<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> JosephPaladin, <br /> 730 E. Commerce Park, Atlantic Coast Construction & <br />Development, suggested the Board establish time restraints on applicants from the time they <br />obtain a rezoning to the time they go for permitting, all building rights would be relinquished if <br />they surpass deadlines, and have a two year waiting period to come back. <br /> Discussion ensued whereby Chairman Neuberger felt that this might be the <br />wrong time for a moratorium because the hurricanes, however, Commissioner Wheeler wanted to <br />move forward. <br /> Jerry Swanson <br />, 1048 E Polo Grounds Drive, was opposed to a moratorium <br />and felt the LDRs just need to be changed. He wondered if the developers would get together. He <br />considers a slow down that would be good for the County. <br /> Commissioner Wheeler did not hear any offer to do that several months ago. <br /> James Adams, <br />1850 Cutlass Drive,said he currently has about 400 or 500 <br />subcontractors that would not be affected by this, but he has other projects that would be. A <br />developer has to put down hundreds of thousands of dollars to start a project; that money would be <br />tied up in a moratorium without knowing if afterwards they would be able to continue the project. <br /> Tim Zorc, <br />4415 Place SW, opposed the motion. He wanted to see an <br />alternative that vested rights of people who have money and time. He also pointed out that <br />invested banks that have loans on property. <br /> John Studley, <br /> 1060 E. Polo Grounds Drive, wanted assurance that after the <br />moratorium he could build 6 units per acre if he has property zoned 6 units per acre. <br /> Ital Veron, <br />280 Pepper Tree, endorsed the moratorium completely saying it is <br />long overdue. <br /> <br /> Mary Berrigan, <br />894 Island Club Square, was in favor of a moratorium and <br />said they elected the Commissioners on a slow growth policy. <br /> An unidentified representative of the Builders Industry said the purpose of a <br />moratorium and the motion is to stop growth. He felt we need a slow down to sort things out. <br />NOVEMBER 16, 2004 32 <br /> <br />
