Chairman Lyons felt we should make it a goal to put appropriate wording in the Plan to cover this situation as he imagined it would be true of agricultural zones throughout the county. Dave Sweitzer, resident of the east end of Ditch 17, wished to know if the land owners would be taxed according to the Land Use Plan designation. Chairman Lyons explained that whether or not someone has a bonafide agricultural use is the determining factor, and the Land Use Plan has no bearing on taxation. Motion was made by Commissioner Fletcher, seconded by Commissioner Scurlock, to accept the recommendation of the Planner on the compromise agreement that has been approved by the majority of Fellsmere owners to be adopted in the final plan and also to include in the Plan appropriate wording in regard to "five acres, more or less" so that having slightly under five acres would not require obtaining a variance in order to build. Commissioner Wodtke requested that Mrs. Wilson's group continue their study of the area south of the LD -1 and see if there is a possibility they might come up with some areas they feel would be legitimate for an RR designation. He emphasized that this designation does not necessarily mean that there will be two houses built for every five acres. The Chairman called for the question. It was voted on and carried unanimously. I-95 AND STATE ROAD 512 INTERSECTION Chairman Lyons announced that the next area to be discussed would be the intersection of I-95 and SR 512.. Planning Director Rever noted that this intersection is one of two areas in the county presently designated for major commercial and industrial and it is located at a major artery. He explained that one of the most important factors in locating industrial property is to afford adequate access for the necessary traffic to get in and out without imposing on the surrounding territory.
