 <br /> <br />Requires, for off-site set-asides, contiguity with another conservation area; <br />management plan required. <br /> <br /> <br />Clarifies that fee-in-lieu of set-aside is last alternative; only allowed if set- <br />aside precludes “reasonable use” of a project site. <br /> <br />Mr. DeBlois explained that the fee-in-lieu option was a last alternative and can only <br />be used if there has been a process to demonstrate, on the developer’s part, that it is just not <br />practical or appropriate to have a set-aside on the property. <br />Discussion ensued and Commissioner Bowden questioned the number of times staff <br />had used the fee-in-lieu alternative prior and whether it was expected to re-appear. Commissioner <br />Davis questioned the necessity for a MAI appraisal if county staff and developers could agree on a <br />price. Mr. DeBlois addressed the questions explaining that it was fairly common for developers to <br />offer fee-in-lieu in the 1990’s, which was more of an option then and not a last alternative. He also <br />explained why staff preferred the appraisal approach. The Chairman supported the appraisal <br />approach. Concluding, Mr. DeBlois recommended that the Board approve the amendments as <br />presented. <br /> <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Bob Johnson, <br /> Coral Wind Subdivision, was not clear on the reasons to change <br />existing appraisal process to market value. He wanted definition specific to whether it is market <br />value for agricultural land or appraisal on something for RS-3 or RM-3. <br /> <br />Mr. DeBlois explained that it is based on the value assessment of the subject <br />property and also depended on the specific characteristics of the property. <br />Bob Swift, <br /> 6400 block of Glendale Road, was happy to see the matter being <br />brought before the Commission and commended Planning and Zoning staff for moving the process <br />February 14, 2006 <br />12 <br /> <br />
