OCT 1 1981 PROPERTY IN THE FELLSMERE AREA BOOK47 The Chairman then informed those present that the Commission first will consider properties in the Fellsmere area. Commissioner Fletcher felt the basic question in Fellsmere is why is it necessary to designate what is now all agricultural land as LD -1 or RR. Planning Director Rever stated that he also had received this impression, but the problem that exists is that there are some lands that are already subdivided or under use that exceed those parameters, and the question seems to be how extensive we have to be in accommodating those lands. Mr. Rever reported that he reviewed the proposed boundaries with Fellsmere City officials and some specific suggestions were made, and they now have come up with what they feel is a feasible alternative, as follows: A strip from the north boundary of Fellsmere to Ditch 20 west of Park Lateral would be RR on both sides of SR 512; the Homewood Subdivision, which is an existing subdivision with lots smaller than one acre, would be LD -1; and an area designated by the City limits on the west and 512 on the north, approximately h mile east of 512 and down to Ditch 116 on the south, will be designated to conform to the development presently being undertaken in that area. - probably LD -2; it would be contiguous to the City. Discussion followed about accommodating development without having "warts" or uneven projections, and it was noted that Homewood is a platted, but unrecorded subdivision which is broken up into lots of varying sizes. Discussion continued as to the significance of the subdivision being unrecorded. In further discussion, the Board generally agreed that'� the proposed compromise was a good one, and Commissioner Bird noted that when he had been in this vicinity there was a group very much opposed to the Plan as proposed. He felt it would save time, if we now could hear if there is anyone still opposed to the compromise plan just presented. 2
