In addition, we are not just looking at existing utility capacities or traffic volumes on roadways; we are looking at the volume and capacity we have committed to approved developments. We are just in the beginning stages of doing it this way, and we are compiling a lot of information on all the committed developments out there. We will be having a system coming on line soon to do concurrency much more accurately. Commissioner Scurlock didn't feel the way we are looking at concurrency now is the proper approach in that the view is more to ask if there is existing capacity and whether a proposed project is going to exceed whatever threshold, be it water, sewer, transportation or solid waste. In his opinion, we are giving densities higher than what the urban service area can handle, and those people that won't be developing their property for years to come will lose their rights to develop their property because the capacity for water, sewer and roads is used up simply because it is physically impossible have 10 lanes on U.S. #1 or 6 lanes on Oslo Road, etc. Director Keating felt those were excellent points, because when we looked at the Comp Plan we did not look at overall build -out and how all the density that was allocated for the entire build -out for the county could be accommodated on the roadway system. Chairman Eggert advised that the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council has tremendous concern especially with regard to transportation, and there are areas in Martin County where they have set moratorium on further development because of the. lack of infrastructure.
