County Commissioners Meet, OK Development

Platting for a new development, Woodard Pointe Estates in Woodward Hollow, was approved at the regular Monday meeting of the Delaware County Commissioners. Some 12 homes will be built in the $150,000-$200,000 range on a 9-acre point overlooking Woodward Hollow and out to the main lake. Septic systems will be used except on two lots where aerobic systems will be used.
Commission Bruce Poindexter said the new county budget for 2005-2006 would be ready for review in a couple of weeks.
The board again tabled approval for a mixed beverage application from Chiggers, which is near NewSong Church. State law requires a 300 foot separation between the two and commissioners want to "put a tape measure on it" and review documents in the Assessor's office.
Commissioners also approved posting of new speed limit signs on county roads at the county lines, of 45 miles per hour at a cost of up to $100 per sign for 18 signs. This will assist in prosecution of speeders arrested by the Highway Patrol, which is currently arresting people for speeding over the 45 mile limit even though no signs are posted.
In response to a question, Poindexter said there had never been a case when splitting of bids occurred, regardless of the circumstances or changes in requirements. "This is strictly against State Statutes," he said.
