Pr— <br />JAN 2 6 1988 <br />BOOK 70 P", E884 <br />co -mingled with the luscious trees. Now, however, we find that <br />the existing site plan calls for a strip commercial center, and <br />there are some significant differences from what the Commission <br />was led to believe would occur. Chairman Scurlock advised that <br />he spent a considerable amount of time looking at drainage and <br />transportation, and in terms of drainage, the only place we <br />evacuated this past rainy season was right there. With regard to <br />transportation, Mr. Bird from Kimley-Horne indicated that if we <br />did not co -mingle the traffic, we would certainly exceed <br />transportation level E on U.S. #1. Chairman Scurlock understood <br />that there is an ability to do a certain amount of mitigation, <br />but in looking back to what the Commission was told in 1983 and <br />what has been submitted, he did not feel there is any similarity <br />between the two. He felt it was important, in all fairness, to <br />clarify that many of the residents were not here at that <br />September, 1983 meeting, and while he did not feel there was any <br />problem in the legality of the notice, he did feel many people <br />were unaware of what was happening at the time that property was <br />rezoned to commercial. The Chairman believed that it is the <br />responsibility of the Board of County Commissioners to readdress <br />an issue if a health, safety or welfare problem has been <br />identified, and try to do what is best for all the citizens, <br />including the developer. He understood that in order to set <br />ourselves in motion, we have to take some sort of action today to <br />even consider this item in July, and since there is this need, he <br />would support a Motion to consider this in a positive manner and <br />put ourselves in a position to address this subject in July. In <br />the meantime, the developer can pursue the site plan process, if <br />he has vested and legal rights, and if he can present an <br />acceptable plan that handles drainage, traffic and other <br />environmental concerns, then so be it. However, if the <br />developer does not, at least this gives us the vehicle to take <br />that 20 acres and make sure we don't put too many potatoes in the <br />bag. <br />26 <br />
