SUBJECT: Decision on appeal of Mary Lou Cox, (applicant & owner) ,
from Board of Appeals denial of appeal of Condition 2B(a)
from conditions of approval of Minor Subdivision 52-84 in
the Knightsen area.
The Board on December 4, 1984, closed the public hearing
and deferred decision to this date on the appeal of Mary Lou Cox,
(applicant & owner) from Board of Appeals denial of the appeal of
Condition 2B(a) from conditions of approval of MS 52-84 in the
Knightsen area; and
Supervisor Torlakson described the situation leading up to
the appeal filed by Mary Lou Cox and stated that at one time , this
application had been approved without the conditions of Collect and .
Convey, and commented that the approval expired because the applicant
did not meet the time limits for filing of the subdivision map, and
stated that the applicant then went through the process of filing a
new map. Supervisor Torlakson inquired of County Counsel if there
were any procedures whereby the applicant could appeal the decision
that the map had expired; and
Victor Westman, County Counsel , advised that when a ten-
tative map is approved there is a period to come back to the County
with a parcel map, and stated that the applicant can ask for an
extension, but that it is necessary to file a request for extension
within the period of the original approval , and advised that it has
been over a year and a half past the period in which a request for
extension could have been filed; and
Supervisor Torlakson commented that the Public Works
Department had done some research as to whether there have been any
variances of the Collect and Convey requirements in this area; and
Dave Jewett , County Public Works Department , stated that
no variances had been granted in recent years on less than 10 acre
parcels , and commented that although he sympathized with the applicant
in this situation, he did not feel he could recommend a variance from
the patterns folowed for the last four years; and
Supervisor Torlakson advised that he had toured the subject
property, and stated that under the circumstances his recommendation
would be to deny the appeal .
Board members having considered the matter, IT IS ORDERED
that the recommendation of Supervisor Torlakson is APPROVED and the
appeal of Mary Lou Cox from the Board of Appeals denial of appeal of
condition 2B(a) from conditions of approval of Minor Subdivision
2B(a) is DENIED .
