Objective 10: "Land Use", staff would look at the jobs housing balance <br />issue. He then invited questions. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan, commenting on the TDMs, said he has had people <br />asking if we could set up some parking rides out at I-95, SR 60, and CR 510. <br />Chairman Bowden invited comments from the public. <br />Peter Robinson, Laurel Homes, had questions regarding changing eminent <br />domain (under Objective 9), and wanted to know what exactly had staff planned to do. <br />Attorney Collins explained how the process may be handled; mentioned <br />laws to be followed; and cautioned against codifying procedures that needed some <br />flexibility. <br />Mr. Robinson thought it was interesting, that in the first Land <br />Development Report it was mentioned how trips are lengthened and people are taking <br />longer trips, but in this Report it is mentioned that people are not driving as much, and we <br />are not getting as much gas tax. He felt one of the weaknesses we have still today is we <br />work with national standards. He also felt we needed to determine more about trips and <br />what people are taking as trips, because we live a different lifestyle than many other <br />areas. On the issue of traffic calming, he felt we needed to watch what we are doing, <br />whether we were calming traffic or building congestion. <br />12 <br />October 20, 2008 <br />Public Workshop <br />
