MR. CAIRNS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION, AND FLORIDA LAND CO. IS THE OPTIONEE. ATTORNEY HENDERSON, REPRESENTING FLORIDA LAND COMPANY, COMPLAINED OF COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WHICH ARE CAUSING THEM COSTLY DELAYS. HE ASKED IF THE COUNTY WISHED TO INITIATE THE REZONING RATHER THAN HAVING THEM FOLLOW THROUGH ON THEIR APPLICATION, AND THEN BROUGHT UP THE QUESTION OF THIS POSSIBLY BEING AN INTERIM ZONING PENDING ADOPTION OF THE NEW LAND USE PLAN. HE POINTED OUT THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE DEVELOPER TO KNOW IF THEY CAN RELY ON THE PROPOSED R -2B ZONING SO THEY CAN PLAN FUTURE DEVELOP- MENT. IT WAS NOTED THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NEW PLAN WILL BE; ALTHOUGH, IT IS APPARENT THERE IS PRESSURE FOR LOWER DENSITIES. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER ASKED WHY THE DEVELOPER DID NOT PRO- CEED TO DEVELOP HIS PROPERTY AT THE DENSITY ALLOWED UNDER THE PRESENT R-2 ZONING. .JAMES CLARK OF FLORIDA LAND COMPANY AGREED THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP THEIR 84 ACRES UNDER THE R-2 ZONING, BUT THEY DID NOT FEEL IT WAS DESIRABLE TO PLAN TO THAT DENSITY. HE NOTED THAT ALTHOUGH THEY SUBMITTED A PRELIMINARY PLAT AND OVERALL FINAL PLAN TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OVER HALF A YEAR AGO, THEY HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY FRUSTRATED IN THEIR EFFORTS TO GET THIS PROCESSED, DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO DEFINITION OF MEDIUM DENSITY, AND MR. CLARK ASKED IF MR. REVER AGREED THAT THE S UNITS AN ACRES SUBMITTED IN THEIR PLAN WOULD CONFORM TO THE INTENT OF THE BOARD'S REQUEST. MR. REVER AGREED THAT IT WOULD. CHAIRMAN LYONS FELT IF WE INITIATE REZONING FOR THE REMAIN- ING PROPERTY, WE SHOULD INCLUDE THESE PROPERTIES ALSO AND PICK UP THE TAB. GORDON NUTT, OWNER OF APPROXIMATELY HALF THE LAND UNDER DISCUSSION TODAY, FELT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THAT THE PROPERTY UNDER CONSIDERATION DOES NOT CONFORM EXACTLY TO THE EXISTING LAND USE PAP AND THERE MAY BE AN OVERLAP WITH THE DIFFERENT ZONINGS, HE URGED, 43 EER -198. �
