Specifically, DCA's objections were: • The proposed amendment is not supported by an analysis of the need for increased residential development. The proposed amendment is not consistent with Future Land Use Policy 13.3, in that there is inadequate Justification that there was a mistake or oversight in designating the subject property as AG -2 during the plan preparation process. There is no indication of coordination with the City of Fellsmere regarding the proposed amendment, (Intergovernmental Coordination Objective 1). Besides the three specific objections referenced above, the ORC Report cited inconsistencies with the state comprehensive plan and the comprehensive regional policy plan. These ectio address the same issues as the three objections breferencedhowever above. It is staff's position that addressing DCA Is three substantive objections will also address its state and regional plan inconsistency objections. Planning staff has reviewed DCA Is objections and has revised the analysis section of this staff report. As revised, the staff report adequately addresses all of DCA's objections.

Consequently, the Fellsmere Farms Subdivision plat includes a series of ditches and adjacent ditch right-of-way, none of which are dedicated to the public. The ditch roads are located partially within the ditch right-of-way and partially on the private 10 -acre tracts. While these unpaved roads Provide ingress and egress for the platted- 10 -acre tracts, the ditch roads are not publicly owned or maintained. Properties to the north of the western portion of the property are in the unincorporated county and have the same A-1 zoning designation as the subject property; this area consists mostly of undeveloped tracts of land, containing a few scattered single- family residences.
