<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Keith Pelan, <br /> Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., clarified the project as it <br />rdrd <br />relates to 43 Avenue. He said there are certain projects affected by whether 43 Avenue is made <br />wider and this project is not one of them. <br /> <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There being <br />none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowden, to deny staff’s <br />recommendations. <br /> <br /> Under discussion, Commissioner Lowther spoke against the motion. This <br />project asks for R-3, is inside the urban service boundary and fits into the neighborhood. We <br />should avoid taking a knee jerk reaction to deny it. He agreed that in the future we should maintain <br />a tougher stance on growth. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Wheeler supported the motion saying this was not a knee jerk <br />reaction. The two different sides of this argument have valid points. Our Comp Plan is a good <br />plan, but it periodically needs to be revisited. He thought in the last year there have been things <br />that have prolonged getting into the LDRs and addressing this problem up front. The Board <br />developed the Task Force with every entity in the community represented. A lot of interesting <br />information on the LDRS has not been addressed. Secondly, the County is spending $500,000 to <br />do a visioning process and traffic studies, etc. He believes that we need to take another look at our <br />rd <br />Comp Plan, the visioning process, and 43 Avenue. There is a legitimate public interest in <br />denying this rezoning until these things are completed in the next few months <br />NOVEMBER 16, 2004 18 <br /> <br />
