Attorney to look into the ideas earlier advanced by Air, riax Kennedy and
attempt to prepare an Ordinance built around this concept. (Nir. Kennedy
earlier had suggested that if an Ordinance was enacted, it should be one
that made it a crime to carelessly or negligently handle a firearm in such
a manner that is likely to endanger the safety and property of others.)
,,.. In the event the Attorney is unable to incorporate this concept into
Ja77
an Ordinance, then the Attorney should attempt to clarify the proposed
Ordinance by rewriting Section B, clearly pointing out is relationship
to Section lA and LC.

Jeff Gladhill, representing the County Attorney, advised the
Board of Commissioners that under this Gantract the County would
have the same enforcement powers to prohibit sale of lots in Robins
Wood Development it would have, had the subdivision plat of Robins
Wood not been recorded.
commissioner Whitted inquired if the County has authority to
accept a Contract restricting the sale of lots in Robins tload pending
completion of the road system there?
r:r. Gledhill replied that it would be difficult to answer this
question since no Supreme.Caurt cases have been heard that litigated
this general area. However, he felt this agreement would not take
away any of the injunctive powers the County presently possesses to
restrict lot sales in Robins wood. sn effect, this agreement with-
draws the plats that are presently on record and controls the sale
of lots .in the newly proposed plat of the subdivision pending the
completion of the road system or the furnishing of a satisfactory
bond guaranteeing road construction.

Regulating the Sale of Lots in the Robins Woad Development.
