M Mrs. Offutt felt that eventually this will be decided on a judicial level and asked if we can't take a really aggressive point of view and challenge this Order. Mr. Bailey suggested, because of the apparent concern about people rushing in to get vested, that the Commission put in a very temporary moratorium on any new plans from this point until whatever time it takes to get an assurance from the Governor and Cabinet that what they said is still valid. Attorney Brandenburg.felt the Commission could take the position with respect to all pending applications, and any others they did receive at this point, that there is such a lack of information regarding the transportation element that they could not hold any hearings or consider any more development until those assurances have been granted. He felt that would be a legal position the County could take, and one which would be very difficult for any land owners to challenge. Mr. Weed asked about proceeding with review of applications that are in, with respect to everything except the traffic element. Attorney Brandenburg stated that if he were working with the DCA and trying to get this County designated, he would argue that the county is continuing to approve applications that can be developed above densities that can be handled, and they, therefore, are not abiding by the plan. Discussion continued at length re the dangers involved in continuing to review applications and possibly being considered in violation; re the fact that the municipalities are just about platted out; re the traffic figures and how they were generated, etc. Commissioner Wodtke asked if the 19,000 trips allotted to the Wabasso Bridge includes tourists, and Mr. Keating stated that 2,000 were estimated from the mainland to island and the rest were generated from dwelling units on the island. 71 Be% 947 I
