BOOK W PAGE 59% <br />road rights-of-way, which is a legal action wich allows the County <br />grader access to those roads for maintenance and improvement. <br />8tepheney-Ade, homeowner at Pine Lake Estates for 8 years, <br />stated that the residents wish to keep their country atmosphere and <br />to work with the County. She gave a brief history of her purchase <br />of six parcels in Pine Lake Estates. She understood that the <br />process will be taken one step at a time but emphasized that they <br />have a serious problem regarding protection and legal services as <br />citizens because they have no access for emergency services. She <br />asked what the homeowners can do in the meantime. They do their <br />own road maintenance with a Ford tractor and she asked if there is <br />a plan proposed for the future. <br />Attorney Vitunac clarified that Pine Lake Estates will not be <br />added to the County grader route at this point. The County is <br />accepting that road, which allows two things: the property owners <br />can get building permits legally, like any other subdivision, and <br />Pine Lake Estates can participate in a county road improvement <br />program in the future. The County is not accepting the obligation <br />for maintenance, and that leaves a gap as to who is responsible for <br />maintaining the roads. Normally a homeowners' association would <br />adopt a plan, present it to the County and do the repairs at its <br />own expense. Otherwise, the property owners would petition the <br />County to start a road improvement project for which the County <br />would charge the property owners, according to our standard <br />program, but that is not happening today. He explained that the <br />present consideration is for a survey, -and the property owners will <br />be charged for the survey costs. <br />Mrs. Ade was concerned about possible boundary conflicts, and <br />asked.if the survey determined whether any changes are needed. <br />County Engineer Roger Cain reported that the survey tried to <br />establish and check the unrecorded plats. There was a description <br />that Mrs. Weissman proposed to the county in 1982. The survey <br />showed no significant encroachment of any property in the right-of- <br />way. <br />Director Keating advised that an informational meeting was <br />held with the -homeowners beforehand, and staff explained a lot of <br />the issues. However, staff did not. have the results of the survey <br />at that meeting. <br />Administrator Chandler suggested that staff convene another <br />meeting prior to the public hearing on the survey assessment <br />scheduled for November 15 to inform the property owners what the <br />October 25, 1994 <br />M <br />24 <br />77 <br />M <br />
