RESOLUTION 86-203 RE PETITION V-86-¡2, DR. NENO J. SP2\GNA,
REPRESENTING ARTHUR J. GREENLING, REQUESTING A 5 FOOT V2\RIANCE
FOR PROPERTY ON THE E1\ST SIDE OF 40TH TERRACE S.W. - 1\DOPTED
October 21, 1986
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
October 5, 1986, liS evidenced by ^ffidavit of Publication filed with
the Clerk, public hearing was opened to consider Pe(ition V-06-12,
filed by Dr. Neno J. Spagna, representing Artnur J. Greenling,
~
requesting a five foot variance from the requ!reð rear yard setback of
..... ...,..'~..
25 feet to 20 feet, for property located on the east side of 40th
Terrace Southwest, approximately 650 feet south ~f Green Boulevard in
Section 22, Township 49 South, Range 26 East. .
Planner Weeks stated that the property is zoned C-5, Commercilll
Industrial and exceeds the lot width and area requirements. He noted
that the rear yard setback requirement is 25 feet and the petitioner
proposes to construct a 40 foot by 80 foot steel building which will
encroach 5 feet into the rear yard setback. He indicated that the
building will contain a 20 foot by 40 foot office/work area which will
include an office, parts storage area, restrooms and a clean room to
work on parts in a controlled environment and the 60 foot by 40 foot
repair area will contain an overhead crane mechanism that is necessary
to lift heavy equipment and machinery. He stated that the equipment
and machinery to be repaired is typically'delivered by semi-trðctors.
lie noted that to allow adequate room for maneuverability of these
vehicles, and to leave room for the required parking facility, the
~

October 21, 1986
building has to be located a9 shown on the site plant as opposed to
facing a different direction. He stated that after review by Staff,
it was felt that the work area could be reduced by five feet in order
to meet the setback requirements, but this would mean eliminating the
clelln room. He indicated th~t the repair business could still operate
at this locaticn without the clean room, but would require the appli-
cant to continue to send cerLain parte to Tampa for repair. He stated
that there is a certain hard~hip but it does not apply to the entire
building and, therefore, Staff recommends denial.
In answer to Commissioner Voss, Mr. Weeks stated that the setback
is on the east side and woulé not affect the residential are3. He
stated that the business is teing entered off 40th Terrace Southwest,
which is an alleyway that is partially paved.
In answer to Commissioner Hasse, Mr. Weeks stated that this
building should allow thèm to store some of their heavy equipment
under cover.
Dr. Neno Spagna, representing the petitioner, stated that this
property was rezoned about 5 years aso and the operation is unsitely
looking at the present time, ~ecause there is no storage for vehicles
. .'
or equipment. He à1:'!rŒðA'tha't he feels that the request is not out of
,,-
context with the surroundlng ,!rea and it will be an improvement to the
area. He stated thaS,the original building was put in according to the
ordinance and goes almost to :he property line and, therefore, this
variance is not an extreme request. He indicated that the Petitioner
BO~ 098~~37S

IDOK l19B~;[377
October 21, 1986
ordered this building from 1I compðny in Houston, TexlIs, and when the
contractor applied for the permits,- it was determined that the
building was five feet too long. He noted that if he is granted the
variance, he has agreed to meet all the requirements of the County,
including easements, landscaping, engineering and water management
requirements. He stated that he would like to get the building built
in order to clean the area up and continue his business. He indicated
that since he has committed h~mself to purchas~ng the building, he
I'
does not know if ~e will be able to gèt out .oftba-eoontract if the
.' .
var iance is not granted. -
Commissioner Pistor stated that ~eople create thei~ own problems
liS this is contrary to the Zoning Ordinance which ,should be checked
into prior to committing ones~lf to anything.
Dr. Spagna stated that he hopes that the bepefits of cleðning up
the area outweigh the fact thDt he did not check into zoning prior to
committing himself.
In answer to Commissioner voss, Dr. Spagna stated that the
cleaning room is used for cleésning delicate parts of the engines.
Mr. Arthur Greenling stated that if he can build this building
all work will be done inside the building, ðdding that he is trying to
conform to the area. He stated that at this point it would not be
advantageous to build unless he gets the variance in order to keep
everything inside. He stated that he wili do the lðndscaping around
thE' area a5 500n as he has the building in place.

