<br />because this proposal is exempt and that staff had applied the rules the way they are written. However, <br />tests will be conducted as the development review process goes along at site plan approval and at building <br />permit time, he said. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wheeler thought that approach was accurate. He wanted everyone to know that <br />the County looks at the traffic count when the plan comes in, and not just the rezoning. They also look at <br />compatibility with the neighborhoods more so than the traffic count. Director Keating concurred. <br /> <br />Director Keating concluded by asking the Board to approve staff’s and the Planning & Zoning <br />Commission’s recommendation. <br /> <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Moler <br />, Masteller & Moler, Inc., representing the applicant JDC Florida, Inc., <br />supported Director Keating’s recommendation and invited questions from the Board. Mr. Moler <br />introduced Dennis Witherow and Chris Campione from JDC who were also in attendance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bowden asked why JDC needed multi-family. <br /> <br />Mr. Moler <br />explained that the project site is small and for marketing purposes his client feels it <br />would be more consistent to have a uniform zoning and a uniform product across the site. <br /> <br />Claire Farrington <br />, resident of CasaBella, complained that when she purchased her home her <br />understanding was that the units would be single-family dwellings. It is now unfair to change to <br />multi-story, especially that they did not have a voice in it, she stated. She preferred single story structures <br />and requested to see the plans before development commences. <br /> <br />AUGUST 22, 2006 31 <br /> <br />
