r SEP 2�.1�9� ALTERNATIVES: BOOK n F"i-GE,615 -7 Several alternatives to staff's proposal (as contained in this report) have been discussed by staff and were reviewed at the March 30th meeting with the Pine Lake Estates property owners. Such alternatives include the following: 1. Do nothing. Grandfathered -in parcels would remain "buildable", all others would remain unbuildable. Road right- of-way and improvements issues would remain unaddressed. 2. Private road plat. Property owners would need to act together to file a joint application to establish legal, private road rights-of-way through Pine Lake Estates. Certain parcel "build -ability" issues would remain unaddressed, and concerted action of property owners would be essential. 3. Subdivision project initiated, constructed, finalized. This alternative would also require concerted action by private owners to pick-up where the original "developer" left -off and bring the project up to current subdivision standards. Complex, coordinated action by the property owners and substantial funding would be required. In staff's opinion, all three of these alternatives have major disadvantages. However, the solutions recommended by staff would be affordable, would not require extensive private coordination among property owners, and would be effective enough to grandfather -in and make "buildable" existing parcels while providing a means for possible future improvements within the to - be -established road rights-of-way. RECUMENDATIUM: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners consider staff's three recommended solutions, receive input from Pine Lake Estates property owners, and authorize staff to initiate actions (including initiating the assessment project process) to resolve problems previously described in this report. Director Boling used an overhead projector to show the Board the location of the subject area. He commented that there are about 60 acres in Pine Lake Estates. A site plan review in 1990 revealed that the subdivision was not legally platted. The original developer is deceased, but in March of this year the County Attorney's office located a Declaration of Intent to Dedicate Right -of -Way that she executed in 1982. That instrument, along with a few other actions the Board can take, is the key to establishing road rights-of-way and making the lots buildable. Chairman Bird agreed that Pine Lake Estates property owners have an access problem. He asked what is needed to bring the roads up to County standards so they could be graded by the County. Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that engineering staff analyzed some alternatives for improving the roads. The County historically has done a 100% special assessment to the 20
