Commissioner Bird inquired what exactly the Board wished the <br />Committee to address? <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that if the City should annex all <br />the way down to the County line on the barrier island, for <br />instance, we would run into the question of who enforces laws <br />within Round Island Park, who maintains it, to what level, do we <br />want to continue to operate it or enter into an agreement, etc. - <br />all those options. <br />Commissioner Bird wished to know what the status of the <br />development of The Promenade is in the City and in the County. <br />County Planning Director Keating explained that this <br />involves a request to the County for a Comprehensive Plan amend- <br />ment to Commercial and also a concurrent rezoning from RM -10 to <br />Commercial, and it is a long drawn out process. <br />Chairman Scurlock inquired if this matter has been withdrawn <br />from the City, and City Attorney O'Brien explained that this <br />would require the same type action by the City, but as of now, it <br />is in limbo tabled at the request of the applicant. <br />Discussion ensued at length re annexation in general, and <br />City Councilman Howard felt the Council should not take action on <br />any property that is not within the City. <br />Mayor Acor believed in the future they really need to go by <br />state guidelines, which mandate that you don't do a Comprehensive <br />Plan change based on site plans. He did not want to have grandi- <br />ose "Marriot -type pictures" continually dangled before them. <br />Chairman Scurlock agreed, noting that the County tries not <br />to get involved with that also. He emphasized what he is mainly <br />against is having a developer "whip -saw" a project back and forth <br />pitting the City and the County against each other. <br />
