11:09:35 AM Commissioner Murdock Comments, I would move that we accept the floodplain waiver and grant the floodplain waiver with the determinations entered into the staff record and discussed at length and addressed by the developer in his written supplement and his handout.

11:11:29 AM Motion passed unanimously.
11:11:36 AM Commissioner Murdock I would move that we approve the subdivision with all the conditions as written with an amendment to the one condition, was it 18? Or 27, that would change the word adjacent to neighboring and it would add a condition to the effect that there will be a written agreement that will appear on the plat and maybe, and also accompanying written agreement to the effect that your neighboring property to the west will be responsible for building the extension to that road, if and when they need it. You're not required to build it but that you're required to grant the right of way and not bar the construction of that plat or your successors and assigns, comments.

11:17:45 AM Chris Samuels Agrees
11:17:46 AM Discussion between Chris Samuels, Marty Lambert, and Tim Skop. Tim Skop suggests changing it from "upon the granting of final plat approval for the Waterstone Estates Major Subdivision to pursuant to the granting".
11:19:49 AM Commissioner Murdock If you're in agreement to that I would amend my motion to include the language that Marty and Tim have drafted.
