NEW BUSINESS: Commissioner Johnson referred to a request from Mr. Horace
Hutchinson pertaining to the inclusion of a statement in county building/occupancy permits about
whether or not a person had knowingly violated any county ordinances. Johnson said he knew the
county could not enforce deed restrictions.
Attorney Pope said he recollected that Mr. Hutchinson had requested a process whereby
people applying for building permits would sign a statement saying that to the best of their
knowledge, there were no deed restrictions or other restrictions, i.e., wetlands, historic regulations,
or other provisions that would prevent the property from being used for the purpose that it was being
permitted. Pope said the permit could have a disclaimer saying there might be other restrictions that
applied to the property.
Mr. Pope said he didn't think the process would be too cumbersome. He said it might prove
to be helpful.
Johnson asked if the statement would expose the county to any liability, or obligation, to
entbrce any deed restrictions.
Pope said the vcrbiage would have to be worked out in the disclaimer.
Niblock said that as long as there was a disclaimer indicating the county did not have to
enforce deed restrictions that he was agreeable.
