Mr. Hattaway also believed that the County might have to revamp its <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />Discussion ensued among Board members regarding higher density and what would <br />be the best plan for the County. Mr. Hattaway said with higher density you have to pay a lot more <br />attention to design details and could not do it the way we have been doing it in the past. <br />Chairman Wheeler would be interested in looking "outside the box" and doing some <br />things that politically may be courageous. <br />4. BOARD DISCUSSION <br />5. PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Chuck Mechling, 1999 Pointe West Drive, thanked the Chairman for his comments <br />regarding looking "outside the box", because there were issues on US 1 and other places to deal <br />with. He hoped the County would hire a consultant with experience to bring us some ideas. He <br />wanted to see us come together as a group and to have that vision for the future as to what we want <br />our community to look like. <br />Greg Burke, 1325 South Village Square, felt we were at a crossroads and the <br />paradigm shift has to come. He used as an example the unforeseeable citrus problem in IRC <br />arguing that better planning and design are going to be necessary and the Board would have to <br />think about what they were going to do. He believed widening the roads is not necessarily the <br />answer to everything, and supported the Board getting a consultant to bring ideas forward. <br />February 9, 2007 9 <br />Public Workshop <br />
