RURAL FRINGE ADOPTION AMENDMENT
Mark Strain had a series o£ questions to be answered by Bob Mulhere. Mr. Strain
noticed that in a letter £rom the SW Regional Planning Council, they referred that
population density can be increased in the Rural Fringe by 15,000 more units. He
questioned i£ this was accurate. Mr. Mulhere stated there was a potential
population density increase, but not by that number. Mr. Strain noted that they
are increasing the development, not by width, but by intensity. Mr. Mulhere
agreed, but added there would be a decrease in transportation.
Mr. Strain questioned about the intensification o£ agricultural use in Sending
lands. Mr. Mulhere stated that they are not allowed t° intensify and they would
be subject to the Best Management Practices and the Right to Farm Act. Mr.
Strain questioned about increasing density blending in the NRPA lands. Mr.
Mulhere noted that there was a limitation and he displayed these areas on the
map. Mr. Strain noted that portions o£the area Mr. Hancock was concerned with
were going to be opened to density blending. Mr. Strain's concern was that there
would be an increase in intensity, which would damage the area in becoming
valuable wetlands. He stated that they may need to preserve wetlands in the first
one mile. Mr. Mulhere agreed and added that their data indicates that is the case.
It was clarified that there were hundreds of workshops and meetings. Mr. Strain
noted that on page 37 of the FLUE, they encouraged TDRs in the residential infiI1.
He questioned if they could link this to affordable housing. Mr. Mulhere stated
they did not want to require someone building affordable housing to purchase
TDRs. He suggested there could be a unit bonus if they build workforce housing
or they could get a unit bonus if they purchase a TDR. He added they needed to
define workforce-housing language and make some market incentives. Mr. Strain
felt this was an important step. Mr. Schmitt discussed the difference between
low-income housing and workforce housing.
On page 38, Mr. Strain questioned what was the maximum density that could be
achieved with TDRs. David Weeks stated that this current TDR language is only
applicable to the Urban area and it is a certain % of the underlying density that
can be transferred. On page 39, Mr. Strain noted there was a provision in density
blending, that if you're in the commercial node, you can convert the commercial
to 16 units of residential per acre. He asked if this would occur in the Rural
Fringe areas, especially in the Mirasol area. Mr. Mulhere stated they could
through the rezoning process and he didn't see it as a problem because the only
places where this could happen are in fully excavated properties within the
proposed Heritage Bay. Mr. Strain asked if the density blending could be limited
to conditions in PUDs so they would be assured they would get a review of it..
Mr. Mulhere agreed and said they would be required to come in through a PUD
amendment or rezone. Mr. Strain was concerned that since the lands in question
were in a Neutral area, and on page 53, it states that density blending can be
transferred from Sending lands to Receiving lands, wouldn't they be preventing
the use of TDRs. Mr. Mulhere answered that this was a different situation, it was
not density blending, and they couldn't transfer without any Receiving lands.
On page 49, Mr. Strain asked what was the intent of the NRPAs, was it to
preserve valuable habitat and wetlands. Mr. Lorenz agreed. Mr. Strain noted that
a lot of the NRPA uses that are allowed wouldn't preserve the habitat as intended.
Mr. Lorenz stated that the uses for the NRPA lands are set forth by the
Conservation designation and he added that the uses on page 49 are the interim
uses. Mr. Mulhere added that on page 5 in the Errata #3, it stated that permitted
and conditional uses for publicly owned lands with an NRPA overlay shall be
those as set forth under the Conservation designation.
Mr. Strain questioned why group-housing uses is located under Ag/Mixed-Use
district. Ms. Student answered that under the federal Fair Use Housing Act,
anywhere they permit single families, then you must permit a similar facility for
the handicapped, and it is analogous for multi-family facilities. Mr. Mulhere
clarified that there were these amendments because the ORC raised questions
about the lack of definition for intensity and density, which have since been
corrected. He noted that the LDC allowed for these uses in Ag.

On page 55, Mr. Strain asked about the uses of Receiving lands and its relation to
golf courses. He then asked to build a golf course in Receiving with 110 acres,
how many TDRs would be needed. Mr. Mulhere stated it was 1 per 5, but it was
equivalent to the base density. Mr. Strain clarified that for 110 acres, you have 22
base density, so you would need to purchase 22 more. Mr. Mulhere agreed. Mr.
Strain noted that if you were building residential in a Receiving area, it was 1 to 1.
