No. 2. Marshall Manors Subdivision: Request for restricted road and waiver of lot size requiremen'
for individual well and septic systems. (Deferred from March '12, 1975.)
Mr. Tucker said there are 41 lots shown on the plat. Five have already been recorded. There
are eight lots in the subdivision which are below the minimum requirements of 60,000 square feet and
these lots require a waiver. The property is zoned R-1. The average lot size if 2..3 acres, with
the minimum lot size being 1.14 acres. This restricted road is for Rima~Ridge Road and will serve
only three lots. The Planning Commission approved the waiver of minimum lot size and they also
recommend approval of the restricted ro~d with the following conditions:
1)
and 2)
The County Engineer's approval of road plans for the restricted road;
County Attorney's approval of~the deed restrictions concerning the
restricted road.
Mr. Fisher asked the minimum acreage required by the Subdivision Ordinance for Ri. Mr. Tucker
said it is 1.38 acres or 60,000 square feet. Mr. Fisher asked if these lots were put to record
before adoption of the new ordinance. Mr. Tucker said no. There was a preliminary plat on file,
but it expired a year ago.
Mr. William Roudabush was present to represent the applicant. He said the preliminary plat
was presented several years ago, based on the subdivision ordinance in existence at that time. The
final plat was drawn and ready to be submitted, but Mr. Marshall decided to build the roads to state
standards, at his leisure. During that .time, requirements changed. The roads have now been complet~
but without final stone and surface treatment. The plat has been redrawn to alter lot lines to
conform to the 60,000 square feet requirement where this could be done without losin~ lots. Mr.
Roudabush said percolation has been no problem. The wells drilled do deliver a sufficient quantity
of water. This request is for a restricted road to serve lots 11, 12 and 13. The remalnder of the
roads in Marshall Manors will be State-maintained. The Highway Department has approved plans for
the road.
Motion was offered by Mr. Wood to approve a waiver of minimum lots sizes as recommended by the
Planning Commission and a restricted road, with deed restrictions'approved by the County Attorney's
Office. The motion was second, ed by Mr. Carwile and carried by the following recorded vote:
