BOOK 65 <br />PROPOSED SPANISH LAKES FAIRWAYS - DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT <br />Commissioner Lyons explained that this 1600 -unit mobile home <br />park is proposed to be built on 435 acres in St. Lucie County <br />adjoining our southern county line on the east side of 1-95. <br />Although our Planning Council has made some comments to the <br />Regional Planning Council about this development, he wondered -if <br />the Board wished to take a stronger position because this is <br />going to butt up against an area which we have no intention of <br />making residential for a long time to come. The access would be <br />through a proposed access road from Indrio Road. <br />Planner Stan Boling advised that we have had a few inquiries <br />from developers in our county who feel that if this is approved <br />for that area, then other similar projects might be approved. <br />Chairman Scurlock was against it, and Commissioner Bowman <br />felt it would depreciate the value of the adjoining property in <br />our county. <br />Commissioner Bird asked what would be the most diplomatic <br />way to proceed in this matter, and Chairman Scurlock suggested <br />that since the impact will be mitigated through the D.R.I <br />process, we write the St. Lucie County Board of Commissioners <br />s. <br />advising them that we have no plans to develop anything of a <br />similar nature in the adjoining area in our county, and asking <br />them to consider any adverse impacts in their consideration of <br />this project. <br />The Board instructed staff to prepare a letter to be sent <br />out under the Chairman's signature. <br />Mr. Bolling advised that the Regional Planning Council will <br />look at this in late August. <br />87 <br />
