in the New Petersburg project. He noted the flooding of his property last year. He said this is a very bad area for flooding. The water stays on top of the soil. June Connors, 998 Fine Road, Linden, asked about maintenance of the drainage ditch. She said she would not want the water to back up onto her property. Mr. Lopez, representing Public Works, said that the roadside ditch along Fine Road is maintained by the County. Alan Victor, Third Avenue, asked about maintenance of ditches along Vacco Road. A letter from Dave Pechan was submitted by staff. REBUTTAL: Mr. Seligman said there must be proper drainage; and they are concerned about that problem without any development. He said the County had not come out to the area to clean out the ditches for a long period of time. It was at the insistence of Mrs. Lindberg that the County did come out to help alleviate the problem. He said the identity of Vacco Road was not their decision. Regarding Mr. Vacco's request for a buffer, Mr. Seligman said his client is also concerned about privacy. Regarding access, he said the public safety standards would have to be implemented in regard to access. Clair Vacco asked that she be noted as being present. Comm. Bozzano said he had a telephone conversation with Mr. or Mrs. Lindberg prior to this hearing. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED Comm. Morri asked for clarification of some points made in the letters from County Counsel and Public Works. Mr. Lopez, representing Public Works, said that "facilities" refers to a roadside ditch. As to payment of fees, he said there would probably be an administration fee rather than a maintenance fee since the main- tenance is already being performed. He said there are no facilities to be maintained by a County Service Area. Comm. Bozzano asked Comm. Gillispie to comment on the right-of-way question. Comm. Gillispie said the right-of-way is a peculiar situation. If the right-of-way had been required on the three lots, it would have solved a major portion of the problem. He said it might be possible to go through condemnation across the north. Mr. Bruno, Deputy County Counsel, explained condemnation procedures. MOTION: Moved, seconded (Carter -Gabbard) and carried by a majority roll call vote to: PC: 7/16/87 - 6 - MINUTES
