Atlee Richards, project developer, told the board the company is constructing infrastructure that affects both lots and has granted an electrical easement across Lot 2 to Lot 1 to accommodate a DuBois REMC connection to a substation. Richards said Lot 1 is not traversed by a watercourse and that a detention basin is being constructed on Lot 2.
County staff and the county engineer reviewed the subdivision file and said the perimeter public utility easement requirement in the subdivision ordinance was not met and that, because this is an electrical subdivision rather than a residential one, the committee recommended further review. "As part of the subdivision review... that requirement was not met," county staff said, and the county engineer recommended tabling the request to allow the subdivision review committee and staff to examine the broader implications and related documents.
The commissioners agreed to table the variance request and scheduled it for further consideration at their Nov. 17 meeting. The board did not deny or approve the variance on Nov. 3.
Ending: The variance request remains pending; staff and the subdivision review committee will gather additional documentation and the applicant may participate by phone on Nov. 17.
