M r M acres which would be relatively consistent with the City of Vero Beach in their new R-1AAA District: Commissioner Bird believed common sense shows that we are not going to allow it to be developed at any density; what we are talking about is trading it to -the upland area, and when we do trade it to that area, we are not allowing the density to exceed whatever the allowable density is for that area. Planner DeBlois felt we might suggest 2 tier density, and have a very low density, if at all, within the wetland itself and possibly have another density for the transfer density incentive. Chairman Eggert noted, in other words, it could be 1 unit to 5 acres within the ES area, but then allow 1 unit to 1 acre for the density transfer. Planner DeBlois advised that the DCA gave us a figure of 1 to 40,•and he felt that might not be so unreasonable from the standpoint of development within the wetlands, but from the standpoint of density transfer, possibly we could have a 1 to 5 transfer incentive. Commissioner Bird expressed his preference for a 1 to 1 transfer incentive. He believed it has worked for us up to this time. Discussion continued about making it 1 to 40 in the wetlands since we do not intend to have development in the wetlands area in any event, and then have a density transfer figure of 1 to 1, and the Board agreed with that concept. Director Keating advised there are just two other environmental issues he would like to discuss, and they are related. The DCA did not think that there were enough initiatives taken to protect the Lagoon. Director Keating personally felt they.missed a lot of things in the plan; however, it is acknowledged that a major source of water quality degrada- tion in the Lagoon is from the drainage canals. One of the big issues DCA had regarding drainage LOS (level of service) was that JAN 1 ,� 199U_ Z3 MON �� FtJ,_• �
