16 DRAFT 434 Charity Kirk: Clarifying Lamar's last question, the benefit of moving it is for future development 435 purposes and it's better that it's in one watershed versus the critical watershed. But this is 436 the correct boundary. 437 Lamar Proctor: That's right, from the surveying perspective, from a reality perspective and quite honestly, 438 the way that this works, they're entitled to that ridge line that was adopted by the county 439 commissioners and affirmed by the state, so this has more to do with helping staff not 440 have an inconsistency between the boundary line and an action that's already been taken. 441 Charity Kirk: But we can just change the line without surveying every single property along it. Okay. 442 Patrick Mallett: It unfortunately needs to be on a case-by-case basis as requested. We do provide some 443 relief to the property owner in the sense that this is more of our issue on the zoning 444 amendment of the overlay and it's a staff-initiated zoning. We're not asking them to pay 445 for what boils down to a mapping need. 446 Lamar Proctor: And I interpret your response and your answer to mean that effectively you help property 447 owners in terms of not creating some weirdly inconsistent engineering requirements for an 448 arbitrary line that doesn't follow the realities of water flow and would create headaches in 449 terms of civil engineering of any development on that particular parcel. 450 Patrick Mallett: Yes. 451 Chris Johnston: When we have a new applicant that comes before us, do they also have the survey team 452 go out to check and see where the water line actually is. 453 Patrick Mallett: That's what happened. Prior to the zoning or that train leaving the station. 454 Chris Johnston: So, any new development that comes before us is going to amend that little line. 455 Patrick Mallett: Record it as surveyors attesting that is the true ridge line. And then we notify the state and 456 then it goes to the county commissioners on an agenda so that they can receive that 457 information and accept it. 458 Chris Johnston Gotcha. So, the line will fix itself as time moves on. 459 Patrick Mallett: Yeah. You're going to see probably more of these. Not a huge amount, but I can say in 460 the years that I've been here, we've run across this, this is not uncommon to see a line 461 that's like, this clearly is an error. 462 Chris Johnston Okay. 463 Patrick Mallett: In years past the path to resolve that was fairly ambiguous and muddled. I think now the 464 state is pretty clear on what they want, what we legally need to do to fix these things, so 1 465 think you'll see a few more of these. 466 Chris Johnston And then my follow-up question was, so this is by a surveyor who has sealed it which 1 467 assume means that they have attested by their honor or whatever the case may be, in 468 what realm would we push back on something like that? At what point would we say, no, 469 we don't think this is right because this line looks goofy or whatever? And if there would 470 never be an opportunity or reason for us to push back, why would it come to us? 471 Patrick Mallett: Because we have an overlay boundary that needs to be amended.
