Discussion occurred regarding problems that would result from this amendment and Commr. Smoak removed his second and the motion died for lack of a second.
Mike Willett, Director of Development and Public Works, stated that the staff did not recommend deleting the word "paved" as he did not see where bringing the roads up to clay road standards would be beneficial unless the County was considering maintaining them, which was not the case. Mr. Willett stated that it was his feeling that by the time the County could realistically consider taking the roads into the County maintenance system, the roads would have deteriorated to the point that they would not be up to County standards.

e . The dedicated easement must be constructed and maintained to meet County maintained clay road standards at the expense of the property owner.
Mr. J. Vandermeer addressed the Board and suggested that the easements be restricted to the first five lots and if the property owner on the opposite side of the road wishes to create five lots that the Board require the road to be paved. Mr. Vandermeer was informed that this was not the intent of this regulation and that the easement could be used for property owners on each side of the easement.
Phyllis Cross addressed the Board regarding the wording of Section (d) regarding the length of the dedicated easement. Discussion occurred regarding the staff's interpretation of this Section.
On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board approved to amend the proposed Ordinance by clarifying Section (d) of the Ordinance to read as follows :
d. The dedicated easement to serve the Subdivision cannot be longer than 1,320 feet from a publicly maintained road and all lots must front entirely on the 1,320 foot easement.
MS. Johnnie Hale, Eustis, addressed the Board and expressed concern over the restrictions being imposed on property owners. Ms. Hale was informed of the background and the need for these restrictions and an explanation that the Ordinance under discussion concerned waivers only.
Discussion occurred regarding Section (a) of the proposed Ordinance requiring Agricultural zoning on every lot.
On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board approved to amend the proposed Ordinance and changed Section (a) of the Ordinance to read as follows:
a. Agricultural, Rural Residential, Rural Estates or Ranchette zoning on every lot.
