Fr- <br />JUL 211987 8 o o K r,� -C 8 74 <br />Robert Keating, Director of Planning & Development, did not <br />know if there were any differences in the plans since it just was <br />submitted yesterday. He pointed out, however, that the developer <br />has been working closely with staff, and apparently the site plan <br />is in pretty good shape, as far as complying with the County's <br />site plan ordinances. <br />Attorney Putnam felt that since the residents had not seen <br />the site plan that was submitted yesterday, the Board could <br />postpone this until late September when more property owners <br />would be returning from their northern residences. <br />Attorney Vitunac pointed out that a property owner has the <br />right to develop his property pursuant to the codes in existence, <br />and apparently the property owner has submitted a site plan <br />consistent with the present codes and zoning. If the land use <br />designation on the zoning code is not proper, the Board of County <br />Commissioners always have the right to instruct staff to go back <br />through the process and reconsider a rezoning. To do that our <br />codes require that this matter be brought before advertised <br />public hearings at the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Board <br />of County Commissioners, and that notices sent out by certified <br />mail to the surrounding property owners. This procedure takes <br />several months, and if a Comp Plan change is required, the State <br />allows this to happen only twice a year. It is a long, drawn out <br />process, but if the Board wishes to undertake a rezoning, it can <br />do so with one caveat. The fact that the Board is considering a <br />rezoning, however, does not stop the present property owners <br />vested rights to use his property. Attorney Vitunac emphasized <br />that there is no moratorium in place, and there is no way in good <br />conscience the County can sidetrack this site plan. It is more <br />than likely the site plan will come to fruition long before a <br />public hearing could be held to consider the zoning change. <br />Attorney Putnam pointed out that the Board could use the <br />power of eminent domain in taking a portion of the park property <br />or wetlands. <br />He stressed that the 644 owners in Vista Gardens <br />32 <br />M <br />
