Commissioner Bowman explained that Martin County has <br />changed their position and now allows no density transfer <br />whatever. The wording "not more than" was used so that they <br />could come under the umbrella of this new proposal. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that he is not particu- <br />larly interested in what either Martin or St. Lucie County <br />is doing and believed we must determine what makes sense for <br />us. He felt 1 unit per 10 acres is a drastic reduction, <br />especially since we have much lower density on the barrier <br />island than either of the other counties. <br />In further discussion, Board members made it plain that <br />they felt we went through a great deal of work to come up <br />with our present Comprehensive Plan; that we are not in a <br />position to change it without going through the entire <br />procedure; and we, therefore, cannot make a recommendation <br />that is in conflict with our Plan. <br />MOTION was made by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to direct <br />staff and voting members on the Hutchinson <br />Island Resource Management Committee to <br />recommend an approach that is consistent <br />with our existing Comprehensive Plan and to <br />model our response to the Committee so that <br />all elements, transportation, etc., will be <br />consistent. <br />Discussion followed as to whether there may be some new <br />elements that might be desirable in our Master Plan, and <br />Commissioner Lyons had no objection to going through <br />whatever is necessary to amend the Plan if that proves true, <br />but did not think we can amend our Master Plan by voting in <br />a committee for something different than the Commission agreed <br />to previously. <br />954PaG 14, <br />JUL 1 1983 <br />