He was concerned that this was putting a burden of cost on a residential person
that was greater than the burden placed on the golf course. Mr. Mulhere
disagreed and stated that this was completely voluntary in residential, but the golf
courses are required to purchase 1 TDR for every residential unit as a base
density. Mr. Strain believed this could penalize smaller houses and seemed like a
means to build more golf courses. Mr. Mulhere disagreed.
(Lindy Adelstein arrived at 9:15 A.M.)
On page 62, Mr. Strain mentioned that there has been a lot of discussion about the
county landfill and he felt that this seemed to indicate it's providing expansion
capabilities for the county landfill. Mr. Mulhere said technically no, somewhat
yes. Mr. Strain stated that the objective was to utilize the landfill as best they
could, but look for other locations to get it moved. He asked how they could
justify this if they are now giving provisions to expand it. Mr. Weeks stated that
the recovery facility is the intent, and it is not intended to allow for an expansion
of the landfill. Mr. Strain stated his concern was over the language "including
solid waste".
On page 66, Mr. Strain noted there was an affordable housing density bonus in the
Urban area, and asked if this applied at all in the Rural Fringe area. Mr. Mulhere
stated it did not. On page 67, Mr. Strain asked what period in time is it supposed
to attain fiscal neutrality. Mr. Mulhere stated a report would be done that
demonstrates that the project will not result in impacts to county taxpayers as a
result of public facilities and services. On page 68, Mr. Strain asked if the Board
of County Commissioners or the school board was involved when a school is
provided a credit for any applicable school impact fees. Mr. Mulhere believed the
school board needed to be involved. Ms. Student suggested adding a provision.
On page 77, Mr. Strain noted the language that said, "...contains locally scarce
department of transportation grade rock for road construction". Mr. Strain stated
that this language should be removed without scientific data and wasn't
necessary. Mr. Adelstein questioned the 12 units per acre reference on page 81.
Mr. Weeks stated that this was an amendment dealing with the reallocation of
dwelling units. Mr. Adelstein asked if affordable housing could be added in, and
Mr. Weeks agreed and added that 16 units was the cap. Mr. Adelstein found this
difficult to accept. Mr. Mulhere stated that this would be dangerous to try to
change at this time. Mr. Adelstein stated he had no problem with the 12 units, but
was concerned about the affordable housing add-on. Mr. Strain noted that they
couldn't deal with this issue today because they would have to readvertise. Mr.
Weeks stated he would have staff take a look at this and give more information.
Mr. Strain noted on page 24 of the CCME, it stated that native vegetation clearing
allowance shall be allowed at a minimum of 20%, he suggested it be maximum.
There was some discussion about the wording, and it was decided that they should
add in "guaranteed not to exceed". On page 28, policy 6.2.3, Mr. Strain asked if
the rural and estates aren't part of the Rural Fringe, why was there language
referencing areas outside the Rural Fringe. Mr. Mulhere explained that the
amendments don't just apply to the Rural Fringe. Mr. Lorenz stated that the
proposal is to defer to the federal and state agencies in their issuance of a permit
for single-family residences. Mr. Strain suggested that they have someone
keeping track of the preserve or wetland areas so they can show some contiguous
connections as properties come in for permit. Mr. Mulhere stated this was a good
point and the county could create a database of where the wetlands are located
and the agencies can concur with it. Mr. Strain said this was a good theory, but
nothing was on paper. Mr. Lorenz added that on page 35 there was a section
where they could add in a commitment to follow through with this suggestion.
Mr. Strain thought that would cause fewer problems.
On page 31, policy 6.2.5, Mr. Strain suggested they add language discussing
changes in hydro periods as an impact to the wetlands. Mr. Lorenz stated this
would require greater expertise to determine. He suggested that they could add a
policy which utilizes the language that draw-downs and impacts to water levels
shall be consistent with the Water Management Districts procedures. On page 38,
Mr. Lorenz showed where it referenced the SW Florida Water Management
District's procedure for determining hydrological impacts and suggested adding
this language to the wetland policies. Mr. Strain suggested they use the word
"shall" and he would be comfortable. Mr. Adelstein agreed.
On page 42//3, Mr. Strain suggested that it state, "The county shall consider and
utilize recommendations that are consistent with the LDC policies in letters of
technical assistance from the USFWC". Mr. Lorenz clarified a previous
discussion and stated that they needed to add for NRPA overlays in Sending
lands, privately-owned lands within these NRPA overlays would be subject to the
Sending lands permitted and conditional uses. Mr. Strain had a question on the
sanitary sewer and sub-element. On page 2, the Standard Level of Services were
not consistent, and Mr. Litsinger noted that they are going to make changes.
