ZONING & CODES/WALK-ON ITEM 01-30-13
Linda Finger, Interim Director of Zoning and Codes, asked the Board to consider approving Subdivision Regulations exemptions to developed parcels on approved private roads.

Staff recommended the following Proposed Administrative Policy:
 
Residentially developed land parcels on record at the Register of Deeds on or before December 31, 2006 that take access from an approved private road, with a recorded easement at the Register of Deeds office on or before December 31, 2006, are eligible for property division under section 11-101(d) (2) EXEMPTIONS of the Subdivision Regulations without meeting or complying with:
- the Access Management Regulations (Chapter IX, Article 5 of the County Code), minimum (public) road frontage and minimum spacing requirements; and
- the Height, Area and Bulk Requirements in section 12-318 of the Zoning Regulations (Chapter XII, Article 3 of the County Code), minimum dimensional requirements.
 
Undeveloped land parcels on record at the Register of Deeds on or before December 31, 2006 that take access from an approved private road, with a recorded easement at the Register of Deeds office on or before December 31, 2006, are eligible for property division under section 11-101(d)(2) EXEMPTIONS of  the Subdivision Regulations for non-residential building permit purposes.

There was discussion that the minimum road frontage issue isn't a concern on private roads as those roads are not maintained by the County. Because these private roads were approved prior to the adoption of the Access Management Regulations (AMR) adopted in October 2006 and are on record, it was the consensus the Board agrees with Staff recommendation.

Gaughan opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.

Flory moved to approve staff's recommendation for the Proposed Administrative Policy as listed above to interpret private road access for road easement recorded prior to December 31, 2006. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0. 

APPOINTMENT 01-30-13
Flory moved to appoint Carol Seager to the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Board for a three-year term to expire 03/31/16. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE 01-30-13
Gaughan moved to approve accounts payable in the amount of $1,718,381.36 to be paid on 01/31/13. Motion was seconded by Flory and carried 3-0.

Gaughan moved to adjourn the meeting; Thellman seconded and the motion carried 3-0.
