as Conservation and said cannot be used for anything but residen- tial at 1/5. While Director Keating has made the point that a lot of the Land Use restrictions in the C-3 are similar to AG, the key distinction is that they cannot use Conservation lands for AG. Mr. Watts stressed that if Mr. Coraci can't put cows or citrus on this land, he must have some residential use, and in order to cluster and preserve 800 of the land, you must be able to obtain a certain economic yield from that land. Mr. Watts then addressed the proposed striking of the sentence regarding infrastructure from Attachment "A" and felt that sentence should not be eliminated. They had originally requested this property be in an urban service area because they thought it should be required to have central utilities, and he stressed that although it might be an advantage to them economic- ally, they do not want to go to 1/5 and put in a bunch of septic tanks on the bluff of the river; they do not think that is the right thing to do. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that the sentence referred to says "may be required" not "shall be;" so, actually you can do it or not. Chairman Bird asked if anyone else wished to be heard. Warren Dill, Roseland resident, speaking as an individual thought the question is what is a reasonable use of the property. He felt it is very clear in the state that no one is entitled to the highest and best use or the most profitable, and this issue all boils down to economics. We also know that this property has been high on the CARL list, and we all know if the County took any action to increase the density, that probably would increase its value and certainly would kick it off the CARL list. Mr. Dill urged the Board not to take the quick fix and succumb to the carrot that the Coraci people will participate in the County's defense if it comes to that. If this does get approved, however, he would strongly urge that the Board increase the setback from 100' up to 200/300 feet back from the river. This is very environmentally sensitive land and needs a meaningful _ setback. Mr. Dill had one further point, which is that the C-3 could be modified to provide for TDRs within this zone itself which would allow them to transfer out at a higher density. He believed that is already allowed in the Comp Plan under other districts. Attorney Watts wished the Board to know that they have checked and determined that a change would not affect their posi- tion on the CARL list. Commissioner Scurlock felt that we should not confuse those AAA 93 'JUN 18 1W
