- M <br />St. John's reservoir which is about two sections of land and that <br />would be zero density. <br />Discussion continued at length in regard to units per acre, <br />and a combination of 40 - 0 - 20 as opposed to 40 - 0 - 10, and <br />Director Keating noted that DCA was recommending 40 - 0 - 40, but <br />he thought we could justify 40 - 0 - 20. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wanted to be sure we keep our flexi- <br />bility on densities around the key interchanges on 1-95 where the <br />commercial/ industrial nodes are, and Director Keating agreed <br />that an interchange ever coming in at Olso would be a major <br />justification for changing our plan. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that we generally have tended to <br />think of 1-95 as a dividing line between the urban area to the <br />east and agriculture to the west, but the real fact of life is <br />that if you are looking for an area of nice future homesites for <br />development in this county, you will need 3 things - first, a <br />buildable piece of land, meaning relatively high and dry; second, <br />access to it,'and third, utilities. 1-95 running through this <br />county is built on the 10 mile ridge, which means you have got <br />probably 1 to 2 miles of good, dry, buildable land on either side <br />of the highway; 1-95 gives you primary access; and thirdly, it is <br />relatively close to the other urban area where it is not that <br />difficult to extend utilities. Commissioner Bird also felt the <br />demand for the type development we are discussing will be in that <br />area along the 1-95 corridor within the next 20 years. <br />Chairman Eggert agreed, but asked whether that demand will <br />be there before 10 years or after. She brought up the possibil- <br />ity of having a line of property running along 1 -95: -back a <br />certain distance designated at 1 unit to 10 acres and then <br />further west at 1 - 20 or 1 - 40: <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed Commissioner Bird was exactly <br />right with his comments, especially in regard to extending <br />utilities, and he could agree with Chairman Eggert's suggestion <br />of having a certain distance closer to 1-95 at a higher density. <br />15 BOCK ��r ) A I,F 91 <br />
