safety.
Commissioner Williams said the only negative he could see in the amendment
would be that there would be an added cost.
Jackson said it potentially could; however, she had heard some developers say it
was harder to sell the lots having road frontage. She said the process might work out in
the developers' favor.
Commissioner Robertson asked how the people, who would be most impacted
by the amendment, would find out about it.
Jackson said normally, when subdivision amendments were approved, notices
were not sent; however, in this situation letters could be mailed to the homebuilders'
associations, surveyors, and any other associations that might be affected. She said
legal notices had already been published about the amendment, plus agendas and the
ordinances were posted on the county's web site.
No one else desired to speak, and Chairman Tice adjourned the hearing.
