M Todd Wallner, 10425 93rd Lane, resident of Pine Lake Estates for ten years, stated that when he bought his parcel and built his home, that area was zoned R -1-E, residential one acre estates. He asked if that zoning category will be changed. Director Boling advised that in 1982 and 1983 the property was zoned for one -acre parcels, and since then no parcels have been - allowed that are less than an acre in size. However, there were parcels less than an acre in size which existed before the one -acre zoning went into effect, and the recommended action will not change those parcels. We are not attempting to make more parcels than what exist out there now. Mr. Wallner was concerned that the one -acre parcels would be divided into smaller parcels. Chairman Tippin understood that nothing will change; we will not add or subtract from the number of existing lots. Commissioner Adams explained that the Board is considering a resolution to accept the road rights-of-way as requested by the residents of Pine Lake Estates. Director Keating further explained that in the early 1980s the zoning was changed from the single lot zoning to the R -1-E because there was no infrastructure, no roads or drainage to accommodate all the lots shown on the information map. The roads were never dedicated to the County, therefore they did not exist, and the County had no right to go out there and do anything to these roads. Mr. Wallner stated that he and his neighbors are in favor of the County maintaining the roads and drainage. Commissioner Bird recalled that in the 1980s the Board tried to make the best of a bad situation. The property owners combined parcels and built their homes on bigger parcels, and wanted that lifestyle, so the Board agreed to create the one -acre zoning. But there were smaller parcels in that area and those smaller parcels were grandfathered in. Commissioner Adams noted that normally we do not accept roads until they are brought up to minimum standards, but would make an exception in this case. The Board was responding to a request from the residents of Pine Lake Estates who have a problem. Mr. Wallner assumed that the County estimated the cost to each property owner to bring these roads up to standard. Commissioners Bird and Adams explained that the Board was -considering only the survey work, not estimating 'the cost to bring the roads up to standard. The roads are not clearly defined _- because they have not been maintained, some of the roads have meandered onto private property, and this survey will show where - the roads should be. The resolution would establish and accept the 23 BOOK ZJJ PAGE 51 October 25, 1994
