Commissioner Scurlock felt they are setting policy <br />without any information to back it up. <br />Density Transfer <br />Page 19, line 13. This states that areas designated as <br />environmentally sensitive, i.e., wetlands, tidal flats, <br />etc., shall not receive any residential density credits. <br />Mr. King informed the Board that in the event someone's <br />property was 100% -environmentally sensitive, then that land <br />owner would be entitled to build one dwelling on his <br />property, regardless of the size of the property. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt to address density transfer <br />in two lines is ridiculous, and Mr. King believed the state <br />will address this to make it clearer._ <br />Commissioner Lyons stated that, after listening to all <br />the various comments, he planned to make a motion to ask our <br />elected representative on the committee to come back to this <br />Commission with her recommendations as to what they want to <br />do with this plan. Although he understood the ultimate <br />goal, he felt that the approach is very impractical. <br />Mr. King then went on to discuss the definition of <br />"buildable acres," noting that any area outside the coastal <br />construction line would not be taken into consideration in <br />allowing maximum density. Under our present policy, we look <br />at the gross acreage of the property to the mean high water <br />line. <br />Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that at the hearings <br />on the Comprehensive Plan, there was a great deal of <br />discussion relating to density and impacts, and a compromise <br />was reached. Now, if the area is changed, it will alter the <br />situation. <br />Mr. King stated that the goal of the committee is to <br />mesh all these factors into an overall plan for managing <br />natural resources and protecting the environmental areas, <br />7 <br />L- MAY 2 5 1983 <br />590K -53 PAGE 578 <br />
