M industrial development in the county. They believe this require- ment is not being applied equally statewide and that it would put us at a disadvantage. Their position is clearly that this requirement should be deleted from the Land Use Plan for industrial. Tashkede Properties - Attorney Steve Henderson came before the Board representing Tashkede Properties, owners of about 2900 acres immediately adjacent to SR 512 and Route 60, the NE section. Attorney Henderson advised that they have been going about 12 months of permit application with St. John's, DER, the Corps of through St. John's, the Corps of Engineers, and EPA. As a result, they already have had to set aside 450 acres of very questionable wetland, and this rule would possibly require an additional set-aside. Attorney Henderson wished to have a definition of "uplands." Planner DeBlois stated that the assumption is that it is clarified in itself as being those lands other than jurisdic- tional wetlands. The reference here specifically are native plant communities, and they are identified in the support documents of the Conservation Element. Attorney Henderson was -curious as to how the determination is going to be made, insofar as AG properties are concerned, and Planner DeBlois explained that improved property, for instance citrus that has been in production, is not included. In the western county we are talking mostly pine flatwoods. Cypress swamps would not be included in this category because those are considered under the wetlands. Director Keating noted that this is the plan and the implementing mechanism will be the Land Use regulations that are developed. Those will provide the procedure for determining exact boundaries and will also provide for an appeal mechanism. He stressed that it won't be a staff decision on its own; it probably will be an appeal to the P6Z Commission. 3 5fil* e c 4 � i