Planner Weeks stated thélt the petitioner must meet all necessary
landscaping and site requirements before a "CO" is issued.
Mr. Greenling stated thet ~he only type of equipment that will be
left outside is that which is made for the highway, adding that all
the junk would be removed. He stated that he picked this location due
to the fact that it is in the center of activity that is best for his
business.
Commissioner Goodnight questioned if the petitioner is in viola-
tion in his present state, to which Mr. Weeks replied negatively,
adding that he is operating on site without a permanent structure but
the use is allowed on the property.
Commissioner Goodnight stated that he is operating legally and the
only option would be to allow him this variance which would clean up
the property as well as keep people employed.
Mr. George Keller, representing the Collier County Civic
Federation, stated that he is normally against variances, but in this
case he would recommend approval as the property is an eyesore at
the present time and if this would be an improvement to the property,
he is in favor of it as long as therß are stipulations concerning
landscaping.

In answer to còr1!TlITš'š1"oO(!'r Hasse, Mr. Greenling stated that he
0/
would like to have the al~erway paved.
Commissioner Vos,s·'moved, aeconðed by Commissioner Goodnight and

sites be visited and a safe boat is needed for this. He stated that
presently a 22 foot Aquasporl that is powered by a 350 O.M.C. inboard
engine is used, adding that ~'rior to his department purchasing this
boat, it was used by the Sheriff's Department. He noted that it is
currently inoperable as the ~ngine needs to be replaced. He stated
thllt of the three bids that ~'ere received, he is recolT.rnending that
Rose Boat and Engine Works b~ awarded the job of replacing the engine
for $5,121.76. He stated thet the boat is in good shape and
seaworthy, but the engine ha~ had a number of repairs prior to engine

pate using this money to defray BO% of the cost of concrete culverts
that will be placed five miles offshore of Doctors Pass. He noted
thJt no grant money has e~er been received for a reef program prior to
this money, and ~e is asking that the Board of County Commissioners
enter into the contract with the State DNR.
In answer to Commissioner Pistor, Dr. Henningsen stated that 50%
of the culverts are being stored neðr the landfill and the other 50%
is still at Naples Culve~t and Recycling. He noted that these
culverts were donated to the program as they are reject culverts and
not usable.

Dr. Henningsen stated that a grant proposal was submitted this
8ummer and he has been informed that Collier County will receive
$23,500 for the Derelict Vessel Re~val progra.. He indicated that a
search has been done along the coastline of Collier County and there
lire 50 to 60 boats, but the majority are pleasure boats and not
appropriate for the reef pre gram. He stated that 3 larger boats from
45 to 65 feet have been locéted as well as one pontoon boat, adding
that this money would remov(, those boats to be used for the artificial
reef.
Mr. Mike Zewalk stated that the County keeps taking money which
only causes a bigger deficit, adding that at one time, he can remember
the County refusing grant money. He stated that the County is going
to pay a price in the long run for taking grant monies.

RESOLUTION 86-207 AMENDING RESOLUTION 85-200 SOLID W1\STE F1\CILITIES
FEB SCHBDULB TO BST1\DLISH TR1\NSrER AND DISPOSAL FEES FOR FISCAL YEAR
86-87 - ADOPTED
Public Works Administrator Archibald stated that this item deals
with solid waste fees and tipping fees which was previously continued.
He stated that he is prepared to review what was approved in the
budget and the expanded services request and answer any questions
regarding how the fee was determined and how they relate to residen-
tial users. He referred to two charts, indicating that one is for
current service and one is for expanded service for the current year,
adding that the charts show the revenue that is current and the reve-
nue projected. He stated that the expanded service shows a $640,000
shortfall which will be made up over a long period of time, but is one
reason tbat the tipping fees needed to changed.
Commissioner Holland"stated that the las~ time this item was pre-
sented, there was no shortfall and the money was to go into a sinking
fund for lllnd purchase and eçuipment.
Mr. Archibald stated that this is correct, but the shortfall is
what was approved in the budget for èxpanded s~rvices.
Commissioner Ho~'s(aied that when the budget was approved, it
'"
had been confirmed that there would be a resource recovery plant, and
questioned why additional land is needed when the land that is pre-
. ,.
sently being used will last another 7 to 15 years? He stated that
when mandatory trash pickup goes into effect, it was stated that the
Page 15

