Commissioner Wodtke had a question as to what we do to make sure the required open space is maintained. Attorney Brandenburg explained that the Subdivision regulations apply, and they require mandatory homeowners associations, which associations have maintenance requirements and the ability to assess the homeowners for maintenance. Director Keating stated this is required when there are any common areas. Vice Chairman Scurlock opened the floor to the public, commenting that during the workshop sessions we got into specific projects, and he did not feel this would serve any purpose at this time. Attorney Michael O'Haire came before the Board on behalf of the Civic Association. He stated that the Civic Association feels staff has done a good job in putting the proposed ordinance together and feels it is desirable, but because it has been controversial in the past and since it is new to the county, they - urge the Board to take a very conservative approach. Specifi- cally, they feel there should be a minimum size for a PRD, and that it should consist of no less than 25 contiguous acres. This can always be changed in the future, if necessary. Mr. O'Haire continued that where a PRD crosses zoning districts - multiple family and single family - the way the ordinance is now drafted, the density can be concentrated in the single family aspect and the multiple family aspect could be left in open area. What the Civic Association would like the Board to consider is a requirement that the density be no greater in the basic land area than it would have been were there no PRD. If people are adjacent to a single family zoned area, they are entitled to protection. Commissioner Bird noted that if the area were all single family, there is, of course, the possibility under the PRD that by clustering you might end up with a higher density of 49 V,.
