734 Commissioner Gustaveson told the developer the Board had taken a strong stand on the last four cases of noncompliance, especially when notice had been given and disregarded. Commissioner Gustaveson felt the Board should get a firm commitment from the developer or set a penalty. He said development should not begin until the developer had proper people to complete the entire job, including this type of work. Commissioner Whitted asked if a hydroseeder was the only way this job could be done. The Erosion Control Officer told the Board there were some steep slopes which would make the work difficult. Mr. Freeman explained to the Board a hydro- seeder mixes and blows a mixture of seed, adhesive, fertilizer and straw onto the bank. Commissioner Gustaveson moved to allow the developer five working days to comply with the ordinance. If, at the end of five working days, the owner is not in compliance, the Board will impose the minimum civil penalty of $10 a day. He also moved a report be made to the Board on November Gth. Commissioner Whitted seconded the motion. Commissioner Gustaveson told Mr. Paliouras the last three developers cited were fined the maximum penalty of .$100 per day. Commissioner Willhait offered an amendment to the motion to make the penalty run from the date of noncompliance, October 7. He felt using the date of non- compliance made the ordinance easier for the Erosion Control Officer to enforce. Commissioners Gustaveson and Whitted accepted this amendment to the motion. Commissioner Whitted stated the amended motion allows Mr. Paliouras five, working days to comply with the ordinance. After the end of five days., the Board will impose a civil penalty of $10 per day retroactive from October 7, the date of noncompliance. The Erosion Control Officer asked the Commissioners to consider not rushing the developer in hopes that the quality of work would not suffer. The motion was again amended to a17ow the owner until Friday, November 3, to get the necessary work done. The amended motion, as moved by Commissioner Gustaveson and seconded by Commissioner Whitted,•allowed the owner until November 3 to comply with the ordinance. If, as of November ath the owner was not in compliance, the Board would impose the minimum civil penalty of $10 a day, retroactive to October 7. Vote; ayes, 5; noes, 0.
