FF - <br />DEC <br />l'O�IK v' 905 <br />applications from the intervenors that would resolve their <br />challenges, but the Commission also waived application fees and <br />directed staff to process this in a cooperative manner. He <br />believed it is a joint cooperative effort to resolve the issue <br />between the two of us, and if the Board chooses to transmit <br />something other than what Mr. Watts has submitted on behalf of <br />Coraci, they would certainly have the right to disassociate <br />themselves from that and continue with their challenge. Attorney <br />Collins did think the Board has the discretion to take any input <br />they get and base the recommendation they forward based on that <br />input. <br />Attorney Watts stated that he does not want to overemphasize <br />the adversarial nature of this, but they have a final point to <br />resolve, and if the Board resolves it, it disposes of everything. <br />Otherwise, it does not dispose of the administrative hearing. <br />They do not concede the point that they are entitled to required <br />notice on any substantial deviation from their application. Mr. <br />Watts stressed that the point he wished to make is that if we are <br />going to try to work this out, the only way to get DCA to say yes <br />or no to the 1/21 is to send it to them. He will stipulate for <br />the record that the Board's adoption of 1/21 at this hearing and <br />transmitting it to see what Tallahassee thinks about it does not <br />bind them to that density when it comes back for final adoption. <br />The transmitting of that will not prejudice the Board's right to <br />change their minds, if they get adverse comments. <br />Attorney Watts continued that the point he wants to make <br />about staff's position is that one of the things that was added <br />on in the Dec. 4th memo was a maximum lot size of 1 acre. If you <br />take a density of 1/5 and you assign a 1 acre lot size to each of <br />those 120 resulting units coming out of the 600 acres, you have <br />cleared 120 acres of the scrub potentially. The applicant didn't <br />necessarily think they were going to go in there with 1 acre lot <br />sizes when they thought cluster. Their concept was to come along <br />and run a road north/south well out of the scrub area and <br />86 <br />
