Argument continued about the DCA actually wanting high <br />density, and we don't want that. <br />Chairman Eggert expressed some concern about just drawing a <br />strip down 1-95. We have a chance in 5 years to revisit this, <br />and also if anything comes up in the meantime. She did think <br />however, that we should be doing something around these nodes. <br />Commissioner Bird agreed that he could go along with the <br />node concept. <br />Further discussion followed about just what area was needed <br />around the nodes and whether it should be in a circle, square or <br />rectangle and what part to the east of 1-95. The Board did not <br />know how to decide this today. <br />Director Keating pointed out that you can amend this in 6 <br />months, and if the Board allows staff to do the provision of <br />these nodal areas - write it up - draw it up specifically - meet <br />with people - this can be a change that we are envisioning right <br />now. <br />Chairman Eggert asked then do you call it a special policy <br />area in the meantime so that you are saying we recognize that we <br />want to do something here and we are in the process of doing it? <br />Director Keating advised that we can put in a policy saying <br />that we are going to study and we are actually going to come back <br />with a Comprehensive Plan amendment to do this to these areas <br />when we identify the specifics involved. <br />Board members agreed that might be better than just <br />panicking. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that other idea he is still <br />interested in is giving the rest of it the 1 unit per 5 acres; <br />although, he knew that sends us off the Richter Scale. He would <br />like to try another Motion that we designate the larger green <br />area as 1/5 and that we direct staff to put appropriate language <br />in here in the interim while they are developing a node concept <br />for the <br />512, Route 60 and Oslo/1-95 <br />intersections. <br />91 <br />B0OK <br />