Mr. Abernathy noted that they will take up the LDC item on Monday, June 10th.
Mr. Mulhere added three letters to the record that have been received. A letter
from Neil Montgomery on behalf of Paul p. Wiseman gave his support for density
blending. A letter from David A. Harnett expressed his belief that all property
owners should not be treated equal. Mr. Litsinger noted that he spoke with Mr.
Harnett and he requested in their conversation that the board considers something
4
other than the 1 to 1 transfer rate for TDRs. A letter from Crew Land & Water
Trust expressed concern over a potential increase of density in the Receiving area.
Mr. Strain handed out a sheet for discussion from the 6-6-02 meeting. Topic 1
was the EAC recommendations. Mr. Mulhere stated that they would limit the
allowance of golf courses in greenbelts by adding language that said no cleared or
turfed areas may extend into the required greenbelt more than 100 feet. Mr.
Strain added that they also asked to strike the word "first" from the language. Mr.
Abernathy asked if all were agreed (nodding of heads). Next, the EAC
recommended that agricultural uses be more restrictive after a property owner
uses the TDR program. The board had felt it would be appropriate to allow
continued use of the existing operations, not to be intensified. Mr. Budd noted
that they are required to maintain the habitat as it is currently written, so he did
not agree with the EAC's recommendation. Mr. Abernathy, Mr. Adelstein and
Mr. Strain agreed with Mr. Budd. Lastly, the EAC recommended the deletion of
the uses of sewer lines and lift stations from Conservation lands, Sending lands,
and NRPAs. Mr. Strain suggested making it conditional use when there wasn't a
right-of-way. Mr. Mulhere restated that they may traverse these identified lands
by utilizing existing right-of-ways or easements that have been cleared for that
purpose, otherwise it would be conditional use.
Topic 2, Mr. Mulhere restated that the commission's recommendation was to
include revisions of the infill TDR provisions to include incentives for workforce
housing.
Topic 3 concerned section 24. Mr. Abernathy suggested discussing sections 24,
25, 36, 31, and 30 all at Once, but Mr. Adelstein disagreed. Mr. Mulhere stated
that they were not all the same condition. He noted the staff's recommendation
was for section 24 to go to Neutral, but not the others in question. Mr. Adelstein
recommended they designate it Neutral, but they couldn't use the lands until the
study comes back. Mr. Strain believed they could have a problem if they
designated it Neutral and then tried to change it later. He suggested they make it
Neutral lands with Sending preservation requirements. Mr. Adelstein added that
they couldn't use the land until after the study had been concluded. Mr. Mulhere
was concerned about raising an issue of non-compliance, but he believed that by
maintaining the high preservation requirements, that might be a way around that.
Mr. Fry asked how staff responds to people stating that the land on the other side
of theirs is a different designation even though it has similar habitat. Mr. Lorenz
explained that the lands were designated Sending due to the amount of natural
resource cover, and the Receiving lands had the least concentration of habitat.
Also, people on the boundary were able to present their data and there designation
would be changed if qualified. He noted that other agencies reviewed this data,
but it could always be changed in the future if new data was presented. Mr. Fry
asked what would Mr. Cowan's options be if the study shows that it was a habitat
area for Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers. Mr. Mulhere stated there would be a
public heating with the commission and the board where data from both sides
would be presented. If it was decided that the area remain Sending, then Mr.
Cowan would have the optiOn to challenge the amendment.
Mr. Abernathy questioned what the study was trying to find. Mr. Mulhere stated
it was existing or potential habitat. Mr. Abemathy questioned why this would
take a year to complete. Mr. Lorenz stated that they didn't have all the resources
to complete this study, plus there may only be certain times of the year when
nesting and foraging can be documented. Mr. Wolfley stated they would be
judging the quality of habitat and the quality of the findings of the consultant.
Mr. Budd stated that they weren't at the point to discuss this, so the best they
could do would be to forward it as Neutral with Sending preservation standards.
Mr. Fry expressed his belief that the burden of proof should be on the county, not
the property owner. Mr. Mulhere stated that in this case, the burden is on the
county to do the study. Mr. Fry was concerned that the property owners are being
hurt by the designation. Mr. Strain noted that with the compromise to go to
Neutral with Sending land preservation requirements, then Mr. Cowan would be
able to achieve what he had wanted. Mr. Mulhere commented that it was
impossible to address the requirements of the Final Order and state law by
protecting natural resources without impacting private property rights. Mr.