aoOK 0981'.\7. 439
October 21, 1986
prices would be lower per clJstomer ðnd the prices are already going up
to cover a shortfall.
Mr. Archibald stated that the shortfall is based on items that
Commissioner Holland mentioned. He stated that there is an active
need for a landfill whether or ~ot there is resource recovery. He
stated that equipment needs to be replaced as well as the need for
additional land. He indicated that there is a need-for monitoring
to conform to State requireITents, which are long-term items that need
..
to be addressed and the budget reflects that with sinking funds.
..,,,,'~..
.." .
Commissioner Holland_stated that the Board of County Commissioners
was told that it was the plan of the State to disallow landfill proce-
dures in this part of the State, which was one of the selling points
of the resource recovery.
Commissioner Pis tor questioned if separating the items for the
landfill and the resource recovery plant would offset the need for
additional landfill apace? He stated that equipment could be
purchased to do this type of operation and more land could be
purchased at a later date if it was determined that it was needed.
Mr. Archibald stated that the comments of Commissioner Pistor are
a real possibility and studies are being done regarding this.
Commissioner Pis tor questioned if these changes of rates were
included when the budget was set up, to which Mr. Archibald replied
affirmatively, adding that the charts were taken from the budget book,
which indicates not only current services but expanded services,
Page 16

October 21, 1986
sinking funds, and equipment which dictates a need for additional
revenue with the main source coming from tipping fees by increasing
them. He noted that the equipment replacement and additional land
purchase is being done over a period of years.
Commissioner Piator questioned ~Ihat is going to happen with the
Immokalee landfill, to whic~ Mr. Archibald stated that he is going
ahead with the permitting ar,d developing the new cell in order to con-
form to St.ate requirements, adding that a large amount of the expanded
services reque~t is to continue developing the Immokalee landflll and
to monitor it.
Commissioner Pistor queßtioned what happens if the Immokalee land-
fill is closed and everythlng is brought to Naples? Mr. Archibllld
stated that there would be necessary expenses involved in the closure
of that landfill as well as the monitoring of it, adding that he is
trying to set money aside each year to cover long-term monitoring
cost.
Mr. Archibald ste~ed that there is also items of cost involved in
regards to providing the billing sy~tem for mandatory trash pickup.
Tap. U

Commissioner Ha~'štatéd that the cost is supposed to be lower to
,.
the residents with mandat91Y trash pickup. Mr. Archibald stllted that
this is the basic P9~ition that the County is taking, but not all the
franchisees agree ~nd until a contract can be negotiated, they are not
in a position to consider the mandatory trash pickup at this time.

October 21, 1986
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that this item was con-
tinued two weeks ago based on the concerns of the Contractor's
Association. He stated that he met with them and presented budget
figures to them, adding that in the absence of the Contractor's
Association this date, it should indicate that they do not object to
the proposed increase.
Commissioner Pistor questioned if Mr. Dorrill would make any com-
.I,.f
ments regarding the m11ndatory trash collectio~ and the negotiations
with the franchisees? Mr. Oorrill stated tha~ there is no direct
correlation between this increase anð the cost'õ~~aatory collec-
-
tion, adding that it is not totally dependent on what is done at the
.
landfill. He stated that the discussions havß been very cooperative
with Waste Management and they are trying to reach an agreement.
Commissioner Holland stated that figures for 1985-86 show an
average of 1.8 ton per year per household, and-questioned if that is
correct, to which Mr. Archibald replied affirmatively, adding thllt
those figures are for last year and as the community grows, the amount
of garbage will decrease per resident. Mr. Archibald stated that the
procedure to determine the amount of garbage is done by weighing all
trucks for residents over a 12 month period that comes in from the
franchisees and also ¡ncludp-s the City of Naples. He stated that the
total tonnage is then dividp-d by the number of customers.
In answer to Commlssionl~r Holland, Mr. Dorrill stated that
$100,000 was quoted from thp- Tax Collector to do special billing for

mllndatory collection, which was propo~ed in the expanded service in
the budget for the coming yellr.
Commissioner Holland stated that two weeks ago this money was to
be used for the sinking fund.
Mr. Dorrill stated that there is an amount shown in the budget for
the creation of the oinking fund and there is a sinking fund closure
which will be used to put ð cover on the landfill at the time it is
closed, as well as money for additional land for the future and money
for heavy equipment. He stated that there is also a reserve fund set
aside, which has been ther~ for a numher of years. He stated that a
rate analyst has participated in this matter.
Mr. Mike Zewa.k stated that there is supposed to be a $60 per
customer per year fee for mandatory collection, adding that presently
he is paying $100 per year. He stated that in 1966 he was paying $12
a year, adding that in a-pp-riod of 20 years the rates have increased
800\.
Mr. Dorrill stated that the Solid Waste Department and the obliga-
tions to dispose of trash 'does not resemble the methods that were used
in 1966 as there was no landfill in tmmokalee, there was no transfer
stlltion in Collie~,~ rtnà the dump at that time, still causes
".-

