Commissioner Wheeler set forth that the proposed land swap would be wrong; that it <br />would be development of the landowner's property at the expense of the neighborhood. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan was concerned about approving the land swap without knowing <br />how the property would be developed or what changes might occur to the neighborhood. He felt <br />that the Board would have more input if the subject land was developed through a Commercial <br />Planned Development (PD) process, and inquired whether it was possible to get this commitment <br />from the Kennedys (the landowners). <br />Staff reminded Commissioners that the matter before the Board at today's hearing was <br />whether or not to transmit the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to DCA, and that it was not <br />possible to mandate a Planned Development at this point. <br />Director Mora addressed Ms. Mills' questions regarding traffic signals on 87th Street, <br />CR510, and at the entrance to Bristol Bay. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the PD process, after which, Thomas Kennedy, the <br />applicant, advised the Board that he would be amenable to going through a PD process for <br />Commercial Development at the subject site (Property 1). <br />Based on Mr. Kennedy's assurance that he was willing to go through the PD process, <br />Commissioner O'Bryan WITHDREW his SECOND to Commissioner Wheeler's Motion to deny <br />the land swap. <br />Commissioner Wheeler's MOTION FAILED for lack of a <br />SECOND. <br />There being no further speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. <br />24 <br />November 3, 2009 <br />
