COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK STATED THAT DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ALONG THOSE LINES. CHAIRMAN LYONS COMMENTED THAT SOME OF THE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN MID -STREAM. HE WOULD FAVOR PASSING THE ORDINANCE FOR A MORATORIUM AND WOULD FAVOR AN EXCEPTION FOR BAYTREE AND OTHERS SIMILAR TO IT.

COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT LAND THAT IS ZONED AT 15 UNITS AN ACRE - RECENTLY THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REZONE THIS AREA TO S UNITS AN ACRE, BUT IT WAS NOT DONE, HE SUGGESTED PUTTING ON A MORATORIUM FOR THAT AREA, AND LEAVE THOSE PROJECTS UNDER 6 UNITS AN ACRE TO CONTINUE IN PROCESS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE SUGGESTED THAT NEW PROJECTS COMING IN WOULD HAVE TO FILE FOR AN EXCEPTION. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK STATED HE WOULD OBJECT TO ANY NEW PROJECTS COMING IN - HE DID NOT WANT TO CONSIDER ANY NEW SITE PLANS WHATSOEVER, COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY. HE REITERATED THAT HE WOULD PREFER TO PUT A MORATORIUM ON ANYTHING ABOVE 6 UNITS AN ACRE AND ANYTHING THAT IS IN THE MILL NOW WOULD BE PROCESSED THAT IS 6 UNITS AN ACRE OR LESS; THEN ANYTHING THAT COMES IN 6 OR OVER WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE EXCEPTION PROCESS.