,
Commissioner Pis tor stilted that he would like to have 1I discussion
#,'
on mandatory collection in the near future, to which Mr. Dorrill indi-
cllted that he would be ready to have a workshop on this mlltter when-
aoop; 09B:r,;:!442
Page 19

ever the Board would like, adding that Staff feels thllt mandatory
collection is good for all, in terms of the people that subscribe to
it and also for the people that have franchises who also have a right
to make a profit on their investment.
Commissioner Pistor stated that the rates and costs could be
discussed lit such a ~'orkshcp so that the public will have all the
facts.

Mr. Zewalk questioned how the fioure of $64> a year for pickup was

determined?

Mr. Dorrill stated t~at a rate consultant was retained to review
.
information supplied to him in order to propose a rate formula. He
indicated that Yah1 Brothers did their own study, .adding that they
need to be able to depreciate their equipment. He stated that Staff
is not recommending any further franchise exteO$ions, and feels it
would be in the best intere3t of the County to put the service out for
bid.
Mr. John Keschl questioned how many tons per year of solid waste
is picked up and disposed of, to which Mr. Archibald stated that there
are 150,000 ton of garbage, which includes 26,000 tons of bio-mass, on
a yearly basis, which is thp- basis for the fees.
Mr. Kesch1 questioned how many tons Yahl Brothers or individuals,
bring in, to which Mr. Dorrlll indicated that 3/4th of all solid
wllste comes from 3 franchise haulers, which amounts to about 110,000
to 120,000 tons.

October 21, 1986
Mr. Keschl questioned if the $100,000 for the Tax Collector to set
up the billing proce~s is a one-time fee, if he will be using his own
personnel for this, bnd how long it will take?
Mr. Dorrill statmd that this is a one-time fee that will require
in excess of 1,500 man hours to put together a computer program to
send out mandatory bills to e3ch resident.
Mr. Chester Dobeck stated that he is in favor of mandatory collec-
tion, but he feels that there is a lot of problems with it, noting
that if 150,000 tons of garbage is collected each year lInd the
resource recovery plÐnt needs 290,000 tons, there is something wrong
with the figuring. He noted that there is also an uneven flow of gar-
bllge in Collier County due to the incrcase of winter residents and
lllCK of summer residents.
Public Works Admlnistrator Archibald stated that the figures are
based on a 12 month report and it takes into consideration the peaks
and valleys, ajding that the County will meet the long-term require-
ments.

as it is associated with a State-mandated ~~~gr~e stated that the
Redlðnds Migrant Christiðn ASBociation is a non-profit organization
.
that has a chance to receive a $150,000 grant. He stated that in the
event that the Board decides to participate, the proper approach would
be to direct Staff to enter into an agreement with the Redlands
Migrant Christian Association indicllting that ~here is no future sup-
port for an on-going program and that this is a one-time deal only and
the County should not be perc~ived as an unlimited supply of money.
Social Services Director Skinner stated that Redlands does 1I good
job and she has no problem wi~h this request. She indicated thllt
Redlands is a child care agency that operates in migrant areas of the

dated lInd she does not have the flexibility to use it for other ser-
vices, and without that flexibility the money has not been used and
after a year the department loses it.

became available and the Redlands were not able to come up with the
money in the time limit that they were given.
Assistant County Manager Dorrill stated that he is prepllred to
proceed with this matter with the assurance that it will not be a
long-term commitment. He stated that the County has not spent a lot
of money in terms of migrllnt programs which means that someone is
doing a good job, adding that Redlands provides a valuable service and
also eliminates the problem of infants and children going to the
fields everyday with the-parent,.

