� ® r the paving and engineering of the road as a secondary collector between Lateral E and the FEC railroad crossing. Planner Boling noted that the first condition that they have recommended be attached to the approval has been satisfied in that the property has been rezoned to RM -4. Director Keating advised that golf is a special exception use in this district, and that is why it is coming to the Board. This is conceptual, and the applicants already have submitted a more formal site plan, which will not come back to the Board. Commissioner Bird informed the Board that he and Mr. Briggs have had some conversations about the fact that their proposed golf course and the County's are in the same area. He believed these courses can complement each other in many ways; both have great architects and similar property, and if it is possible to work together, there may be some possibility of saving money for each because they are on parallel construction schedules. Commissioner Wodtke commented on the statement that the applicant proposes to connect to the water and wastewater plant at Bent Pines. Commissioner Scurlock reported that we have had ongoing dis- cussions with Florida Land, and they would prefer not being in the utility business. There also has been discussion as to whether or not the County would prefer to acquire that system or phase it out completely and take it to the new Gifford system when it is constructed. Our agreement with Florida Land totally expires at the end of the seventh year, and we have the right to take over or the right to do nothing and let them continue to operate, but the franchise has to be renegotiated in any event. Commissioner Wodtke referred back to the road situation, noting that while we have required donations of right-of-way from some areas, we purchased the right-of-way for Storm Grove Road, and he believed some kind of a rebate or contribution would be only fair. 37 �� 2 BOOK '62 PAGE 327 5
