Ralph Buchanan had “problems” from the start even if the county required the easement as a condition of the’ lot split. Willie Curran wondered why the board was hearing-the matter instead of the NID. NID representatives took the position that the authority to act through the board was derived from the Subdivision Act of 1972 and the county lot split or-dinance.

She reminded supervisors that they only were one public agency Tudsday; but if every one is to buy easements it would be an impact beyond NID. Ralph Buchanan complained that it was putting the board in the position of fighting or feet. He said he paid $1,300 an acre for the land and the right of way would take three quarters of an acre, for which he would accept the present market value.
