JUL 6 1983 OflX ' PO Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that there is a great deal of difference between the environmentally sensitive lands and the upland to which you can transfer in the three counties; the width of the Barrier Island varies considerably; the amount of mangrove; etc., and he believed it is difficult to adopt a density transfer policy that will be equitable within the three counties because of this. Commissioner -Bowman noted that setting a policy of one transfer credit for ten acres would allow Martin County to have their zero transfer. She stated that her Ad Hoc Committee is through - this is their final report and it has been circulated to the complete Hutchinson Island Resource Management Planning Committee. This report is actually a rewrite of the original by Indian River County representa- tives. Commissioner Scurlock felt the critical part is the possible modifications we would have to make to our plan; and therefore, all we actually have to do is address the exception sheet dated 6/29. He suggested that the Board members be given time to study this and then vote on it. Commissioner Bowman recommended that the Board not waste a lot of time on it because the main committee will have three more meetings. Chairman Bird asked if the Ad Hoc Committee will be kept available for comment on any further changes which might be made, and Commissioner Bowman reiterated that the Ad Hoc Committee has completed its appointed task. Commissioner Wodtke noted that Jeannette Lier, our representative to the Hutchinson Island Resource Planning Management Committee, had a question about the number of environmentally sensitive acres and transfer credits, and he wished to know how many environmentally sensitive acres we have that would not be involved with any type of a transfer, 81
