CONSIDER RE 111398 - KORAS: Lanell Swanson, Department of Planning Services, read staff's recommendation for denial into the record. Michael Rotella, son-in-law of Mary Koras, explained the reasons Mrs. Koras is asking for the recorded exemption. Mrs. Koras stated there is no home planned on the larger parcel, and she would put it up for sale if this split is approved. Commissioner Lacy moved to deny Recorded Exemption #1398 based on the excessive development in the area which he feels would be better served by the Subdivision or PUD Regulations, and the fact that this would cause even further development. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mrs. Koras stated this is dryland which is not good for anything else. Commissioner Lacy discussed the impact to the roads in the area without proper maintenance concerns being addressed. This parcel has access to three roads. Commissioner Kirby discussed the overall basic guideline of a building site for every 160 acres of dryland and every 80 acres for irrigated Minutes - March 23, 1992 Page 3 land. He stated that if this exemption is approved, it would open up hundreds of other similar requests. In answer to a question from Chairman Pro-Tem Harbert, Ms. Swanson said this split would create the third parcel since 1981. In 1981 there was a 5-acre parcel split off; this request is for a 10-acre parcel and a 21-acre parcel. Commissioner Kirby said the value of land escalates when building sites are added, especially if a deep well permit can be obtained. Commissioner Webster moved to approve Recorded Exemption #1398. Chairman Pro-Tem Harbert seconded the motion. Ms. Swanson presented three proposed Conditions of Approval to be incorporated. Both Commissioners Webster and Harbert agreed to include said conditions in the motion. The applicant agreed to the Conditions of Approval. Further discussion was held about the legal ramifications of withholding a building permit on a parcel after a legal lot is created through this process. Mr. David stated the County would have to issue the permit. On a roll call vote, Commissioners Webster and Harbert voted yes, and Commissioners Kirby and Lacy voted no. Commissioner Kennedy will review the tapes when he returns and cast the deciding vote. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The Resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. There were no Ordinances. Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