Wolfley stated that he did not feel any of the land north ofi-75 should be
designated Sending. He questioned why the school had received a Neutral
designation. Mr. Mulhere stated that the data analysis showed it to be Neutral.
Mr. Wolfley felt the lands should be Neutral instead of Sending and he could not
support this unless that happens.
Topic 4 dealt with increasing the ratio of TDRs. Mr. Litsinger noted that the
problem is that the Receiving lands may not be able to absorb TDRs at a fair
market demand rate. The question is if they adopt at a ratio greater than 1 to 1,
they do not know whether it will be a financially feasible incentive program at the
market rates. Mr. Abernathy was concerned that if they flood the market with
TDRs, this could result in urban sprawl. Mr. Mulhere stated that it would take
some time before they would know, then they would reevaluate if necessary. Mr.
Litsinger noted that Rural Villages could not happen without TDRs. Mr.
Abernathy noted that they were agreed to not increase the value of TDRs.
For topic 5, Mr. Mulhere stated that they had agreed to a preservation ratio of
50% of the native vegetation, but not to exceed 25% of the site. There were no
objections. Topic 6 addressed density blending. Mr. Mulhere stated the intent
was to reduce the likelihood of anybody else qualifying under unified control or
the minimum acreage requirements subsequent. There were no objections. Topic
7, Mr. Mulhere stated that this was partly taken care of in topic 6. Mr. Abernathy
added the issue was with owned or under contract. Mr. Mulhere made a note and
said that was no problem.
6
Topic 8 dealt with oil extraction in Conservation and Sending lands, and Mr.
Mulhere noted that as proposed, it is a conditional use. Mr. Adelstein added that
the term conditional has to stay otherwise the owners don't have a deal. Mr.
Strain suggested they could split this up and put in a provision that says those
lands don't effect the extraction ofoil from below the surface. He added they
leave Big Cypress alone. Mr. Budd suggested they say that oil extraction will be
at angle drilling to the maximum abilities of angle drilling so as to minimize
impacts. Mr. Stain said that Mr. Budd had a good solution to leave as conditional
use in the Conservation areas with a right to extract the oil, and in the Sending
areas, if they can't extract it by means other than going in the Sending area, they
can only access the ones that were previously disturbed. Mr. Mulhere said they
could construct language to convey this.
Topic 9 dealt with wetland impacts versus distance to control structures. Mr.
Lorenz stated that they would pull in the language from policy 6.8.2(4) and apply
it to the hydrologic alterations to the wetland policies. Mr. Strain stated this was
placing control structures, not uses. Mr. Lorenz agreed. Mr. Strain asked about
the 3000-foot setback distance. Mr. Lorenz said the language would address that
but they wouldn't know the exact number until they did the calculations. Mr.
Budd clarified that the setback distance wotild be performance-based rather than a
fixed number. Mr. Lorenz agreed.
(There was a ten-minute break at 10:45 A.M.)
Mr. Litsinger requested that the commission continue the public hearing on the
concurrency amendments transmittal until the meeting on June 20, 2002. Staff
would like to incorporate the information from the debate and discussion on the
Growth Management Concurrency Moratorium into the amendments. They will
still meet the board's transmittal date of June 25th. Mr. Budd stated this was an
excellent idea to have the document in front of them before they discuss it. Mr.
Budd motioned to continue the Concurrency Resolution Transmittal until
June 20, 2002, Mr. Adelstein seconded. Passed unanimously to amend the
agenda.
Mr. Mulhere clarified that Rural Industrial was also to revise the list of permitted
uses to make it consistent with the Urban Industrial list of permitted uses. Topic
10 involved Mr. Hancock's request to increase the size of Rural Villages in area
D. Mr. Mulhere stated that staff feels the 2,500 acre size limitation is sufficient.
Mr. Abernathy mentioned Mr. Hancock's recommendations of fee waivers and a
six-month period, and he asked if they were inclined towards that. It was agreed
they were not. Mr. Hancock also suggested a 2.5 unit per acre rate in the 0-1 mile
corridor, but the commission had agreed to leave the rate as it was.
Topic 11 had been already addressed. Topic 12 discussed the need for adequate
staff for the implementation of wildlife policies. Mr. Schmitt stated they
understand this concern and it is something they need to address across the
county. Mr. Strain clarified that in the LDC amendments, there will be something
in there to address the staffing for wildlife policies. Mr. Schmitt agreed. Mr.
