PLANNING: 1) CONSIDER TWO -LOT RECORDED EXEMPTION, RECX19-0147 - THE B AND B FAMILY TRUST, C/O HOMER GRINDE, TRUSTEE (CONT'D FROM 5/6/2020): Michael Hall, Department of Planning Services, provided the property location and Chair Freeman summarized Homer Grinde's request to either withdraw the Recorded Exemption (RE) application or close the middle, unpermitted agricultural access, which would leave two (2) of the three (3) existing accesses. Christine Curl, applicant representative, requested the access be grandfathered in and Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the access in question does not meet minimum spacing requirements and staff is working to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of residents. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Bruce Barker, County Attorney, agreed the applicant may continue to utilize the access until a change in ownership of Lot A occurs, as Homer Grinde intends to sell the property. Mr. Barker further suggested the applicant be granted an Access Permit conditional upon closure of the agricultural access upon transfer of ownership, with said permit being recorded for future title search purposes. Mr. Hall stated staff does not typically require Access Permits for RE applications because they are implemented during the Building Permit process and Commissioner Kirkmeyer clarified the Board is requiring the access be permitted for this situation to ensure the discussed conditions are fulfilled. Mr. Barker suggested amending language to Conditions of Approval (COA) #3.F and #4.G.21. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Recorded Exemption, RECX19-0147, with the Conditions of Approval as amended. Commissioner James seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. 2) CONSIDER TWO -LOT RECORDED EXEMPTION, RECX20-0023 - MARK AND LISA CUMMINGS: Mr. Hall presented the property location, surrounding land uses, and the Recorded Exemption (RE) historical timeline of the property dating from 1995, with the proposed RE being the fifth request on the property. Mr. Hall stated staff's recommendation for denial because an additional lot would further contribute to the existing subdivision layout within the 80 -acre tract of land and a formal subdivision application process is the appropriate means of development. Lisa Cummings, applicant, stated her and her husband's overall goal is to share the land with their two (2) children and, after providing additional background on the property's RE application history, she shared the proposed RE will create a north - south property boundary for leasing opportunities and for productive agricultural use because Lot B's current shape is not suitable for a center sprinkler pivot. Ms. Cummings further discussed the surrounding land developments to express her proposition and explained they are meeting necessary requirements, such as obtaining water and septic permits for the proposed lots. In response to Commissioner Ross, Ms. Cummings stated the pivot has been in place for approximately one (1) year and clarified the current configuration of Lot B is impractical for agricultural use because the center sprinkler pivot will not reach the seven (7) acres of land, proposed as Lot A. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mark Cummings, applicant, discussed their children's likelihood to reside on the lots in the future and Ms. Cummings clarified all three (3) lots share the 70 -foot access easement, while the fourth access belongs Minutes, Wednesday, May 13, 2020 Page 3 2020-1438 BC0016 to the neighbor. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the matter is an evasion of the subdivision process but expressed her willingness to consider approval if the requirements of a typical subdivision application are fulfilled. Mr. Cummings responded to Commissioner Kirkmeyer's inquiry, stating the maintenance of the access easement has not yet been determined or put into consideration, while Ms. Cummings added their future intent to apply for a road maintenance agreement. In considering an application for a subdivision per Commissioner Kirkmeyer's recommendation, Mr. Hall determined staff would require the access easement be a self -maintained public road right-of-way, the applicant must prove there is access to water for each lot, and a cul-de-sac must be created at the end of the access for emergency vehicles. Chair Freeman shared his support in achieving the requirements of the five -lot subdivision process and he emphasized the importance to include access for emergency vehicles. In response to Commissioner Ross, Ms. Cummings stated her neighbor requested a separate access arrangement with an adjacent property owner due to power lines lying between the lot lines and Melissa King, Department of Public Works, stated the applicant's residential access is too short a distance to the neighbor's access to adhere to the subdivision requirements. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Mr. Barker stated the access easement does not need to be dedicated as a public road right-of-way, but it does need to be a 70 -foot wide joint access utility easement extending across Lot B to benefit Lot A. Mr. Hall stated a separate recorded access maintenance agreement would be required upon change of ownership and Mr. Barker assured the County will not maintain it at any point in time. Mr. Hall further requested a Condition of Approval (COA) to state the applicant must provide proof of access to all lots. Commissioner James stated his support for the actions being made. Mr. Barker read the amendment to the plat for the record. Mr. Hall recommended adding advisory notes to the plat, declaring the easement is not a public roadway maintained by the County and reference the road maintenance agreement, listed as COA #1.E and #1.E.2 in said Resolution. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Recorded Exemption, RECX20-0023, with the Conditions of Approval as amended. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Moreno, and it carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the Consent Agenda. No Ordinances were approved. Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted by the Clerk to the Board.
