Pr- <br />i 411191988 <br />BOOK 70 PAGE 65O <br />Darrell McQueen, Engineer, of Darrell McQueen Associates, <br />noted that he has met with each of the Commissioners and <br />discussed his client who has a contract to purchase the land <br />known as the Town of Orchid. He has shown each a preliminary <br />site plan of what this client is proposing to develop. They also <br />have met with the Utility Department re utility services. Mr. <br />McQueen understood a lot of the Board's concern is the utility <br />service on the North Island and also the possibility of higher <br />densities. The Town of Orchid presently has a Land Use Plan that <br />would allow up to 5 units per acre (upa). The plan presented has <br />a proposed density in the Town of Orchid portion of less than <br />half a unit per acre and the portion of property they have closed <br />on now, the Broadview portion, is zoned at 6 upa. If you put <br />them together, the density of that plan would be about .6 upa. <br />He emphasized that it is to be an "up scale" development, which <br />will minimize impact on traffic but won't do much towards <br />generating utility fees. <br />Chairman Scurlock commented that his understanding after <br />meeting with the group is that the proposed purchaser does not <br />expect to be in the utility business but would prefer the county <br />to assist them. He asked if that is correct. <br />Mr. McQueen stated that he can say that those he represents <br />will be fully supportive of the county, and he submitted the <br />following letter from Attorney Darrell Fennell, speaking for the <br />Town of Orchid. <br />90 <br />