Mulhere added that for density blending, Mr. Yuvanovich's language needed to
be added. Topic 13 had already been discussed.
Mr. Strain summarized the decisions made from the morning's discussion; 1)
language for landfill expansion be corrected to cover recovery issue, and not solid
waste, 2) language on locally scarce rock be deleted, and 3) language for direct
impacts in relation to wetlands be addressed more strongly. Mr. Mulhere added
that here were a number of clean-up items and language corrections, as well.
Mr. Adelstein questioned about where the Hussey's land was located, and Mr.
Budd answered section 32, 33, and half of 29. Mr. Budd felt they were in
agreement on section 24 to transmit it as Neutral with Sending area preservation
standards. He was interested in sending the entire west end of the North Belle
Meade as Neutral with Sending lands preservation standards. Mr. Midney stated
this decision needed to be driven by what are the natural resource values of the
land, rather than what is the impact to property owners. Mr. Mulhere restated that
Mr. Budd was suggesting sending the 8 westernmost sections to Neutral with
Sending land preservation standards, and also requiring a listed species study to
be done. Mr. Midney asked what studies would need to be conducted on these
eight sections. Mr. Mulhere added that they couldn't conduct a study on
someone's property without their permission. Mr. Strain pointed out that the
property rights are still protected in the Sending lands, but if they allowed the
rock mining, many of their rights would be impacted. Mr. Mulhere added that he
didn't feel this opinion would be supported at the board level or by the DCA. Mr.
Abernathy asked who among the commission was in support of this position, and
Mr. Fry, Mr. Budd, and Mr. Wolfley raised their hands.
Mr. Budd motioned to forward to the Board of County Commissioners with
a recommendation for adoption the Growth Management Plan amendment
that is a result of the Rural Fringe agricultural assessment, including the
items discussed that the commission came to a consensus on and the
miscellaneous clean-up items that during the last day-and-a-half the dialogue
acknowledgments were made that corrections would be performed. Mr.
Adelstein seconded. The vote carried 7 for and 1 against. Mr. Wolflcy voted
against the motion.
(There was lunch recess at 11:30 P.M. Ms. Lora Jean Young and Mr. Strain left
the meeting.)
III. MORATORIUM ORDINANCE
Mr. Abernathy stated that there was a member of the audience who wanted to
speak regarding the concurrency issue.
Al Zichella - CBIA
He requested that they recommend to staff to include the building industry in their
ongoing work on the concurrency issue. He felt they might be able to bring some
assistance on the checkbook issue. Mr. Litsinger stated that they would include
their input throughout the process. Mr. Feeder concurred.
Ms. Student stated that the revised Ordinance for the moratorium was in the
process of being Xeroxed. Mr. Feeder and Ms. Student summarized the changes
that were made to the document. (This was reviewed when the board members
received their copies.) Mr. Abernathy questioned when they were going to
receive their copies, and he asked about continuing until Monday. Mr. Schmitt
suggested they recess for 15 minutes. Ms. Student stated that the individuals who
were there to speak had already been informed on the changes. Mr. Adelstein
stated he would rather try to finish today, Mr. Midney agreed.
(There was a 5-minute recess)
Mr. Feeder pointed out the changes that they had made to the Ordinance. On
page 6 & 7 in 2.2.3.7.1, there was a change to the definitions of the terms
"immediately adjacent" and "adjacent/contiguous" to include "any
development...through direct connection or use of a non-major public or private
roadway". On page 8, (5) the definition of "link or segment" was added to say
"the division of a roadway created by the intersection of the county's major
roadway network". In 2.2.37.4(2), the language "greater than de minimus impact"
was added for adjacent/contiguous. Mr. Abernathy asked if development was
defined in the document. Ms. Student answered that it was defined in the code.
Mr. Wolfley questioned the addition of"interim development controls"
throughout the document. Ms. Student clarified that that is the appropriate
terminology to address a moratorium. Ms. Student pointed out a few additional
language changes on the first few pages of the document.
Ms. Student reviewed the "exemptions" portion of the Ordinance. On page 9, she
read (3) and stated it is an exception for all single-family homes on lots. In (5),
this referenced any development pursuant to a final site plan or final subdivision
plat and she stated this change went to the areas to where those items have been
issued. The change in (6) was to clarify the vesting of DRIs because the DCA
had issued a series of declaratory statements saying what part of DRIs weren't
vested. Ms. Student read through this out-loud. The other change was an
addition of a sentence to (26) on page 10, and she stated the intent would be to
allow a site development plan if a completed application had been done. Mr.
