Commissioners Bird and Wheeler asked for clarification, and Public Works Director Jim Davis stated that between the north property line of this commercial parcel and the Rivera Estates Subdivision there is 343 feet of land zoned RM -6, multi -family, which is proposed for stormwater management for a shopping fronting SR 60. Commissioner Bird understood they want to make up on the north side what they are losing on the east side. Commissioner Wheeler and Commissioner Bird asked for clarification on the rezoning issue since it seems to directly relate to our purchase of the right-of-way. Deputy County Attorney Collins advised they are not tied together. The rezoning application will come before the Board in the near future for consideration on its own merits, but without a binding contract for sale of this right-of-way, which decreases the size of the commercial node, the rezoning could not go forward because it would be a rezoning in excess of the node acreage. The developer would have to request a Comp Plan amendment before the rezoning could be considered. Director Davis advised that at this point in time the property owners approve this proposed sale. Due to considerable development activity planned at this intersection, with this proposed shopping center on the northwest corner and the projected Wal-Mart and Sams on the southeast corner of Kings Highway and SR 60, he predicted the need for dual left -turn lanes in that intersection and probable expansion of the roadway; otherwise it would not be appropriate for some of these commercial tracts to develop. Discussion continued about the exchange of a 40 -foot strip on the east side of this parcel for a 17.12 -foot strip on the north side of this parcel. Commissioner Wheeler asked, and Attorney Collins confirmed that the rezoning request would be for the 17.12 -foot strip to the north of this parcel. They are selling a strip 40 by 500 feet and are asking for equivalent acreage, or 1/2 acre, to be rezoned at their northern property boundary. Discussion followed regarding the potential rezoning, and Attorney Collins advised, and Community Development Director Bob Keating agreed that our acquiring the right-of-way will not give the developer any advantage in their request for rezoning. Commissioner Scurlock inquired as to the owner's motivation for selling the right-of-way, and Attorney Collins advised that they cannot rezone the 17.12 -foot strip without a Comp Plan amendment and they cannot get a Comp Plan amendment unless they decrease the size of the node through the sale of the right-of-way. 55 E B1992 `-) borIK 3 fA,C .1-) i t d�
