The Board recessed at 5:30 p.m. to attend a public hearing on
the proposed revision to the Jefferson County Subdivision Ordinance.
PUBLIC HEARING, 7:30 p.m., PROPOSED REVISION, JEFFERSON COUNTY SUBDIVISION
ORDINANCE:
Chairman Mercer called the hearing to order. Planning Director
Dave Cunningham reported that the Planning Department has had three meetings
with real estate people, title insurance companies, bankers, surveyors, and
department heads. Also the Planning Commission has had a public hearing.
The Board reviewed the proposed changes. Some minor changes were discussed.
One subject of concern discussed by the Board, the Planning Director,
Health Sanitarian Randy Durant and Prosecuting Attorney Bill Howard,
has to do with approval of a short subdivision without the approval of
the Health Department. According to the Subdivision Ordinance a short sub-
division must conform with public health and sanitation requirements.
Sometimes situations occur where it would be appropriate to take exception
to this requirement. However, there should be some procedure whereby the
potential purchaser is informed that the short plat will not meet current
public health and sanitation requirements for water supply and waste
disposal. Prosecuting Attorney Howard will prepare the proper wording for
the necessary instruments to notify potential purchasers. No one appeared
to give testimony. Chairman Mercer closed the hearing.
After the hearing the Board recessed to Tuesday to attend the
Health Board meeting at 9:30 a.m. at the Health Department. After the
Board meeting the Board reconvened to interview applicants for a computer
programmer. The Board interviewed four applicants and hired John Achey
as the new programmer. The Board recessed again to Thursday eveing to
attend a hearing on the Solid Waste program. The Board adjourned after
this meeting.
