<br />home communities in the area are all 55+ communities and felt that should be taken into <br />consideration, as well as where the wildlife in the area will go when these lands are cleared. She also <br />expressed her fears about ending up like the residents of Safari Pines, a mobile home community <br />where residents of many years were forced to move due to the change in ownership of the land. <br /> <br />Scott McGuire <br /> of Knight, McGuire & Associates, Inc. stated that there is no intent <br />to make this a 55+ development. He also noted that there is no requirement for a buffer between the <br />project and Heron Cay but the developer has planned a Type C buffer. <br /> <br /> Chairman Ginn questioned the safety problems which could arise from not requiring <br />right and left turn lanes, and Director Keating responded that staff is now looking at the <br />requirements contained in the LDRs and will be coming to the Board with recommendations about <br />current and/or changed standards. <br />nd <br /> In response to questioning, Director Keating stated that 82 Avenue is a major <br />arterial roadway and improvements are included in the long range plans. Right now the pavement <br />ndrd <br />on 82 Avenue stops at 33 Street. The Department of Transportation is doing a project <br />development study which is the first phase of rebuilding the road. The design will start this summer <br />nd <br />and 82 Avenue will be a new roadway all the way to CR-510. <br /> Commissioner Lowther felt that adds to the importance of requiring right and left <br />turn lanes. <br /> Chairman Ginn felt those improvements should be done at the developer’s expense. <br /> The State Legislature needs to look at the problem of requiring developers to stick to their <br />development plans. If the developer decides to sell the land prior to completing the mobile home <br />development, there could be serious consequences. <br /> <br />13 <br />APRIL 13, 2004 <br /> <br />
