768 •- Commissioner Willhoit said he felt the time when P. Scott was subdividing this.:acreage should be the time to provide easement where required. He said he did not understand why this would be a hardship. The County Attorney said it was not a hardship and not a variance but a partial width right-of-way. He said the ordinance had a separate section for variances. The Planning Director said the Planning Board recommended variance be granted under partial width, The Cvunty Attorney said a variance is not permitted under the ordinance. The County Attorney said there is a provision that allows the Board to vary from the 60 foot road requirement under certain conditions. Commissioner Whitted said the meeting would adjourn until after lunch when the Board could review the wording of the current ordinance. Commissioner Whitted brought the meeting to order after lunch break. Members present:' Commissioners Whitted, Willhoit and Gustaveson. Commissioner Whitted said the topic under discussion before the Board adjourned for lunch was Kent Scott's request for a partial width. He said the Board now had a copy of the updated subdivision regulations. The County Attorney said a good place to record the partial width right-of- way would be the plat and P. Scott's deed. He was concerned the Board could get an additional 30 .feet through Mr. Kent Scott's land in the event it was necessary. Commissioner Gustaveson said that would be indicated on the plat. Commissioner Willhoit thought the 30 foot right-of-way should terminate on Mr. Ken Scott's property. Commissioner Whitted said if Mr. Barringer wanted to subdivide his property, it would not be approved unless he used a 60 foot right-of-way. The County Attorney said he was satisfied Mr. P. Scott would give an additional 30 feet on the east side of the road if he wants to develop it. Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, to approve the minor subdivision with a partial width right-of-way subject to a statement being placed on the plat that this is a partial width right-of-way and further subdivision will require creating a 60 foot easement. Vote: ayes, 3; noes, 0. The County Attorney said it might be more appropriate to make a notation an the plat of Kent Scott and the deed of P. Scott.

He said an A T & T line does cross the property. Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, to accept the Planning Board's recommendation to deny Mr. Gates request for rezoning from residential to general commercial. Mr. Gates requested the full Board be present before voting on this motion Commissioner Willhoit withdrew his motion. Commissioner Whitted asked this item be placed on the third Tuesday's agenda when all five members of the Board would be present.
