N 0 V 21 1984BOOK 8 Ftp �, 942 of development and those people will be zero based. It is important to be fair to both. Chairman Scurlock quoted wording which states that "no additional development shall be approved until the affected local governments have submitted a plan to DCA for allocation of the remaining units and until the DCA has reviewed and commented upon said plan." He felt this clearly demonstrates that the DCA is mandating an allocation plan. Nancy Offutt, representing the Board of Realtors and the Chamber of Commerce, felt we must all agree we are not getting a fair shake and have not been dealt with in good faith. She stated that the position of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Realtors is that we should lobby as extensively as we can. We do want to preserve our local juris- diction, and both organizations would support whatever action the County would take not to turn control of development on the barrier island over to the state. Attorney William Caldwell stated that it seems that what is happening is that the Board is changing their commitments. The original intent was to do whatever we had to do to the transpor- tation element so it would match our Land Use Plan, not change the Land Use Plan to match the restrictive road system. As of last Thursday, however, this has all changed, and the Board is now thinking in terms of a moratorium followed with allocation of the so-called "pie." In his mind, he felt the Land Use density we had was the pie, and the Board's commitment was to do something to the transportation element so those densities and services that were always anticipated would take place. Chairman Scurlock believed we are happy with our Comprehen- sive Plan and the anticipated density, but the bottom line is there will have to be significant road improvements made and the state has moved in and is telling us that we have to do certain things in the interim. :.
