1. At 4 : 15, there was no quorum; it was decided to begin the
meeting. Mr. Davis called the roll - members Beardsley,
Davis, Means and Pires were present.
Dr. Stallings reviewed staff HPO concerns and Steve Means'
fax re: HPO.
By 4 : 30, members Addison, Land and Wilkison had arrived; a
quorum was reached.
Mr. Beardsley had a concern re: what if there are valuable
corridor or RUE areas within designated activity centers?
Ms. Cawley raised the issue of cost - staff would need to
address this prior to HPO implementation.
2 . Dr. Stallings gave a brief overview of the CZMP status.
Mr. Beardsley was concerned re: dates of coastal zone
ordinances. He requested a GMP monitoring/update report as
received previously.
Motion made: Staff is to present to EPTAB what they want to
accomplish during the next budget cycle; motion passed
unanimously.
3 . Dr. Stallings then gave a brief review of the Manatee
Protection Plan' s status and timeframe; he estimated 2 years
to completion. The MPP is required by DNR.
4 . The HPO Checklist (compiled by Mr. Dugan) was discussed; the
purpose of such a checklist is for a property owner to know
if the HPO applies to him.
Mr. Land noted the following:
- rural/AG carried brunt of environmental preservation; he
suggested not exempting individual lots in the urban area. -
either have no one exempt, or have measures such as purchase
of development rights, acquisition program, or outright
purchase.
- there should be equitability throughout the County.
- if approved land uses can be realized on property within
HPO restrictions, then no mitigation banking option; if they
can't be realized, then have option of mitigation banking or
County buys development rights.
5. The issue of NRPA' s, when and how, was raised; staff feels
that the HPO shouldn't be delayed.
Mr. Land suggested that by 7/31, focus on coastal scrub; Mr.
Addison noted most if not all unprotected coastal scrub was
gone. Mr. Land suggested the modification of the LDC's
vegetation protection section for this purpose.
6. Mr. Land' s motion: recommend to Bill Lorenz, the County
Manager and the BCC, that in the interim, the LDC would still
be used for environmental review; do not try to submit HPO in
current form to the County Attorney' s Office by 7/31; EPTAB
will develop a time schedule for how to proceed for the
comprehensive management NRPA/HPO program. EPTAB will develop
and follow this schedule, unless they hear otherwise from the
BCC, County Manager, or staff. Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Land requested that Mr. Beardsley review the comp plan,
check dates, etc. ; also outline management plans.
Mr. Land also requested that the EPTAB officers develop this
schedule/time frame.
7 . Meeting was adjourned at 5: 55 p.m.
