CONSENT AGENDA 11-10-04
Jones moved approval of the following Consent Agenda:

  • Approve Commissioners Order No. 5268. Order is on file in the office of the County Clerk.

Johnson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.

ZONING 11-10-04
The Board discussed a request received by George & Judy Paley to grant a variance of the 250' road frontage requirement along a public road required by Home Rule Resolution No. HR-03-11-5. The property is located in Section 34, Township 13 South, Range 19 East containing 39.99 acres. Keith Dabney, Director of Zoning & Codes, noted that he did not believe the Paleys knew of the 250' road frontage requirement when they purchased the property on February 1, 1996. They currently have approximately 182' of frontage and would not be able to obtain a building permit without the variance or unless the property is approved to rezoned and platted. Dabney also noted that since the subject property is not within the Urban Growth Area and is not contiguous to another subdivision, it would be extremely difficult to receive approval to rezone and plat. Dabney recommended approval of the variance to allow the construction of one dwelling with the stipulation that no divisions be allowed unless the property is rezoned and platted and the road developed to County standards.

Jones stated he would have a tough time granting a variance and suggested that the Paleys work with Wakarusa Township to extend the road far enough to get the 250' frontage or improve the road another 70' and dedicate the road to Wakarusa Township. No action was taken.

OUT-DISTRICT TUITION STATEMENTS 11-10-04
Johnson moved approval of the seventeen (17) Out-District College Tuition Statements in the amount of $134,400; Jones seconded and the motion carried with McElhaney opposed.

 Jones made a motion to adjourn; Johnson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
