DR. HERBERT KALE REPORTED THAT TEN YEARS AGO HE CALLED THE ATTENTION OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION TO THIS ZONING; THEY HAD A JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION STUDY, AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT IT BE REZONED RESIDENTIAL. THIS LAND IS VERY CLOSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL SENSI— TIVE AREAS, BUT HE FELT IT COULD BE LOW DENSITY. MR. ROGERS CONTINUED TO ARGUE IN FAVOR OF AN LD -2 DESIGNA— TION, NOTING THAT THERE ARE VERY FEW AREAS IN THE COUNTY SUITABLE FOR THE MARINA ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT THEY ARE PLANNING; HE DID NOT FEEL ACCESS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OTHER AREAS ONLY APPROACHED BY ONE HIGHWAY, AND HE POINTED OUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE RE— QUIREMENTS OF ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WHEN DEVELOPING. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER FELT THE INDISPUTABLE FACT IS THAT IT IS AN -ISLAND, AND HE DID NOT FEEL IT COULD BE COMPARED TO THE BARRIER ISLAND. THE WATER AND SEWER PROBLEM WILL HAVE AN IMPACT. HE FELT LD -1 WAS A GRACIOUS ALLOWANCE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE LAND WAS ZONED COMMERCIAL, IT DOES NOT GIVE THE DEVELOPER INHERENT RIGHTS, AND ALSO THE LD -2 DESIGNATION WOULD NOT NECESSARILY GIVE HIM THE RIGHT TO DEVELOP AT 6 UNITS.PER ACRE. ANY PLAN SUBMITTED UNDER LD -2 WOULD HAVE TO RIDE ON ITS OWN WITH REGARD TO SEWER, WATER, ETC. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMIS— SIONER BIRD, TO CHANGE THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY UNDER DISCUSSION FROM LD -1 TO LD -2, CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO VOTE AGAINST THE MOTION ON THE BASIS OF THE TRAFFIC SITUATION, THE ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY, AND THE UTILITIES PROBLEM. COMMISSIONER BIRD NOTED THAT WE INHERITED SOME R-2 ZONING' ON THE BARRIER ISLAND, AND HE DOUBTED THAT TODAY WE WOULD HAVE ZONED THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY COMMERCIAL. OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO KEEP AS LOW A DENSITY AS WE CAN, BUT HE POINTED OUT ALL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WILL HAVE TO BE MET BY THE DEVELOPER. r -9- Rucjo 47 PACE 571
