COPY OF CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS WITH DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/31/90: TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: �L William C. Collins II - Assistant County Attorney L DATE: August 31, 1990 SUBJECT: Settlement Negotiations with Department of Community Affairs On August 14, 1990 the Board authorized County Administrator Chandler, Community Development Director Keating and me to travel to Tallahassee in an attempt to work out a settlement with the Department of Community Affairs over our comprehen- sive plan. I presented the potential approaches towards settlement as set out in my memo to you of August 14, 1990. Below is the summary result of those negotiations. 1. On the issue of inconsistency with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council Native Upland Vegetation Rule, the DCA staff seemed unwilling to consider anything less than a 25% protection rule. We then pointed out that the Indian River County proposal Included protection through purchase as well as through land development regulation, and that this 2 -pronged approach would better accomplish the regional goals than a regulation which was only applied to develop- ments, many of which may not be in critical areas. I believe the DCA staff came around to our position on the Native Upland Vegetation Rule. Mr. Keating had suggested purchasing 300 acres of pine flatwood by 1993. The DCA staff recommended that the plan identify additional acquisition after 1993. 49
