could waive such a fee if it determines that the county should initiate the variance action. 2. Establish county rights-of-way within Pine Lake Estates. The Board of County Commissioners should authorize county forces to survey road rights-of-way throughout Pine Lake Estates, as shown on the Pine Lake Estates map and referenced in the Declaration of Intent to Dedicate Right -of -Way executed by Bertha Weissman on August 19, 1982 (see attachment #4). After the surveying information is obtained and the rights-of-way are legally described, the Board of County Commissioners should approve a resolution accepting the Weissman right-of- way dedication, and should authorize staff to record the resolution in the public records. The county would accept the rights-of-way but would not accept any maintenance responsibility of the roads. Cost: Surveying costs: $9,278.33 (see attachment #5). All costs to be borne by the Pine Lake Estates property owners. 3. Allow improvement of roads and drainage by private property owners. By accepting the road rights-of-way, the county would control activities and development affecting its rights-of- way. Although the county would have no responsibility or obligation to improve or maintain the rights-of-way, it could permit private property owners to perform individual or concerted improvements and maintenance within the rights-of- way. Permission for such activities would be granted via the issuance of county right-of-way permits. Note: Staff's proposal will not immediately solver any Physical road or drainage problems in Pine Lake Estates. However, if staff's recommendation is implemented, then in the 18
