and discuss problems in the Pine Lake Estates development. After that meeting, staff researched and discussed the various issues involved and coordinated with Commissioner Adams. As a result, -= staff came to a consensus on an approach to address the following 3 basic problems: 1. Unbuildability of many parcels within Pine Lake Estates. 2. Lack of legally established road rights-of-way. 3. Lack of road and drainage improvements and maintenance. Although concerted action by the property owners could resolve these problems, staff concluded that such concerted action would not be forthcoming and that the county would need to take the initiative.- It was also staff's position that .the Pine Lake* Estates property owners, rather than the general public, should bear the costs involved in resolving these problems, since the property owners would directly benefit from such actions. *Board Action: Fall 1993 At the September 21, 1993 Board of County Commissioners meeting, staff recommended that the Board initiate general actions to help address the 3. problems identified. above. Prior to that meeting, staff mailed a copy of its report and recommendation to all Pine Lake Estates property owners listed on the tax rolls. Many Pine Lake Estates property owners attended the meetings and several participated in the discussion. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Board stated that it agreed with staff's recommendations and authorized staff to: 1. Conduct surveying work necessary to provide a legal description for road rights-of-way running through Pine Lake Estates. Owners of Pine La4ke Estates parcels are to be assessed for the surveying costs on a per "lot" basis (estimated cost per "lot" not to exceed $48.08). 2. Draft a resolution (which includes the rights-of-way legal description) for the Board Chairman to sign that would legally establish road rights-of-way in Pine Lake Estates. Note: The Board agreed that the rights-of-way would be accepted by the county for regulation purposes but would not be accepted for maintenance purposes. Private property owners, individually or as a group, would be responsible for maintenance and would be allowed to propose road and drainage improvements within the rights-of-way via applications to county engineering for county right-of-way permits. 3. Initiate an application for subdivision variances to be granted for Pine Lake Estates to allow the buildability of parcels of record. Relevant minutes from the September 21, 1993 meeting are contained in attachment #3 of this report. Board Action Needed Now Since the September 21, 1993 meeting, staff has had the road rights-of-way surveying work performed and checked (at a cost significantly lower than the original estimate), has drafted a - resolution for the county to accept and establish the rights-of- way, and has initiated the subdivision variance process.
