ri 1r 8 us <br /> street, the means should be provided for the <br /> dedication of the right-of-way to be stubbed out <br /> at the property line. If there are no <br /> indications that an extension is needed, the <br /> County Attorney feels that there should be no <br /> right-of-way reservations and the County does not <br /> need to provide access for landlocked properties. <br /> Previously, the policy was reservation of right- <br /> . of-way and negotiations would occur between <br /> private owners for the use of the right-of-way. <br /> In this subdivision and future subdivisions where <br /> a collector street is desired or needed, the <br /> County would be providing assurance that the - <br /> right-of-way was already in place. <br /> Lewis noted that if this is to become a general <br /> policy he felt a restriction was being placed on <br /> private property and the owner was receiving no <br /> restitution.

Collins responded <br /> that the Adritinistration did review subdivisions <br /> being forwarded to the Commissioners and could <br /> recommend further study by the Planning Board. <br /> 'Jacobs noted that the Planning Board did not have <br /> to change its original recommendation. Yuhasz <br /> continued, asking how this reconsideration would <br /> fit into the time frame for decision. Collins <br /> responded that since the Planning Board had made <br /> a recommendation, it had met its time <br />
