JUN 12 1990 <br />BOOK 80 JS <br />area - and if a piece of property like that were developed, it <br />may not make sense to preserve a certain percentage of each of <br />several small communities; so, we are just saying you would <br />preserve a percentage of the total communities. There are <br />several incentives in that one policy, and the other incentive is <br />clustering. He further clarified that if you had to save 100 of <br />each community, if there were only 2 acres of scrub, you would <br />only save 1/5 of an acre of the scrub. <br />Mr. Bournique informed the Board that when he talked to the <br />DCA about this particular county and its problems, they said you <br />need to give justification as to why you don't need to comply <br />with the upland policy, and his thought on that is that 1 out of <br />every 5 acres in this county is already preserved. St. John's <br />River Water Management -'District owns 200 of the 340,000 acres of <br />this county, of which a large part is uplands, and combining that <br />with the County's policy to purchase more uplands property in the <br />future, he felt Indian River County has already amassed more than <br />their fair share because 1 out of 5 acres is already preserved <br />forever. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that we can also include the St. <br />John's reservoir, which is 1800 acres, and Mr. Bournique felt <br />when you add all that, you have 25% of this county already <br />preserved. <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, <br />seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 11:20 o'clock A.M. <br />ATTEST: <br />Clerk <br />Chairm n <br />
