m bm - <br />DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT THE REVISED ORDINANCE, AND COMMIS- <br />SIONER BIRD QUESTIONED WHETHER OR NOT THE BOARD WOULD BE BETTER OFF <br />TO CONTINUE THIS PUBLIC HEARING UNTIL THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING AND, <br />IN THE MEANTIME, HAVE A WORKSHOP MEETING BECAUSE THIS ORDINANCE WILL <br />REQUIRE A GOOD DEAL OF WORK AND TIME, OR POSSIBLY IT COULD BE A SPECIAL <br />CALLED MEETING. <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS SUGGESTED TAKING THE PUBLIC INPUT TODAY AND <br />ASKED IF ANY PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. <br />ROBERT SCHUMAN, ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE DELTONA CORPORATION, <br />WISHED TO GIVE THE BOARD THEIR COMMENTS IN REGARD TO IMPROVING THE PRO- <br />POSED ORDINANCE. MR. SCHUMAN STATED THAT THEY FELT THE WORDING DIRECTING <br />THIS TO MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS WAS IMPROPERLY DONE IN THAT IT POSSIBLY COULD <br />INCLUDE EVERY ORANGE GROVE, FARM, ETC. SECONDLY, THEY WERE CONCERNED <br />THAT THE ORDINANCE IS SO DETAILED THAT IT IS PRACTICALLY A MINI DEVELOP- <br />MENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT,AND IT WOULD REQUIRE A GREAT DEAL OF TIME TO <br />AMASS THE REQUIRED INFORMATION. HE CONTINUED THAT ALL THIS VOLUMINOUS <br />INFORMATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE PLANNING & ZONING DEPARTMENT TO <br />EVALUATE IN 45 TO 60 DAYS, BUT THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT SPECIFY THE CRI- <br />TERIA BY WHICH THIS WILL BE EVALUTED, WHICH RESULTS IN AN INEFFICIENT <br />ORDINANCE. MR. SCHUMAN ESTIMATED THAT TO HAVE THIS IMPACT EVALUATION <br />DONE PROFESSIONALLY WOULD REQUIRE EXPANDING THEIR DEVELOPMENT COSTS <br />UPWARD BY $10,000 TO $30,000. HE POINTED OUT THAT WHILE THIS IS A COST <br />OF DEVELOPMENT, YOU ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THE COST TO THE COUNTY. MR. <br />SCHUMAN NOTED THAT IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, THEY HAVE BEEN FORCED TO <br />FORM AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS AND <br />PHASE THEM OUT TO OTHER AGENCIES; S0, YOU MUST CONSIDER THE STAFF NECES- <br />SARY TO REVIEW THIS EFFECTIVELY. HE AGREED THAT'YOU END UP WITH A <br />MASSIVE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE EFFECTIVE CRITERIA <br />WITH WHICH TO EVALUATE IT, YOU HAVE WASTED YOUR MONEY. - <br />MR. SCHUMAN THEN WENT ON TO POINT OUT DEFICIE"NCIESIN THE <br />PROPOSED ORDINANCE AND EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH AS <br />TO PROCEDURES OR PROVISIONS ALLOWING THE DEVELOPER TO OBTAIN REPORTS <br />7 <br />J U L 1 1981 wx 46 PAGE 7,30 <br />
