Discussion then ensued regarding access off Old Dixie, and Commissioner Scurlock again stressed his belief that we need to work toward marginal access off U.S.I however we accomplish it. It was noted that this will be discussed at a Special Meeting next week. Commissioner Bird asked if we have been consistent with our policy or whether Mr. Law is getting caught in a transition, and Director Keating stated that we are being consistent; he felt the map which shows the marginal access easements we have obtained along U.S.I proves this. Commissioner Wodtke noted that what he would really like to prevent is allowing people building in an area where we hope we will have a road in the future. Public Works Director Davis commented that we could have a setback ordinance as has been done on SR 60, and Director Keating pointed out that the new commercial and industrial zoning districts have increased front yard setbacks and you can park in those setbacks, which would facilitate this type situation. Mr. McQueen argued that the Ellsworth property was inconsistent; it was just approved with an entrance off U.S.I and an exit onto Old Dixie; possibly that was a good compromise, but they were not offered that compromise. Director Keating confirmed that with Ellsworth they did specify connection on Old Dixie and they were allowed to build within the 401, but he noted that staff was looking at what the Plan said, and it said Old Dixie will be the frontage road in the area where it is that close to U.S.1. Commissioner Scurlock assumed that if the developer went back and came up with another scenario to access Old Dixie, then we could consider it, but what is before us today is whether or not we allow them to build a building within the 40' access. Mr. McQueen stated that if they could still have use of the setback area and it would still count in their overall density and flow area, they would go ahead and concede the 25' setback. c� 33 �jl OCT2 1985 BOOK 6l.+ Pw�S
