mot ._ APR 151981 ENVISIONED WITH CLUSTER HOUSING THAT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PRESERVE SOME NATIVE VEGETATION BETWEEN THEM AND A1A AND THE SETBACK FROM THE DUNES; ALSO, YOU WOULD HAVE MORE CONTROLLING AND STRICTER REGULATIONS THAN IF THIS WERE SOLD OFF INTO A HUNDRED INDIVIDUAL PARCELS. COMMISSIONER BIRD DID NOT SEE CHANGING THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY, BUT WOULD PREFER TO SEE THIS CLUSTERED RATHER THAN HAVE A STRING OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES - HE STATED HE WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF A MOTION THAT THE REZONING REQUEST FROM R-1 TO R -2D BE GRANTED. CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED SINCE HE HAD NOT SUCCEEDED IN GETTING THE COMMISSION TO DECLARE A MORATORIUM UNTIL WE GET THE MASTER PLAN SETTLED, HE IS FORCED TO GO BY TODAY IS MASTER PLAN. HE CONTINUED THAT AT THE MEETING OF OCTOBER 8, 19801 HE STATED THAT IF WE SET UP AN ORDINANCE FOR MULTI -FAMILY WITH A ZONING OF 6 UNITS PER ACRE, HE WOULD SUPPORT THE REZONING REQUEST. HE, THEREFORE, NOW FELT OBLIGATED TO SUPPORT IT; ALTHOUGH, IF WE HAD A LOWER DENSITY, HE WOULD PREFER IT. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK DID NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC OBJECTION TO THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSAL, BUT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE OVERALL PICTURE AND WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. HE NOTED WE ONLY HAVE ItX„ AMOUNT OF ACRES; SO IF WE APPROVE ENOUGH OF THESE, OUR FLEXIB.I_LITY IS GONE AND LATER DEVELOPERS WILL FACE SOMETHING THEY CANNOT COPE WITH. PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER AGREED THAT WE WILL HAVE TO SAY NO TO SOMEBODY AT SOME POINT IN TIME BECAUSE THE COUNTY AND THE ROADS ONLY HAVE SO MUCH CAPACITY AND WE MUST MAINTAIN SOME TYPE OF QUALITY OF LIFE. THOSE WHO ARE READY, WILLING AND ABLE TO DO THINGS, HOWEVER, MUST BE GIVEN CONSIDERATION. COMMISSIONER BIRD NOTED THAT THE DEVELOPMENT AND REAL ESTATE GAME IS BASICALLY A MATTER OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND AND ALTHOUGH THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEMAND FOR MULTI -FAMILY NOW, HE BELIEVED THERE HAS BEEN A BIG DEMAND EXERCISED FOR HIGH QUALITY SINGLE FAMILY; S0, THE SITUATION MAY CURE ITSELF. 50
