<br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard <br />with regard to this matter. <br /> <br />Joseph Schulke <br />, Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard, LLC, explained that the rezoning <br />appears to meet the compatibility test, is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, the <br />th <br />projects’ location makes sense, and the paving of 16 Street will not be a problem. He also stated <br />they have gone as far as they can pending the rezoning. <br /> <br />Bob Johnson <br />, Coral Winds Subdivision, thought RM3 would be consistent with <br />what the new Board is trying to do about density. <br /> <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. There <br />being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />A MOTION was made by Commissioner Wheeler to deny <br />staff’s recommendations, SECONDED by Commissioner <br />Bowden for discussion. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bowden expressed her complete confidence in Planning and Zoning <br />Chairman Keys and agrees with her position in denying the rezoning. <br /> <br />Chairman Lowther pointed out (page 131 of the backup) since the property is <br />zoned RM-8 the requested RM-6 zoning will be a continuation of a Multi-family development <br />pattern. He felt everyone should realize that, as we begin to diminish density in areas where the <br />County is trying to allow affordable/workforce housing the County hurts itself. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />May 24, 2005 15 <br /> <br />
