The Chairman first pointed out the letters received from Mr. Christenson and Mr. Crosby's letter were quite clear. Mr. Beindorf thanked the Board for letting them be heard. He stated they wanted to make it as simple as possible. Mr. Beindorf informed the Board they had been trying to present this project for over a year. He emphasized "yacht club" and not marina and noted the distinction between the two; the marina has a more commercial aspect in servicing the public, in general; either in refueling, servicing of boats, etc.. Mr. Beindorf emphasized their project was a private yacht club. He reiterated the numerous meetings held between staff, his office, the developers, soforth; trying to work out a program to get the site plan before the Board. He stated the many permitting pro- cedures they must go through because the very nature of their project is, on navicable waters or public waters. He said it just happened that this particular one in the county was in the "Class II Waters". He noted the difficulty Mrs. Goetzfried had at one point and said his office tried to help them understand what could go into Class II Waters, what was allowed in Class II Waters, and things of that nature. Mr. Beindorf stated they tried to be as objective as possible. Mr. Beindorf then introduced the officers of General Development to the Board who had traveled from Winter Park to attent the meeting, along with the staff engineers from Putnam and Depeau. He then told the Board of the many meetings where these gentlemen and Dr. Christensen had meet with the staff to try and iron out these diffi- culties, any questions that existed in their minds.' Mr. Beindorf stated Dr. Christensen had answered these questions, to the best of his ability, what things he had discussed with all parties and would be available to follow up on any matters. Mr. Beindorf noted somewhere along the line, you had to get started, somewhere, in this permitting process; you can't go to the State Agencies without local approval. They were aware they had to come to the County for their approval and expected to spend another 18 months obtaining the rest of the necessary permits from the DER, Corp of Engineers, Florida Engineers, Game and Fish, Coast Guard (probably will issue permit on the bridge) and all the County staff. Ile commented again on their willingness to give all information to the staff;.he realized the contro- versy stirred up .over this project and made. a trip to the dredge and fill AR N 2 7 1N2 48 PVT. 705 -25-
