3. PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC DISCUSSION <br />REVIEWOFINDIANRIVER COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />EVALUATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating provided background and <br />description on the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), which he described as an on- <br />going process that is mandated by the State, and is due on December 1, 2008. He <br />announced that this is the first of two public Workshops, the second of which would be <br />on Thursday, October 23, 2008, if all business is not addressed today. <br />Through a PowerPoint Presentation Director Keating outlined the Elements <br />of the Comprehensive Plan that are being revised, noting that he would address seven of <br />the fifteen elements, but would rather they be not addressed in complete detail. He <br />detailed State law requirements for the EAR, which requires that the Local Planning <br />agency (Planning & Zoning Commission) prepare the Report, and noted that staff has <br />worked closely with them over the years. Staff has taken certain elements of the EAR to <br />various County committees and has received valuable feedback. On October 9, 2008 the <br />Local Planning Agency (PZC) reviewed the Report and recommended that the Board <br />approve the EAR. <br />Director Keating outlined the EAR components, stating that each of the <br />fifteen EAR components has the same format: the first two sections are an inventory or <br />conditions at the time the Plan was last updated, and the third section is an analysis of <br />those conditions. He said the most important parts of each of the EAR Elements are the <br />evaluation of objectives, which outlines whether they were or were not met; reasons why <br />they were not met; whether policies were implemented or not and why they were or were <br />N <br />October 20, 2008 <br />Public Workshop <br />
