the platting requirements for the ;purchase of some :property adjacent to their existing facility. The property is
located in the E.T.J. of College Station just east of Welibarn Road at the Greens Prairie cutoff.. Mr. Darrell
Ambler is desiring to sell a wo acre tract of land contiguous to Wellborn Water Supply's existing facility in
order`.-that they may expand their operation. This two acre tract is out of a 12.75 acre tract that was previously
.platted for the old townsite of Wellborn according to mr. Hugh Lindsay, Attorney at Law. Wellborn Water
.Supply's justification for the variance is to allow the process to be expedited in order that they can expand
their operations as soon as possible: The applicant did not identify a hardship other than timing. In: the
.absence of a legitimate hardship, staff would have to recommend:. upholding the ordinance. In this particular
case, waiving the platting requirements does not compromise the public interest as 'there are no rights-of-way
or easements invo ved and utilities :are provided by others. However, one of the benefits of platting,
maintaining clear land records, would not be achieved.
.General Manager of Wellborn Water Supply, Mike Hensarling, approached the Commission and explained
that when. the land was contracted; the seller was not aware of any platting requirements. The owner cannot
afford to have he engineering work necessary for a final plat and Wellborn Water Supply is note willing to pick

Wellborn Water Supply...:: Commissioner Lane seconded he motion which passed, (5 - 1}; Commissioner Smith
voted in ..opposition:: to the motion.
