FEB 2 ? 1990 BOOK 7Far 4d Director Keating stated that the Board is not even going that far; they are just saying this is worthy of consideration, and we are going to look at it some more while the DCA looks at it in the meantime. Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that the developer has to continue to expend dollars based on the "iffy" question of whether he finally gets approval. Director Keating continued to review the staff memo at length and in detail. He stressed the point that if this property is not used for a regional mall within a certain timeframe, it will revert - that is the "hook," and he felt what the Board must decide is whether or not they do want a regional mall here. Commissioner Wheeler wished to know when staff was recommending excluding 50 acres of node if they were looking at any specific area. Director Keating advised that staff did not make a specific recommendation, but just noted there is some property on the southwest corner of SR60 and 58th Avenue, some of which has recently been planted in groves. The P&Z apparently felt that was a drastic measure and didn't include it in their recommenda- tion. Staff now has gone with the latest P&Z recommendation and are only recommending that the Board opt out the 26 acre wetland area that still will be available to use as a stormwater manage- ment tract. Director Keating stressed that staff does not want to recommend one mall over another; the big decision is whether the Board really wants a regional mall here at all. Director Keating next addressed impacts on other elements of the Comp Plan, and Commissioner Scurlock wished to know if it has been determined whether you can locate another two lanes on 66th Avenue and not impact the golf course. Director Keating advised that the analysis on 66th shows there is not a need for two more lanes. M 56 M
