Nov 211984 <br />now, and not in 1985 or 1986, and there should be some way for <br />the county to commit that those facilities will be built in the <br />future and there will be a financial mechanism. If site plans <br />are approved for the remaining capacity of the bridge, they will <br />not be built out for five to six years so the capacity will be <br />there during that time. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt that is easy to say but commented <br />that there are some developers who already have 500-600 units <br />vested while you have individuals with hundreds of agricultural <br />acres who don't have the first unit available if this all goes <br />through. Some developers already have a big piece of the pie. <br />Attorney Brandenburg felt we should pursue Mr. Caldwell's <br />suggestion and try to get a commitment from the Governor and <br />Cabinet that this will suffice under the Management plan. If it <br />does, he did not see any difficulty in proceeding with the <br />applications. The difficulty, however, is that the Management <br />Plan says you have to do something else and the fear is if you <br />don't do the something else, it will give them the opportunity to <br />say we are not voluntarily complying. We need an assurance that <br />won't occur, and with that assurance he would feel it would be <br />reasonable to proceed on the basis outlined by Mr. Caldwell. <br />Commissioner Bird suggested presenting the argument that our <br />Comprehensive Plan is a model in the State of Florida, and <br />represents probably the lowest density to be found on the barrier <br />islands anywhere in the state. <br />Attorney Brandenburg agreed we could present that argument, <br />and the DCA would agree we are a model, but would say unless you <br />can build roads to handle those densities, you don't comply. If <br />we can present a plan to get money to build the transportation <br />improvements, and say we have met the requirement to comply with <br />roads meeting density, he believed that would be reasonable and <br />they should let us out, but whether they will do that and look at <br />Martin and St. Lucie Counties differently is dubious. We need <br />assurances. <br />
