Pr - JAR JAR 1 198 BOOK 70 PACE 652 of having tall buildings - only single family "up scaler' development, fairly expensive, around a golf course and beach club, tennis club, etc. Chairman Scurlock stated that his feeling at this point is that it is premature to move ahead until we get additional information not only from the Town, but also the proposed purchaser as they have been willing to come in in a good faith effort to plan for the future. He did not believe we should completely abandon our concern because people come and go., but he did feel a short period for a breather to talk with hand would be appropriate. Commissioner Eggert noted that our legislators them first - have commented that nothing has changed from last year, and so there is nothing to hang our hats on. Commissioner Bowman reported that she had asked the group why they would be opposed to the Town being dissolved, and they said that it is a good marketing ploy to have their own town. Commissioner Wheeler further noted that once they build the first units and move in, then they will have citizens who will police the density themselves. He believed the type of people who would want to live there would prefer low density. Chairman Scurlock also believed there are many opportunities for the county to intervene if the right kind of development is not taking place since there are many permits involved. Mr. McQueen advised that he has discussed with staff the possibility of a joint review of this plan with the town and the county. The Broadview parcel is in the county; so, the county will be in on the review process. He did not anticipate the county having any problems with the project. William Koolage,.26th Ave., felt the step taken at the previous meeting asking for the dissolutionment of Orchid was proper, and he felt strongly that it is wrong to let that town continue as a viable body because he does not trust any developer in any way, especially when they have total control. 92
