A ~ L.. ~ Item 12: The Tax Collector submits the annual report of uncollected taxes on real property as of January 31, 1978, and recommends a date for the 1977 tax lien sale. The agenda attachment stated that as of January 31, 1978, the unpaid 1977 taxes on real property amounted to $654,678.57. The Finance Director informed the Board that the tax collection was about identical to last year's collection, which was not too good, however, the County Manager stated that percentagewise, this year is an improvement over last year. He further stated that the Tax Collector suggested June 5, 1978 be scheduled as the date of the tax lien sale. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to schedule June 5, 1978 as the date of the tax lien sale. The Board briefly discussed the Art School but took no action. The Board adjourned for lunch at this point in the meeting. Commissioner Willhoit was excused for the first portion of the meeting fallowing lunch. Item 11: Plats for Consideration a) Carol Oldham - Minor Subdivision - This plat shows a minor sub- division with a Class C private road originally approved in December of 1976. The property owner is requesting a one year extension of time to complete the road. The Planning Board recommends a six month extension be granted. Eddie Kirk, a member of the Planning Staff, stated that Ms. Oldham is requesting a hardship variance for an extension of time due to recent weather conditions which has prevented construction of the road. Upon motion of Commissioner Gustaveson, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to grant a six month extension according to the recommendation of the Planning Board. b) Rollingwood, Section 5 - Final Plat. This plat depicts exten- sion of an old subdivision and was reviewed in the preliminary phase by the Board of Commissioners a short while ago. The plat changes recom- mended by the Commissioners at that time have been implemented. The Health Department has declined septic tank approval of two lots #52 and 53. The Planning Board recommends approval of the subdivision with the reservation that the subdivision plat be redrawn to show lots 52 and 53 not suitable for subsurface sewage disposal. Mr. Kirk stated that the Erosion Control Officer has reviewed this plat and recommended a 30 foot drainage easement to go with the contours of the land and a 50 foot stream buffer on either side of the stream. The road has been shortened and now does not dead end into the stream. The Department of Transportation has approved the road. Upon motion of Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Pinney, it was moved and adopted to appzave the final plat o£ Rollingwood, Section 5 with the reservation that the subdivision plat be redrawn to show Lots 52 and 53 labeled "Of Restrictive Development Potential because of unsuit- ability of septic tanks". l c) Greenbxiar Estates - Final Plat - This subdivision of six lots in Eno Township was approved in August of 1977 subject to railroad approval for a private crossing. This approval was denied by the railroad, therefore, the plat is being resubmitted showing a new access. The Planning Board has approved the revised plat. Mr. Kirk informed the Board that a 50 foot buffer was recommended along both sides of a stream crossing lots 4, 5, and 6. Questions which the Board previously had asked were in regard to two entrances into the Subdivision. One entrance was through the Whispering Pines Subdivision and another is proposed to cross a railroad crossing into the subdivision. Southern Railroad has suggested this crossing be closed, yet has done some improvement to the crossing. It was pointed out that property owners of land beyond Greenbriar Estates probably owned an easement, which would prevent the closing of the railroad crossing.
