JUN. 24 1997 <br />BOOK <br />68 i -AGE 667 <br />Chairman felt the main crisis in this county is going to come <br />when the lots in Oslo Park and Paadise Park are built out and <br />homes in the $30,000-$40,000 will no longer be available in this <br />area. People who are buying their first home or people who have <br />raised their children and are living on a fixed income and wish <br />to buy a smaller home will not be able to find a house that is <br />moderately priced. <br />Commissioner Bowman left the meeting at 3:55 o'clock P.M. in <br />order to attend another meeting. <br />Commissioner Bird pointed out that if the county went out <br />into the rural area where the land prices are more reasonable and <br />created a high density project, it would be going against the <br />policies we have established in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. <br />Mr. Shibley said his firm would be glad to analyze our <br />ordinances to determine their impact on construction costs for <br />developers, giving particular attention to determining the <br />individual cost of a required sidewalk or other additional <br />criteria. Whenever they can, they try to help communities by <br />working with them to come up with ordinances that will allow <br />affordable housing. <br />The Commissioners agreed that would be worthwhile and <br />expressed their thanks for today's excellent presentation. <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, <br />seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 4:05 o'clock P.M. <br />ATTEST: <br />Clerk <br />6 <br />Chairman <br />