Abernathy questioned if the language should be the "receipt of a completed
application". Ms. Student said they could add in "the receipt of a completed
application by the County". Mr. Litsinger asked if a waiver and release having
previously been issued, an application for a certificate of adequate public facilities
could still be filed. Ms. Student stated that it exempts out where there is a waiver
and release, but they could clarify this if it was the direction of the board.
Rich Yuvanovich - Mr. Yuvanovich understood the corrections, he just wanted
to make sure that the exemptions were clear. He questioned if they front or have
access to a "red" section, and if the impact is de minimus, are they exempt. Mr.
Feeder stated they were exempt if there was an alternate access, but if there was a
sole access, then they were not exempt unless they were single-family. Mr.
Yuvanovich stated it would be easier to revise (5) to say if you have a certificate,
then you are exempt. Ms. Student stated that this would cause (5) to be redundant
because of (4). Mr. Yuvanovich added that (26) would also be redundant.
Mr. Yuvanovich questioned if replacement structures in (8) also meant
redevelopment structures. Mr. Feeder stated that as long as it doesn't increase the
number of trips or has a de minimus impact. Mr. Yuvanovich suggested they
should add redevelopment or replacement structures which have the same or less
impact on the public facilities. He also suggested adding "accessory uses" to
(24). Ms. Student stated she had no problem with this. Mr. Yuvanovich
requested the commission transmit to the board the language that if you have an
approved SDP, or are in the process of the completed application for an SDP or
plat on the day the board adopts the Ordinance, then you would have to obtain a
certificate by June 30, 2002. He noted that you now are required to pay impact
fees on the date of the application. Mr. Abernathy asked who changed this
procedure. Mr. Litsinger stated it was changed based on that they were now in a
new review process. Mr. Schmitt clarified that he wanted to make this timeframe
specific to those who are already in the system to exchange their waiver. He
stated that he would recommend this to the commission as long as they were on
sound legal ground. Ms. Student stated she didn't see any legal problems. Mr.
Yuvanovich added that if they don't file the completed certificate application with
money by June 30th, then they would not be exempt.
Dwight Nadeatl - RWA
Mr. Nadeau also requested to strike exemption (5). He also urged the commission
to recommend the time to pay for their COAs.
Mr. Budd asked if Ms. Student felt (5) and (26) were now redundant. She stated
yes, but she would like to review before removal.
Reed Jarvi - Vanesse Daylor
Mr. Jarvi questioned exemption (6)e, and Ms. Student stated it may need to be go
out there. Mr. Jarvi requested that there be language added to give an applicant
an opportunity to provide more detailed analysis on level of service. Mr. Feeder
stated that in the overall process they are providing for further analysis. Ms.
Student felt this would defeat the purpose of a planning moratorium.
Mr. Abernathy closed the public hearing at 1:25 P.M.
10
Mr. Adelstein stated that he didn't like the word moratorium, but he felt it was
necessary to restrict applications until they come up with new rules. Mr. Wolfley
restated his concern over having a moratorium when simple measures have not
been attempted. He mentioned the timing of stoplights. Mr. Feeder reassured that
they have done analysis and have retimed the lights. Mr. Abernathy questioned
why these three segments were selected. Mr. Feeder stated that they are unable
under the current policies to improve these roads in three years. Mr. Wolfley
expressed concern that this moratorium would not be gone by the fall.
Mr. Midney stated that they heard from the public and the development
community, but they have not heard from those who have been hurt or killed in
accidents. He felt the planning moratorium was a reasonable compromise. Mr.
Wolfley didn't feel that the moratorium would stop accidents from happening.
Mr. Midney stated that it could stop them from getting worse.
Mr. Budd motioned for the Planning Commission to forward the Interim
Development Control to the Board of County Commissioners with a
recommendation of approval and certain modifications; in (8), add in
"redevelopment or replacement structures" and "have the same impact or
less on public facilities", in (24), add "minor accessory uses and structures",
that (5) and (26) be eliminated or modified if the county attorney's office
determines them to be redundant, and that the time of implementation be
crafted so that the applicants that are in the process are able to get a
certificate of public facilities by June 30th. Mr. Adelstein seconded. The vote
carried 5 for and 1 against. Mr. Wolfley voted against the motion.
Mr. Abernathy noted that the Concurrency issue had been continued until
June 20th. The meeting was adjourned at 1:35 P.M.
11
