Newport Magisterial District.
No one appeared. in favor or in opposition. The
Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval
for a period of five years, said Mr. Lewis.
Planning Director Lewis stated the original conditional
use permit was approved September 20, 1984 for a period of
three years and Mr. Cundiff had not been able to complete
preparation and arrangement of financing for his home, and
therefore, he is seeking a permit for an additional period
of time to allow him to construct a permanent residence.
Supervisor Ross questioned why the Planning Commission
recommended approval for five years rather than three years
which has been the policy.
Following discussion, Supervisor Bailey moved the Board
approve the application of Robert and Hazel Cundiff for a
conditional use permit to locate a mobile home for their
son, Mark Cundiff, while he is building a residence on .5
acre of land located on Route 712, Vellines Lane, in Newport
Magisterial District for a period of three years. The
motion carried unanimously.

Planning Director Lewis made the following report:
The Planning Commission reviewed a proposed plat for
this subdivision during its meeting on March 10, 1987.
Although water system plans were not complete at that
time, .the Commission voted unan mcusly to recommend
approval provided the entrances to Lots 1, 19, 23 and
24 were only from interior streets of the subdivision
and on~.y one curb cut each (driveway entrance) was
provided for Lots 33 and 34 and Lots 36 and 37•to Rout:
600. The proposed plat was presented to the Board of
Supervisors on April 2, 1987 and the recommendation of
the Commission was unanimously accepted by the Board
of Supervisors.
At this time, the water system plans have been.
completed and approved by all reviewing agencies
including the Health Department which has issued a
construction permit for the system. The road
construction plans have been approved by the
Department of Highways.

Approval of the subdivision is recommended provided
(1) Lots 1, 19, 23 and 24 shall have driveway entrances
only to interior streets of the subdivision and (2)
only one curb cut each (driveway entrance) shall be
provided for Lots 33 and 34 jointly and Lots 36 and 37
jointly. .
On motion of Supervisor Turner, the Board voted
unanimously to approve the Longview Acres subdivision plat,
a subdivision of 44 lots. located on Route 600 in the Newport
Magisterial District.
Relative to the construction bond for Longview Acres
subdivision, Mr. Lewis presented the following report: The
developers have submitted contracts showing the construction
costs for roads, $206,950.00, and water system $102,945.55
for the project and would like the county to set the amount
of bond. Mr. Crook should be able to advise you about the
suitability of using the contracts to set the bond amount.
October 15,1987
Page 416
If the contracts are acceptable, the amount of the bond
recommended, based on the contracts, is $340,885.10.
Supervisor Turner moved the Board approve the Longview
Acres Subdivision construction bond at $340,885.10.
William H. Riddick, attorney representing the
.applicants, appeared and presented letters from the
contractors relative to the. road and well work which has
been completed. Mr. Riddick stated $6,980.00 had been paid
for work on the water system and $138,600.00 had been paid
for road construction and he feels the completed work should
not be bonded because it is a permanent fixture and cannot
be moved.
Douglas Caskey, Community Development Director,
informed the Board members he had talked with Ray Evans, of
the Department of Highways and Transportation, who had been
requested to advise the County regarding the improvements
made. Mr. Caskey continued stating the grading work has
been done and the stone based installed. There is some
erosion problem evident on the site, no seeding has been
done and some devices have not been installed. Mr. Caskey
further stated Mr. Evans said the project is about 25$ to
30$ complete and if the seeding had been done it would be
about 35$ to 40$ complete.
Planning Director Lewis stated it has been the policy
to require the full amount of the bond be posted and remain
until ready to be accepted by the Department of Highways and
Transportation system. Mr. Lewis continued stating it is
necessary to know the number of houses before the Department
of Highways and Transportation will accept same, which could
be a long period of time and damage can occur which the
County would be responsible for.
Mr. Riddick stated the Board had allowed bonds to be
reduced and feels the developers should be given credit for
money already expended.
Following discussion, Supervisor Turner rescinded his
original motion and moved the Board set the construction.
bond for Longview Acres. subdivision at $260,000.00. The
vote in favor was unanimous.

James C. Rushing, III, President of Detention
Development Corporation, introduced his co-workers; John
Justice, Vice President; Bob Gibson, consultant; and Walter
Sheffield, legal advisor.
bIr. Rushing stated that rather than go through the
standard procedure of hiring an architect and putting the
project out to bids, he would suggest the County consider
using his firm's expertise in designing and building jails
and pointed out that they seek to develop solutions to the
dentention needs in any or all of five areas: (1)
design/consulting, (2) detention equipment, (3) cell
fabrication/erection, (4) general contracting and (5)
financing.
Mr. Rushing proposed a structure with pods for housing
prisoners. The pods are like spokes on a wheel with a
central control point in the middle. More pods can be added
as necessary and without disturbing the jail operation. Mr.
Rushing stated he understood the county has received
favorable response from the United States Marshal's Office
about housing federal prisoners in a county jail. Mr.
Rushing further commented that the County would receive
money for construction in return for a lease on a certain
number of beds that would be available for the Marshal's
Office. The County would also receive a federal per diem
payment for each prisoner housed in the jail.

Mr. Rushing stated the jail could be constructed within
16 months for a cost of $4.5 million. Mr. Rushing also
stated his plans are highly recommended by the State
