S EP <br />16 <br />1986 <br />BOOK <br />65 F,{GE 175 <br />comment, <br />not a veto power, but Commissioner Lyons <br />believed that <br />the Regional Planning Council has a veto power in these matters. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed it is a threat, but felt that <br />perhaps we have some safeguards. He did not feel that it is <br />laying there ticking like a time bomb. <br />Attorney Vitunac pointed out that the concern is more than <br />just densities, it is altitude restrictions and allowable land <br />uses. <br />The Commissioners agreed that as the Town of Orchid <br />currently exists, there is no purpose in having a town <br />established. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that this is the appropriate time <br />to draft special bills for the legislature and if the County is <br />of a mind, the Legal Department could draft a bill to be given to <br />our State Legislator after approval by the Board. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lyons, that the Board request State <br />Representative Dale Patchett to initiate special <br />legislation to disincorporate the Town of Orchid. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bird suggested that before we <br />go to that extreme, we sit-down with the representatives of the <br />Town of Orchid and tedl them our concerns, and he was informed <br />that this had been done and the unenforceable contract is the <br />result of that discussion. <br />Commissioner Bowman pointed out that all the original people <br />have pulled out and are gone, and Attorney Vitunac stressed that <br />we are not depriving them of using their land; we are just <br />putting them under the County's land use requirements. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously (4-0). <br />42 <br />
