While the table does not <br />specify all 200 objections, it does provide an indication of the <br />content and extent of the objections. <br />At the special meeting on January 15, 1990, the staff will <br />provide more detailed information regarding. the ORC report <br />objections and provide recommendations for addressing them. It <br />must be kept in mind though that any changes made to the plan <br />must be supported by adequate data and analysis (they must be <br />justifiable) ; also, changes in one part of the plan may affect <br />other elements, so those indirect modifications must 'be <br />considered. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners consider <br />information to be provided at the special meeting of January 15, <br />1990 and provide staff direction on comprehensive plan revi- <br />sions. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that he was looking at the <br />magnitude of this and believed a lot of it is technical and <br />something that staff would address. The important portion that <br />involve the Commission is the philosophy part, and he hoped that <br />is what we would be looking at. <br />Director Keating confirmed that staff was not intending to <br />go through the DCA's objections, etc., page by page. The DCA <br />report is 88 pages long with 200 objections, but that actually is <br />less than their report to the City of Vero Beach, which is an <br />almost built -out city that is considerably smaller., He wished to <br />inform the Board what staff is doing to address the less <br />substantive objections that DCA had raised and then get the <br />Board's feelings about the major issues. <br />3 BOOK <br />JAN R) 19JU, <br />
