BOOK 59 PAGE 62 <br />Section II adopts for the purposes of the interim ordinance <br />the transportation section of the HIMP so that we do not have to <br />restate it completely in this ordinance since the DCA has indicated <br />that we must use those assumptions and trip generation rates as a <br />basis for the moratorium until such time as we can come up with <br />something better that they can approve from a technical standpoint. <br />Barton Ashmann & Associates have been hired to do just that and, <br />hopefully, within the next few months they will come up with <br />something the County can view as a better transportation plan for <br />the barrier island. <br />Section III defines the barrier island, development approval <br />and a residential unit. <br />Attorney Brandenburg advised that the real meat of the <br />ordinance is in Section IV, which indicates that no development <br />approvals for any projects on the barrier island shall be granted <br />by any of those boards or the County Commission at a density <br />which exceeds one residential unit per acre.
