Mr. Gustavson said he is agreeable to the terms of acceptance. Motion by Commissioner O'Meara, second by Commissioll3r Brown to accept the new road, constructed by Gus - tavsons', and to maintain it as completed by Gustavson'sis it's finished condition/with no future improvements by the County. Unanimous. Preliminary Hearing, Plat of Palmer's Homes ite Addition to Cape George Colony. Hearing wa s he ld in the Courtroom due to the Commissioner's room being to small to accommodate the large number of people attending. Planning Director, David Cinningham explained the history of the proposed plat, and with the aid of maps, de- Signated the location of the new and existing roads and lots. He stated that Mr. Palmer purposes to use the privately owned roads, belonging to the Cape George Colony, and the water system, also belonging to the Cape George Colony. Because of this proposal, the Planning Commission requested (letter dated lanuary 18, 1974) and received a "letter of intent!' from Mr. Walter H. Turner, President Cape George Colony Club (duted February 6, 1974) sta tln'd that' pl.ffchasers of the lots must been me members of the Club, and upon acceptance would be afforded the same privileges as any other members. However, they feel the Club is entitled to compensation equal to the value of the facilities the current membership now owns, and a committee has been formed to determine the "equitable compensation. Therefore, based upon recommendations from. the Planning Commission, the Health Dopartment, the Engineers Department and the "letter of intent" from the Cape George Colony Club, the Planning Department recommends approval subject to the conditions set forth by the said Departments. Randall Durl:mt, District Sanitarian, stated the the Division of Health has approved the addition. of 12 lots to the present water system, and after inspection by h~s department, finds that soil and lot size are satisfactory for the installation and operation of septic tanks and drainfields, and therefore, recommends approval as it pertains to public health. Approval of water line extension engineering proposal by tho Depal:tment of Social & Health Services, Div~aion of Health, water supplies and waste section is required before final approval. He stated further that no evidence has been submitted to the state, or his office, suggesting a water shortage and if the lot owners doubt the availability, Cape George Colony and Mr. Palmer should hire a ldcensed engineer to conduct a survey and present thier findings to the state. Cal McCune, Attorney, represented Mr. Robert P. Haugland in his decision that Mr. Palmer does not have the leqal right to use the water, roadways and Cape George Colony Development for anyone b\.t himself, his wife and his successors, due to the covenants in the Statutory Warranty Deed reserving that parcel of land as a "homesite" for one residentia 1 unit. Also, the primary developers of Cape George Colony agreed to limit the number of lots that could exist at the Colony and the V1llage to 657 lots. If this pla t is allowed to develop, the number would be increased by 12. And, he feels the water situation is one very important question still to be resolved. A.C. Grady, Attorney, speakinq for Mr. Palmer, stated his opinion differed from that of Mr. McCune's inter- pretation of the wordinq in the covenant, and that other attorneys are of the same opinion 6S he. To verify his statement, Mr. Grady read a letter from Attorney Frank Plat, which stated" this reservation contains no express- ed denial of the right to subdivide the "homesite." Mr. Grady also said that according to the engineers report at the time well no. 4 was drilled, there would be adequate water supply for all the lots, assuming thllt the well retains the production capability indicated, and there are now 450 vacant lots. Thorofore, tho wator Gupply should not be a pro~lem. Attorney Glen Abraham, Counsel for the C~pe George Colony Club, Inc., advised that the Colony Club haa not taken a pOSition that Mr. Palmer is not permitted leqally to plat the area in question and does not oppose the platting as such, however, (1) no permiSSion hu bsen granted or agreement reached, with regatd to the common aSGets; (2) the Club cannot guarantee any source of water or assume any responsibility of providing water; and (3) issu()s have not been resolved, or even negotiated regarding compensation.
