Wojt was not present due to an excused absence. The Board met In a briefing session with Community Services Director David Goldsmith. Bill Brown re: Petition for Paving Schwartz Road on Marrowstone Island: Bill Brown came before the Board to discuss paving Schwartz Road on Mar- rowstone Island. He presented a petition with 11 signatures from area residents asking that this road be paved. Commissioner Brown asked If Mr. Brown had talked with the Public Works about this request? Mr. Brown reported that he had discussed this with Earl Wells, Road Maintenance Supervisor. The southern portion of this road Is paved (2/3 of a mile) but It Is narrow, rough and has potholes. Earl Wells felt road construction would be required before It could be re-paved. Mr. Brown noted that he Is a registered professional engineer and he would be willing to do as much of the necessary paperwork as possible to get the ,project going. He added that the older narrow portion of the road would require rlght- of-way acquisition. Commissioner Brown stated that Information Is needed on the traffic that uses the road before a determination can be made regarding where It would fit In the County's road construction program. Bill Brown stated that the gravel road wasn't bad when his was the only residence at the end of the road, but now there are 28 people that live on this road. The Increased traffic use has created the washboard and pothole problems. Commissioner Brown stated that the Board will discuss this request with Earl Wells and the County Engineer. Mr. Brown will check back with the Board at a later date. Declaring a Three Month Moratorium on All Development Activity Formerly Regulated by the Jefferson County Development Code. Ordinance No. 3-89. Including Industrial and Commercial Activities. Multi-Family Developments. Home Businesses. Signs and Temporary Structures: Planning and Building Department Director Craig Ward reviewed the draft resolution to declare a three month moratorium on all development activity previously regulated by the Jefferson County Development Code. This emergency measure Is necessary because the County did not receive a stay of a Court order (#89-2-00646-7) declaring the County's Development Code null, void and without any effect. While the appeal process proceeds the alternatives are to draft a new Develop- ment Code, or Interim regulations. Until this Is done the County has no authority to condition development activities that were formerly addressed under the 'Jot. 1 7 rAGf 00 1281i.J , 't':~ I Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of November 4, 1991 Page: 2 Development Code and there Is the potential for environmental damage In that period. The Planning Department recommends that a moratorium be Imposed to allow the time necessary for development of Interim regulations. Prosecuting Attorney Mark Huth reported that as long as the moratorium Is brief In duration and based on an emergency It should withstand legal challenge. He suggested that a paragraph be added to the fourth page stating "Whereas the Jefferson County Boord of CommIssIoners fInds that the facts cIted above evIdence that an emergency exIsts In Jefferson County." Commissioner Brown suggested that the last paragraph be amended to say that the moratorium shall remain In effect for three months or until an Interim control can be developed, whichever period Is shorter. Commissioner Brown moved to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 105-91 with the addition of a paragraph that the Board finds that an emergency exists and that the final paragraph be amended to state the moratorium shall be In effect for 90 days or until Interim regulations are adopted, whichever Is shorter. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote. Craig Ward then reported that after discussions with several consultants It ap- pears that generating an EIS for the Development Code will cost In excess of $10,000 which requires that the IIRequest for Quallflcatlonsll process be Initiated for this work. Commissioner Brown moved to approve advertising a Request for Statement of QualificatIons for the hiring of a consulting firm to produce an EIS on the County's Development Code. Chairman Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
