TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY THEY WILL NEED, THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE TO GO TO A DENSITY OF S TO HAVE A FEASIBLE PROJECT IN THE WAY THEY WANT TO HAVE IT. ATTORNEY HENDERSON AGREED THAT IT IS A MATTER OF BEING ALLOWED TO GO TO THE DENSITY OF S TO ACCOMPLISH AN OVERALL DEVELOPMENT AT LESS THAN THAT. HE NOTED THAT JOHN'S ISLAND WHICH IS DEVELOPED AT AN OVERALL DENSITY OF 3 TO 4, HAS A DENSITY IN PARTS OF 12 TO 15. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO COMMIT TO AN OVERALL DENSITY OF 6, AND ATTORNEY HENDERSON NOTED THAT THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE THE ORDINANCE SET UP TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER FELT THE ZONING ORDINANCE AS NOW CONSTITUTED WILL ACCOMPLISH JUST THAT. HE BELIEVED THAT SUBDIVISIONS ARE BEING CONFUSED WITH SITE PLANNING. MR. REVER NOTED THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT COULD WORK WITH THEM ON THE OVERALL DENSITY ON MULTI -FAMILY UNITS, WHICH HAVE MUCH GREATER FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE YOU HAVE JUST ONE LOT LINE WHICH IS THE BOUNDARY OF THE PROPERTY. WHEN YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH LOT LINES IN SUBDIVISIONS, YOU ARE RESTRICTED. IT WAS MR. REVERS CONTENTION THAT THE DESIRED DEVELOPMENT COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED AT A DENSITY OF 6. ATTORNEY HENDERSON STATED THAT HE WAS CONFUSED - HE NOTED THEY ARE CONTEMPLATING A SERIES OF SITE PLANS, AND IF THEY HAVE A SITUATION WHERE AREAS OF THE PROJECT NOT YET REVIEWED BY SITE PLAN WERE NOT GOING TO BE DEVELOPED BECAUSE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS, WOULD THAT MEAN THEY COULD GO TO A DENSITY OF PERHAPS 10 IN ORDER TO MAKE UP FOR NOT USING THAT AREA? PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER STATED THAT WAS WHY HE ASKED FOR THE CONCEPTUAL PLAN BECAUSE ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT THE SAME AS A FORMALLY APPROVED PLAN, IT DOES ESTABLISH THE OVERALL CONCEPT AND DOES ALLOW YOU TO THEN COME BACK AND REFLECT AGAINST THAT. HE STATED THAT IS HOW HE HAS BEEN HANDLING OTHER SITUATIONS TO GIVE THE FLEXIBILITY. ATTORNEY HENDERSON FELT THAT THIS ACTUALLY IS AN INFORMAL PUD CONCEPT. DEC 171980 73 BOOK 45 FACE 493
