In the <br />beginning of 1987, the staff reviewed and analyzed current <br />right-of-way dedication policies, held several workshops <br />(including one with the Planning & Zoning Commission and another <br />with the Indian River Farms Drainage District), drafted the <br />proposed ordinance, and requested that the Board authorize <br />advertisement of the proposed ordinance. <br />Last May, the Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to <br />draft and advertise for ordinance changes affecting right-of-way <br />requirements. During the Summer and Fall, through several <br />iterations affected by court cases, new right-of-way policies have <br />evolved. These policies have been written into -the proposed <br />ordinance amendments and address the issues of equity, compen- <br />sation, and right-of-way corridor protection. <br />At its regular meeting of December 10, 1987, the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that the Board of County <br />Commissioners adopt the attached proposed ordinance amendments. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />.
