affordable housing was discussed extensively particularly in the <br />central area where they wanted to extend the one unit per 5 acres <br />further eastward that what we reflect. <br />Chairman Eggert believed that the DCA truly does not care <br />about the economic factors. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that his real concern is that <br />he personally feels the DCA is doing something dramatically <br />different than the state legislature has on the books. They have <br />gotten into this policy, and he finds it very disturbing to go <br />through all our public hearing process with the community as we <br />did and develop an approach we felt might be acceptable, and then <br />they review it and say No. He was not sure that he likes this <br />whole process, and felt possibly the ultimate -answer is to band <br />together with all the other 67 counties and stand our ground now <br />before people out there in the next 5 years suddenly find out <br />what they have lost. He did realize that we stand the risk of <br />losing a large amount of revenue. <br />Commissioner Bird believed the original intent of the <br />Comprehensive Plan Act was good because it forced all counties to <br />plan for the future and you had to come up with a plan, but it <br />was your plan. Now we have come almost to the point where they <br />are not just telling you to plan, but they are doing the plan for <br />you, and he has a problem with that because he believes the local <br />government has a better knowledge of what is best for our county. <br />Commissioner Scurlock wished to know where we got away from <br />the concept that if you could provide the needed infrastructure, <br />you could go from there. <br />Chairman Eggert believed it is because the DCA sees urban <br />sprawl taking over. She also believed our urban service areas <br />can move out as we get growth and we can do something at the 2 <br />and 5 year point. She felt Iwe must do the best we can with this <br />right now while we have the ability to amend it because while <br />people may complain to you about it, when you ask them to go to <br />the state and make <br />the same complaint, <br />they disappear. <br />SEP 11199 <br />9 <br />F UE: <br />
