met, this property will be developed and improved, and can be <br />without any hassle, controversy, or argument at the RM -6 density <br />for that portion of the property currently zoned RM -6 and at RS -1 <br />for that portion of the property currently zoned RS -1 because <br />there is a lot of money invested in this property. Money isn't <br />everything, but the money isn't invested foolishly. It s <br />g <br />invested in the strength of what the County has adopted as its <br />Comprehensive Land Use Plan. <br />Attorney O'Haire felt we need to talk about the plan that is <br />in place because the points that Commissioner Scurlock was making <br />this morning all relate to the Comp Plan. He believed that where <br />Commission Scurlock is really coming from is that we are going to <br />have to take another look at the Comp Plan, not in 5 years, but <br />sooner than that and perhaps make some changes. At this point in <br />time, his clients have relied on what is on the books, and -the <br />two things that are said about this property are that it is going <br />to be used for medium density purposes and why.

Yes, there is <br />a difference of philosophy between some people at the county <br />level and some people at the State level, but we all know that <br />infill is faster when you permit urban services to be extended <br />into areas that are not developed at all. Regardless of the <br />difference in philosophies, it makes good planning sense that <br />this property be used for medium density, and that is what the <br />Comp Plan says his clients can do with their property. The Comp <br />Plan addresses this property in one other way, and that is "or <br />the property will be acquired by the County." He wished to talk <br />about acquisition for just a minute. Last year we went through a <br />referendum on acquiring the wetlands along the river and the old <br />McKee Jungle Gardens property, and he felt the message delivered <br />by that referendum was pretty clear in that the rest of the <br />people of this county are not <br />interested <br />in financing <br />protection <br />JUL til �, <br />30 <br />�, <br />6 <br />
