DENIAL OF REQUEST BY EDWARD FENDERSON, JR. FROM SEWER CONSTRUCTION
REQUIREMENTS
Chairman Barfield expressed concern for setting a precedent by
waiving sewer construction requirements for minor subdivisions with
more than one lot.
Assistant County Manager Dave Weaver stated lots 4 and 5 will
be served by a sewer line along Granny Road; however, only lot 6
will require a sewer line along the 30 foot access easement to
Granny Road. Due to no specific time frame for installation of
sewer on lot 6, Staff recommends exemption of the sewer
construction requirements. He, also, stated Staff has discussed
the possibility of amending the Sewer Ordinance to charge a fee in
lieu of the dry sewer requirement, particularly in areas where
there is no designated time frame for installation of the sewer.
Motion: After discussion of the tract of land being more than one
lot, Chairman Barfield MOVED, SECONDED by District Commissioner
Sutton to deny the request by Mr. Edward Fenderson, Jr. for
exemption from sewer construction requirements. Staff was directed
to proceed with preparing an amendment to the Sewer Ordinance or a
policy that would charge a fee in lieu of the dry sewer
requirements in certain areas of the County. Upon vote, the MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion: District Commissioner Retchin MOVED, SECONDED by District
commissioner Mathews to adjourn. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairman Barfield adjourned the meeting at 9:45 o'clock P.M.
