“That's a good example of dividing lots away from the access road. Are they going to grant easements across there? Are they going to expect a separate approach for all those three lots? Are they going to use Sage Hill Drive to get to all those lots? Probably not.”

“Looks like it's already named Sage, or if they had a new one.”

“From Sage Hill. Go from the intersection of Sage Hill to like right about here. Just start at Sage Hill, right at that intersection. Oh, you drew it that way. So it would meet.”

“So it would meet separation down there, but does it go up or down? You just don't know.”

“To the other corner, to where the other road is. Just spin your mouse in circles. That'll be fine.”

“Is that on the introduction page? I always thought, what I thought I had heard before was three was the number that required, is that always been that, at least the unwritten policy was two or more?”

“Thank you. What are you talking about, Joe?”

“I mean, that's what I've been told, I thought, is when we were having Nate, is as soon as they hit three, that's when we required the road name, and in here it says two or more?”

“Okay. It was when they added a third. Because I've seen that before where we had that 30-foot split. Then they add another parcel or a family transfer. And when they add that third one, that's when we said, no, now you have to name it. So I've told people three or more. That's what I've been telling people because I've seen that.”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026

“in this case, family transfer, they had to rename the road, and that's when they were raising hell about how hard it was gonna be to rename, but I guess I didn't know that. I thought it was our policy of three or more, but it is two or more, and you need to name a road. Okay.”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026

“Just continuing on in the policy, the last sentence, it will be the discretion of GIS whether an approach requires a name or not. So you're going to tell somebody you have to or you don't have to based on what? I mean, it just seems like that is kind of ripe for... It seems like maybe if you had a criteria in there, do you have criteria you'd use for making that determination of whether you're going to make two or more? Is it 30 feet or less?”

“So behind or the, because those parcels could be. Split through a subdivision or family transfer process.”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026

“But a one-acre parcel could be family transfer.”

“When you say common approach, you mean... right off of three-mile splits versus having any sort of length to it. And that's any sort of length.”

“That's the certain area you're talking about.”

“So what about that scenario then in the future? you would say this scenario, no naming, but as soon as they do that, they have to name that or what? This is where this potentially happens right here is we allow them to have a three mile address right here for 10 years. then they, family, and these are just one acre lots, but they say family transfer this, build a little house back here, and you have this sort of weird scenario. Are you going to make them name this road or just for this parcel and they keep their three mile addresses or what happens in this scenario?”

“This neighbor is really frustrated right here because they're like, I didn't do this. I'm not going to divide mine. But now you're telling me I have to change everything.”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026

“I'm just saying, if you take this scenario here, and let's just say each one of these are 50-acre parcels here and here, does that change the situation?”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026
- Play at 11:14
“Let's say those, instead of doing one acres, you call them 50 acres, but their houses are right next to the road. They have big hay fields back here that each one's farming. And now all of a sudden it's like, oh, well, I have two kids back here or whatever. Name the road. You're going to make that person name the road as well that has that kind of common approach off there?”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026
- Play at 11:48
“I guess that's what I'm asking is what is the future development potential? Is the size of this parcel part of that equation, whether this is one acre or five acres or 10 acres? It has been in the past, yes.”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026

“OK. All I'm saying is during my time here, it hasn't happened a lot, but I'll bet it's happened three times at least where I've seen not that exact situation, but something somewhat similar where all of a sudden we come back on them and say, now you need to name the road. And they are really not very happy, especially like Greg said. And it's been this person right here who said, I've lived on this road. I've got an address established. My social security's coming to this address. It's gonna take me six months to get changed through social security, all these things. This is not my, these…”

“And is this, are we going back and applying this retroactively? Or is this only if there's a change? So if this situation exists today, we're not going to go out and say you need to name this. It's only if they apply for an alteration permit on a septic or go through some sort of change that would trigger naming that road?”
Commission · Sep 16, 2026

“move it would not apply retroactively retroactively it would moving forward so we're not going to go on accesses to make them change something would have to trigger the change to make a name correct okay”
