informed the Board that when he and Attorney Collins were in Tallahassee, they spent a lot of time talking with the DCA about this amendment, and he can personally state that the lower level DCA felt the 1/22 recommended by the applicant was not appropri- ate. The DCA, both upper and lower level staff, did concur with the request as the staff is recommending it right now. Director Keating then suggested the elimination of the following wording included in Page 294 the backup material under Attachment "A" relating to the Conservation Element: "Appropriate infrastructure such as central sewer service and surface water management systems may be required for the protection of the St. Sebastian River ecosystem." He informed the Board that with the changes discussed, staff would then recommend approval. Chairman Bird noted that basically out of the thousands of acres this man owns in this area, we are boiling this down to about a 600 acre parcel where they disagree about density. Attorney Collins confirmed that he and Director Keating did meet with the DCA in Tallahassee, and Walker Banning, who is reviewing our Plan, does agree with the recommended 1/5 density because it is outside the urban service area. Mr. Knave, however, indicated that if Coraci and the County could come to some negotiated compromise, the DCA would listen to it. Attorney Collins felt that actually it is all pretty much up in the air as to just how the DCA would react to this. If we send it up at 1/5, they have said that is okay with them; if we send it up at at 1/22 as proposed, we do not know what_.they will say, but the important thing from his standpoint is that they are not looking at the remedial amendments and making a compliance determination based on this particular amendment. They have told him they will analyze each of these other amendments we are hearing this afternoon individually and deal with them individually. Chairman Bird asked if anyone present wished to be heard on the proposed amendment. Alan Watts of Cobb, Cole and Bell, Daytona Beach, came before the Board representing the Coraci interests. He felt the Board has a good handle on where we are procedurally. He stated that if the amendment that has now been separated out from the Compliance Agreement is adopted, they will withdraw their peti- tion for intervention. He noted that the Board disposed of Mr. Barkett's intervention earlier, and if this amendment is approved, he expected all parties represented by counsel in the administrative proceedings will be in agreement that the County's plan should be approved as amended. If their proposed amendment is not granted, then they are still in the administrative pro- ceedings whether or not the County and DCA come to an agreement JUN 18�� 91 BOOK F'tia ":�a
