Unanimous Art Quigley, owner, Killipie Beach Plat, appeared regarding the installation of the plat water system. Hr. Quigley is under contract to install the water lines, but due to unstable soil conditions within the plat, the Board is concerned that subsequent construction could cause a slide. The problem being, how to protect future lot owners, and yet not cause undue hardship to Hr. Quigley's position. Pros. Attny. Howard submitted a proposed resolution requiring that prior to issuance of any building permit, the applicant for permit must provide the county with the report of a licensed civil engineer knowledgeable in the practice of soils engineering or of , a geologist. The resolution would be filed in the Auditor's Office, with copies and notifi- cation sent to the building inspector, Health and Planning departments, record lot owners, and all people involved, to alert people to the fact tnat there is a potential problem and these kinds of reports are required. Pros. Howard feels a soil report should not be required for the installation of water lines due to request being filed prior to adoption of the resolution. Plann. Dir. Cunningham advised the Uniform Building Code permits the re- quirement for a geological report when there is an apparent potential instability of property that can affect single family dwellings. Hr. Quigley said he believes the property is buildable, but he recognizes the county's concern. If this resolution is a solution he thinks the Board should give it serious consideration - he just doesn't want the property literally con- demmed. He will neither support nor recommend against the passage of the resolution, but will accept what the county feels necessary. Cunningham also advised that a threshold determination has to be made on whether or not an environmental impact statement need be prepared for the water line installation. After further discussion, it was determined to sign a proposed declaration of non-significance for the installation of the water system, with the declaration containing notice of the resolution, its intent and proposed adoption after the fifteen day waiting period. It was so moved by Commissioner Brown, and seconded by Commissioner O'Meara. Unanimous Bid award: for the furnishing of one (1) Wheel Loader as per bid call of April 11, 1977. Bid award delayed until this date to allow the lowest bidder an oppurtunity to demonstrate the capabilities of their loader. Notice was recently received that they are unable to furnish a machine for demonstration purposes. Therefore, it was moved by Commissioner O'Meara, seconded by Commissioner Brown to accept bid from Cal-Ore Equipment for the amount of $55,605.00 with trade in, as being the most advantageous to the county. Unanimous There being no further time to consider the remaining business, the meeting was recessed until 9:30a.m., Tuesday, May 10, 1977. ;VOL 3 PAGE 529 ,/ ,. -. ......' _ .,J.... ~inutes, week of Hay 9, 1977 con't. . p. 4 Hay 10, 1977 Heeting reconvened on this date with all members present. Ed Hansen, realator and developer, appeared regarding permit to open county roads. He and Daryl Hedman own lots that are unaccessable at the present time. They propose to log 10 foot access roads into the lots, and to log the lots to sell for building sites. The Board said if this were allowed, the developers would be selling lots with access only, not roads, and the lots are only 25 x 100 which are not buildable sites. It was determined to grant permit with the following restrictions: (1) skidder trails only; (2) landing areas at designated places on streets; and (3) any timber felled on the site shall be cold decked for county use.
