Chairman Scurlock felt that Indian River County has a model <br />Comprehensive Land Use Plan, but obviously, there are questions <br />about the transportation element in regard to how many trips are <br />left on the bridges and roads on Orchid Island. The end goal to <br />is to contain ourselves within the existing plan and not reduce <br />the densities to one unit per acre over the long haul. The <br />approach that they came up with was one of trying to phase in <br />projects; to continue to accept and process and approve projects; <br />and to ask developers not to exceed one unit per acre on their <br />clustered first phase which would allow them some flexibility as <br />far as moving ahead. He stressed that the long-range solution to <br />the problem, obviously, is to work with the consultant who has <br />been hired to come up with a formal plan that is acceptable to <br />the DCA to provide the necessary infrastructure for further <br />development. With that in mind, he and Attorney Brandenburg <br />proceeded to draft a resolution and ordinance. The Chairman <br />noted that some of the language, quite frankly, was dictated by <br />the DCA. <br />Chairman Scurlock suggested that a series of workshops be <br />scheduled with staff, the County Attorney, and himself, to <br />consider every possible vehicle for improving the situation. He <br />stressed that this does not rule out our continuing efforts to <br />either seek an audience with the Governor, further discussions <br />with the DCA, or any other options that we might not have even <br />considered. <br />Attorney Brandenburg explained that the proposed ordinance <br />contains many whereas clauses that are necessary to justify a <br />moratorium to be put in place under Florida law. Section I on <br />Page 4 indicates the authority that the County has to adopt such <br />a moratorium. <br />61 <br />1 • • <br />BOOK . 59 PAGE 61 <br />
