THAT N0. I AT 4 UNITS MAY BE TOO LOW AND WAS OF THE OPINION THAT <br />SOME COMBINATION THEREABOUTS BETWEEN 4-6, WITH POSSIBLY SOME AREAS <br />OF S, WILL BE WHAT MAY EVENTUALLY COME ABOUT. HE POINTED OUT THAT <br />IT IS DIFFICULT TO REACT TO ALL THESE SUGGESTIONS WITHOUT TIME FOR <br />SOME THOUGHT OR STUDY. <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS AGREED, BUT EMPHASIZED THAT SOME WAY OR <br />ANOTHER WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING VERY SHORTLY BECAUSE WE HAVE A <br />DESNITY OF 15 UNITS AN ACRE SITTING OUT THEREIAND HE DID NOT THINK <br />THAT ANYONE ON THE BOARD BELIEVES WE WILL END UP WITH THAT DENSITY <br />IN THAT AREA. <br />COMMISSIONER BIRD AGREED THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE, BUT DID <br />NOT BELIEVE WE NEED TO GO TO TWO CONSECUTIVE REZONINGS ON THAT <br />PROPERTY - AN IMMEDIATE REZONING AND THEN A PERMANENT REZONING - <br />WHEN WE SOON WILL HAVE ALL THE INPUT FROM THE BARRIER ISLAND STUDY <br />AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; HE FELT THIS WOULD BE PUTTING THE <br />PROPERTY OWNERS TO A LOT OF ANGUISH. <br />COMMISSIONER FLETCHER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT PRESSURE FROM <br />THE DEVELOPER INFLUENCING THE MASTER LAND PLAN AND THE STUDY, BUT <br />COMMISSIONER BIRD STATED THAT, AFTER SERVING 6 YEARS ON THE PLANNING <br />& ZONING COMMISSION, IT WAS HIS EXPERIENCE THAT THEY GOT A LOT MORE <br />PRESSURE FROM PROPERTY OWNERS THAN THE DEVELOPERS. <br />COMMISSIONER FLETCHER FELT WE SHOULD TAKE THE BULL BY THE <br />HORNS, BUT COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK POINTED OUT THAT IN ORDER TO MAKE <br />A DECISION, WE NEED FACTUAL INFORMATION ON WHICH TO BASE IT. <br />COMMISSIONER FLETCHER NOTED THAT IS THE POSITION THAT HAS <br />BEEN TRADITIONAL FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS; IT IS CAUTIOUS AND CONSERVA- <br />TIVE, BUT IT ALSO IS VERY EXPENSIVE, OPEN-ENDED, AND HAS NO ULTIMATE <br />GOAL. HE STATED THAT HE VIEWS THE COUNTY AS A LIFEBOAT - WE HAVE <br />AMOUNT OF WATER, AND IN SPITE OF WHAT TECHNOLOGY CAN DO FOR US, <br />WE MUST CONSIDER OUR NATURAL RESOURCES AND FACE THE FACT THAT THIS <br />LIFEBOAT CAN HOLD ONLY SO MANY PEOPLE. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT IF THE BOARD INSTITUTED <br />A REZONING, PARTICULARLY ON THE FLORIDA LAND COMPANY PROPERTY WHICH <br />HAS THE 15 UNITS AN ACRE, TO MAKE THE PROPERTY CONSISTENT WITH THE <br />PRESENT MASTER PLAN, HE FELT IT WOULD BE SUSTAINED, AND WE BASICALLY <br />ARE TALKING A MEDIUM DENSITY, WHICH UNDER OUR ORDINANCE IS AROUND S. <br />DEC 31990 57 am�• <br />
