<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Bob Bruce <br /> , a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission, expressed his opposition to <br />the radical difference in the footprint of the new plan and reminded the Board that the North Beach <br />Civic Association had previously requested repeatedly that the density in the area be reduced. <br />Requests were made to rezone everything north of CR-510 to single-family. <br /> <br /> Director Boling, in response to questioning, showed pictures of both the original <br />conceptual plan, the plan originally submitted for Ocean Sands and the revised plan which has 5 <br />3-story buildings and 2 1-story structures. <br />Chairman Ginn questioned the placement of the parking garage and noted that one of the <br />pictures appeared to show part of the garage higher than the dune line. <br /> Director Boling responded that was a front elevation picture. Part of the 35-foot height <br />includes the portion of the garage that is above the average natural grade. <br /> Commissioner Neuberger questioned what happened in 1992 with the original conceptual <br />plan and what was permitted to change. <br /> County Attorney Collins noted that the original conceptual plan was approved with <br />parameters. Anytime there are modifications, especially intensification of density, a new public <br />hearing is required. If the plans lessen the density and increase the buffering, no additional public <br />hearing is required. <br />Attorney Barkett <br /> questioned Director Boling as to whether or not this is a modification of <br />the original conceptual plan, and Director Boling responded that it is and has been found to be <br />consistent with the original PD plan. <br /> County Attorney Collins noted that this is not a totally different plan but retains the same <br />restrictions as the original plan. The Board is not here for a zoning matter but is here to look at the <br />preliminary conceptual plan and the site plan approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission. If <br />the plan conforms with development regulations, it should be approved. If not, the Board can deny <br />the plan but distinction as to the reason for denial should be made. <br /> Director Boling confirmed that this current plan has fewer units than the original plan. <br />OCTOBER 19, 2004 31 <br /> <br />