MAN1\GBR"S DECISION OF THE COLLIER DRI'S BNVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
- DENIED
Mr. Frllnklyn Adams, President of the Cypress Chapter of the IZlIak
Walton League of America, Btated that they and the Collier County
Audubon Society are the Appellants in this case who are appealing the
County Manager's decision to accept the Collier ADA in lieu of a full
Environmental Impact Statenent as required by County Ordinance 77-66.
Attorney David Rynde£s, representing the Appellants, stated that
the Appellants have appealed a July 1, 1986 determination by the
County Manager. The core of the appelll, he said, is the statement of
the County Manager that Sðys that because of the complex nature of
these proposals, the full informatiðn for an environmental review of
w
this project, which is the.~Foposed Collier DRI, including a review of
..~~.,..
significant environmental~'impacts, will not be possible until after
the completion of the State and Federal permitting process. He indi-
cated that the Applléation for Development Approval, which was a part
of the. DR!, was deemed to be an EIS under County Ordinance 77-66 and
aDD( 098p~~. 466

approved for purposes of rezoning subject to certain modifications and
stipulations, which included bringing a supplemental back to the
Manager and the Board of County Commissioners when the developer
sought building permits.
Attorney Rynders stated that the Appellants feel that this proce-
dure is in conflict with specific provisions of Ordinance 77-66 which
states in Section 2, that without first obtaining ~~proval of an EIS,
as required by the Ordinance, it shall be unl~wful and no building
permits, provisional use or zoning change shaþ~ be issued to cause the
development of or site alteration of this pé~ticu~'ãevelopment. He
said that the Ordinance does not allow for the discretion of the
.
County Manager or even the County Commission ~o decide to wait for a
supplementary EIS to be submitted before deciding-on granting land use
applications to a developer. He added that if the County were to
grant a land use application to the developer snd subsequently had an
EIS brought to its attention which posed environmental problems, the
land use decision would have already been made and the developer can-
not be told at that time that he will not be allowed to build; the
right to make a land use decision has been made in advance of getting
the information.
Attorney Rynders cited several cases which have been researched in
connection with the problem of issuing approvals in violation of the
required standards of a particular or applicable ordinances. He also
stated that research was done into Florida law regarding equitable

estoppel, which might put the burden on the County of proving why
the developer cannot go forward at a later date.
Attorney Rynders concluded by saying that based upon the
Ordinance, they do not believe that the County Manager's proposal of
requiring a supplementary EIS is lawful or a proper one.
Dr. Mark B~nedict, Environmental Protection Director for the
Conservan~y, stated that he is a member of the EAC, however, since he
declared a voting conflict on all matters regarding the Collier DRI
because of the Conservancy's assistance in preparing the appeal, he
removed himself from all proceedings and filed the proper forms to
that effect. He indicateé that the details of the appeal have been
submitted for the record as part of the EAC proceeding and that was
covered in detail during that proceeding. He indicated that what sets
this project apart from other projects is that it occurs immediately
adjacent to the Coastal ~~sources Management Recreation Area, as
designated by the Comprehensive Plan, proposing intensive land uses
within that area that"may have a potential for adverse impact. He
indicated that the Conservancy has ~orked closely with the Collier
Development Corporation to work out the differences and concerns, and
Collier Development-ft9T~d·t~ pullout of the eastern area of the

coastal zone; they pulle~ the resid~ntial uses, the golf holes, and

Treatment recreational open-space preserve-type land use eliminating
the need for additional information on the impact. He said that the

area they are most concerned about in this development is the marina
on the western tract beca~se a good part of the marinll complex flllls
within this CRMRA; they are specifically concerned about the construc-
tion of a 1,000 boat marira, harborage, associated marina uses and
access channels in and imrrediately adjacent to the CRMRA "ST"

answered regarding the eovironmental impact of the marina involving
pollution, water circulation, aquatic life, etc. and discussed each in
detail, pointing out that these q~estions are' critical before deter-
mining whether or not the marina is suitable land use and whether it
will hold impacts to an acceptable level on the "ST" areas. He stated
that other agencies have expressed concerns regarding this develop-
ment, adding that the County would have a better opportunity to review
the environmental merits of this project, specifically the marina, at
the time or concurrently with State and Federal permitting, bllt at
this time it does not have the ability to do a good job and uphold the
County ordinance.

County Manager Lusk st~ted that when Collier Development
Corporation appealed to th~ County r1anager on a decision by the
Natural Resources Manageme1t Department, their point was that they did
not want to furnish an EIS for a project that could very well be

changed going through the process. He read the ordinance, and stated
that the approval he gave had stipulations to furnish 1I full EIS
before building permits were issued, and the reason was because the
project was destined for change and there could have been a lot of
unnecessary work done. He said that the point for a full EIS is at
the building permit stage.
Attorney ~on Pickworth, representing Collier Development
Corporation, gave an overview on the issues and stated that the points
raised by Dr. Benedict have been addressed, and many of the concerns
have been responded to with changes by the developer. He added that
they have never taken the position that there are not significant
environmental factors involvpd in this project and do not expect thllt
the local government should abbrogate it's responsibilities or concern
for environmental review. He said the environmental review needs to
be meshed with the State-and Federal agencies and they will work with
the County staff in the process, and the matter will be decided by the
County Commission when the developer comes back for further review on
tha overlay lands.
County Attorney Cuyler asked if Attorney P~ckworth had any objec-
tion to language in~..PU[),.·'which would be approved by his office,
.1
negating any possible est~ppel questions or issues, indicating that
there will be no ve~ted rights pending the County's approval of the
"
supplementary reviews? Attorney Pickworth replied that that has been
agreed'to.

