M Commissioner Bowman wished to take exception to staff's statement that this property is not on the sand ridge. She emphasized that the sand ridge is not determined by elevation, but by the geology of the area which determines what grows there, and she believed the area has typical sand ridge vegetation - scrub pine, scrub oak, myrtle, hickory, etc. Vice Chairman Lyons asked if this area were to be developed as single family use, how many units there could be with RS -6 zoning. Chief Planner Shearer stated that, based on the minimum lot size and with water and sewer facilities, there could be about 36 units under a standard subdivision or about 54 with a PRD. Vice Chairman Lyons wondered if public water could be made available by a package plant and well, for instance. He just wished to determine the alternatives. Administrator Wright advised that there is no county system available, but it is possible to achieve the density Planner Shearer is talking about by putting in a small reverse osmosis plant and a sewer plant. Vice Chairman Lyons inquired about the sewer and water service requirements for multiple family, Planner Shearer believed the developer has already worked it out with Environmental Health to get a triplex on each 1/2 acre lot using well and septic tank. Commissioner Bird addressed staff's statement that they did not consider 300' of buffer adequate and wished to know i"f that amount i" unique to this area or fairly consistent up and down the railroad track/U.S.I corridor. Planner Shearer stated that when staff did the zoning con- version, the area that was zoned Industrial extended 600' west of the tracks. The first 300' of that was changed to Light Indus- trial based on the MXD Land Use designation, and the land between 300' to 600' was converted to RM -6 based on the LD -2 designation. This is found fairly consistently along the railroad tracks. 25 APR 2 1986 BOOK 64 FAcE 2. 05
