DEC 31990 aooK 5 PAGE 344 ATTORNEY HENDERSON RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNTY PROCESS THE APPLICATION TO RIVER BEND, AND IF THE DEVELOPER WANTED TO PURSUE THE BEACH COLONY PROJECT, HE WOULD STOP DEVELOPMENT OF RIVER BEND AND GET A BINDING LETTER. HE THOUGHT THIS FIRST ALTERNATIVE WAS A REASONABLE APPROACH. ATTORNEY HENDERSON COMMENTED THAT THEY MUST APPEAL THIS MATTER TO THE CIRCUIT COURT BY DECEMBER 10TH. THE SECOND ALTERNATIVE THE ATTORNEY HAD IN MIND WAS FOR THE COUNTY TO OBTAIN A DECISION THROUGH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE BECAUSE THEY, AS PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS, CANNOT MAKE THIS REQUEST, HE ADDED THAT THE DEVELOPER WOULD AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE ATTORNEY GENERALS DECISION AND WOULD NOT PURSUE THE LITIGATION ANY FURTHER, HE SUMMARIZED THAT IF THE COUNTY CHOSE THE FIRST ALTERNATIVE, THE LAW SUIT WOULD NOT BE FILED. IF THE SECOND ALTERNATIVE WAS CHOSEN BY THE COUNTY, THEY WOULD FILE THE LAW SUIT BUT NOT PURSUE IT UNTIL THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION WAS RECEIVED. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED ABOUT THE ZONING IN THAT AREA. PLANNING DIRECTOR ADVISED THAT RIVER BEND HAS R-2 ZONING, WHICH HAS 15 UNITS PER ACRE, AS WELL AS R -2B ZONING, WHICH HAS 8 UNITS PER ACRE. HE ADDED THAT BEACH COLONY IS ZONED R-2, WHICH HAS 15 UNITS PER ACRE. ATTORNEY COLLINS WONDERED, IF THE PROJECT WERE TO BE FILLED OUT TO ITS FULL DENSITY, WHAT WOULD BE THE NUMBER OF UNITS, ROUGHLY, FOR THE PROPERTY. ATTORNEY HENDERSON RESPONDED THAT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 1,020 UNITS. ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THE BOARD THAT THE APPLICATION BEFORE THEM FOR RIVER BEND WAS JUST FOR 11. UNITS, BUT THEY REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER OF UNITS WILL BE REQUESTED ON THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY. MR. REVER STATED HE WAS CONCERNED THAT THE DEVELOPER HAD INDICATED THE PROJECT WOULD HAVE 672 UNITS, BUT THIS_HAD NO BINDING EFFECT ON THAT PLAN, HE COMMENTED THAT THE PLAN NOTES THAT IT COULD BE UPGRADED TO ACCOMMODATE ZONING; AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR ONLY 11 UNITS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROPERTY. 12