Mr. Cuyler asked if the environm~ntal review indicates that there
should be less units or that there cannot be any construction at all,
can the developer be held to that? Attorney Pickworth answered affir-
matively.
Commissioner Voss stated that the issue before the Board is
whether or not the County Manager had the authority to make the deci-
sion he did. Attorney Rynd~r3 stated that they believe the issue is
that under the Ordinance the County Manager do~s not have the
authority, and the Ordinance spells out what h~A·~hprity is. He
.-'. . .
added that there is nothing in the language that permits anyone to
accept less than ð complete EIS.
Commissioner Pistor asked who determines what a complete Impact
Statement is? Attorney Rynders replied that the Ordinance does in
Section 4. In answer to Commissioner Pistor, ~r. Rynders added that
the developer can go through the permitting process and develop the
information and then come to the Commission and apply for a par-
ticular land use.
Mr. Cuyler asked for an example of what has not been addressed?
Dr. Benedict responded by citing from the Ordinance under Bio-Physical
Categories, Water Quality, adding that it was not addressed under the
ADA that was submitted. Attorney Rynders stated that it is not a
great burden to provide thi& ~nformation, adding that the County
Commission is being asked t~ nake a z.:mi,,!'g decision contrary to the
Ordinance at a point in time ~Ihen no information is being supplied to

the County Commissicn to mak,! an informed decision.
Attorney Pickworth stated that he believes that the issue is not
that they have not supplied any of the information, but rather the
level and qu~lity. Mr. WillLam Barton, from Wilson, Miller, Barton,
5011 & Peek, Inc., cited oth.?r projects that he has been involved in
and stated that the level of information prvvided on this project has
been greater ~han most other developments, and at this pOint the
Tape t8
environmental information prQvided does satisfy the Ordinance and
represents a complete EIS fo~ the purpose of reviewing land use and
rezone, noting that gathering of data will continue. He indicated
that permits cannot be obtained without zoning in place.
Commissioner Pis tor asked how the developer is to determine impact
of a marina on the area? Dr. Benedict stated that one way is to cite
other marinas of similar-siz~ that have been done and the studies
associllted with it.
After a long discussion :egarding the Manager's decision and EAC
recommendlltions, County Atto~ney Cu~ler stated that there are two
points alleged by the Appellants; the legal issue of whether the
Manager has the lIut~~, adnd certllin policy concerns that the BOllrd
.'
should have regarding est'bpp.!l and the vesting of certain land use
rights the develope~,þas, and the p03sible problems the County may
have at a later time enforcing what the developer has agreed to
beclluse they have their land use decision.

Commissioner Holland asked if the County Manager was within his
legal rights? County Attorney Cuyler responded lIffirmatively.
Commissioner Holland asked if with that understanding, the Board can
accept or reject EAG findingß? County Attorney Cuyler stated that the
Board has to decide whether ~he Manager acted legally or not, and it
J
is within the discr~tion of ~he Board to address the policy decision,
which is whether the Manager required suffici~t information.
,.
After a ler.gthy discussicm, Commission~J. Go~ht stated that
the Manager acted legally, b'Jt that the State agencies are not working
with the developer and RPC in helpiñg with the permits until after
the County has done the rezoning.
Commissioner Voss stated that it seems thllt a great deal of this
discussion has to do with the rezoning and not.with the question at
hand, which is whetheL this appeal should be upheld or rejected.
Commissioner Voss moved, seconðed by Commissioner Goodnight that
, the appeal be rejected.
Commissioner Hasse stated that he still feels that there should be
more informlltion.
County Attorney Cuyler stated thst the Board is in no way giving
away any of its authority or powers; at the time of rezone if it is
found that there is not suff~cient environmental information, it still
has the authority to make such a declsio¿ regardless of today's deci-
sion.
Upon call for the question, the IIlotion carried unanimously.
