In staff's opinion, the D.O. recommended for approval in the <br />October 16, 1990 Board of County Commissioners packet stands and <br />should be approved. Staff's recommendation has not changed:with <br />the exception of minor language revisions to traffic condition #45 <br />as presented in attachment #1. The wording changes proposed for <br />this condition are in response to a request by Regional Planning. <br />Council staff to tie -down the staging plan condition to specific <br />timeframes. Thus, staff proposes changes to condition #45 to tie <br />the staging plan option to release of an approved mall site plan. <br />[NOTE.:-- staff would have proposed this wording change at the <br />October 16, 1990 meeting if the applicant's continuation request <br />had not pre-empted discussion.] <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the proposed D.O. resolution, which includes <br />a modification to condition #45 as referenced in staff's report, be <br />adopted and the Chairman authorized to execute the resolution. <br />Chairman Eggert informed those present that Mr. Greco of the <br />DeBartolo Corporation has asked to speak first. - <br />Attorney Vitunac asked that, for the record, everyone <br />present today in regard to this item raise their hands, and the <br />entire roomfull of people raised their hands. <br />Dick Greco, Vice President of the Edward J. DeBartolo <br />Corporation, felt it was nice to see such a turnout with so many <br />showing their interest. He further noted that he was gratified <br />to read in the PRESS JOURNAL this morning an editorial called <br />"Mall Call," which set out what the mall would have done for the <br />community, and also the letter that Commissioner Bowman wrote. <br />He, however, at this time has a sad story to tell. First of all, <br />Mr. Greco wished to say that all of you have been very helpful <br />and receptive over the two years that his group has tried to <br />develop this mall and even have offered advice to help make this <br />happen. He realized the Commissioners and staff must do what is <br />in the best interests of the community, and staff has been <br />tremendous and hard working. DeBartolo has been trying to <br />determine what this particular project would cost for some time <br />and staff have been trying to help. In regard to Growth <br />Management and Concurrency, however, they must apply the same <br />standards to everyone who comes in, and the Board will continue <br />to be faced with this in the future as new projects come in. <br />NOV <br />21 <br />BOOK <br />
