r r BOOK Ft':GE Ken Richardson of Southern Realty Management Corporation and Dean Luethje of Carter Associates, Inc., consultant engineers, asked whether they could go ahead and make a presentation now or whether the Board wished to consider whether they wanted to reconsider. Chairman Eggert felt the Board needed to consider whether to reconsider. Attorney Vitunac advised that the Board does not need to decide whether to reconsider it until after their matter is before the public and that would be the basis on which to take the vote. Chairman Eggert advised Mr. Luethje that he and his client have five minutes to state their position, and Commissioner Scurlock requested that only new information be presented. Mr. Luethje didn't know what had been presented at the last meeting as he and his client were not present. He would like to take the five minutes to go over three points: physical conditions; staff recommendations on the agreement, plus the staff Is recommendation on the rezoning, which the Board may or maY not have seen; and then the economics of it, if that is a consideration. Referring to a preliminary site plan, Mr. Luethje described the areas surrounding the subject property on the northwest corner of Kings Highway and SR -60, explaining that Kings Highway needs 40 feet of additional right-of-way and the developer would be pushed in from the east by 40 feet. From a maintenance standpoint, they would like to have 17.5 feet (or one-half acre) to the north rezoned from P14-6 to CG. The RM -6 parcel in back of the CG parcel is planned for stormwater retention area and green space for the shopping center and there would be landscaping in there. They realize that this piece of property has been to the well several times as far as rezoning is concerned, and they figure this is the last go to the well on this situation. Mr. Luethje understood that County staff has come up with an agreement that would allow them to basically set the price on this particular property based on what they are paying for this piece of property. Generally, the RM -6 property is about $75,000 an acre and the CG area is about $250,000, about three times as much. He understood that the Board expressed concern at the last meeting that possibly this was a contract zoning situation, but that Deputy Attorney Will Collins had found some previous court cases that this would not be contract zoning, in his opinion, because it stands on the zoning qualifications. Mr. Luethje pointed out that Planning staff has prepared an 8 -page document on why they feel this could be done from a zoning standpoint, not an economical standpoint. However, the economics definitely are a consideration. 14 _I
