Commissioner Scurlock stated he also did not want to hold this up forever, and he, therefore, agreed they should present something we can analyze and have them pay a fair share as he did feel strongly that they should contribute something toward improving the traffic problems in the area. Commissioner Bird agreed they owe something, but he did not agree that we are completely closing the door on recouping anything by granting the rezoning. It was his feeling that it would be better to have this property developed under one site plan rather than cutting it in half, and he believed we can control it better by making it commercial and monitoring the site plan rather than carving it up in two pieces. Commissioner Scurlock noted the owner still could sell part of it and have two commercial pieces, and the Chairman agreed that once that little corner becomes C-1, we don't know what will be on it. Discussion continued at length in regard to a Motion delaying action until staff can come up with a traffic impact analysis of a site plan to be presented and relate it to dollars and cents. Commissioner Bird felt if staff comes up with a figure of $50,000, for instance, and we ask the applicant for $50,000 before we will agree to rezone, this would constitute contractual rezoning. Attorney Brandenburg clarified that what the Board is doing is taking a look at whether or not the infrastructure in that area can support commercial property on that site and insuring that there is sufficient infrastructure there if, in fact, it is rezoned. He did believe there is latitude in the Comprehensive Plan to work this out, if the Board desires.to. Commissioner Bowman felt we must consider the impact on the neighborhood and what is good for the neighborhood as a whole.
