r MAR 2, ``� <br />BG�K 91 Ft.GF ��� 1 <br />Commissioner Adams led discussion regarding the code on <br />affordable housing density and asked for estimates of rental which <br />will be charged for this affordable housing. <br />Director Boling explained that Federal and State government <br />rules will be followed and the project will be monitored by the <br />State. He listed the estimated rentals for various sizes of <br />housing units and stated that the developer must have a certain <br />percentage of units available at affordable rates. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Peg McAllister, property owner in Rockridge, asked for a <br />definition of "emergency." She asked whether garbage trucks will <br />use that emergency access. <br />Director Boling clarified that the emergency access will be <br />used by County emergency services: fire, ambulance or police. The <br />emergency services would use the primary access on Indian River <br />Boulevard under normal circumstances but if there is a problem <br />getting into the project, the emergency access will be a second way <br />in. Director Boling stressed that garbage trucks would not use <br />that access. <br />Bill Nelson, 230 14th Street, was concerned about the number <br />of units to be constructed, and he noted that 180 units on 14.7 <br />acres is more than 10 units per acre. He read aloud from the <br />record of the Planning & zoning Commission's Meeting on September <br />27, 1984, as follows: "The land use designation for 21 acres of <br />` the property is medium density residential which allows up to 10 <br />units per acre. While the R-2 zoning allows a maximum of 12.1 <br />units per acre, the developers have submitted a letter stating that <br />they will not exceed 10 units to comply with the Comprehensive <br />Plan." Mr. Nelson asked if there was a letter stating that the <br />developer will not exceed 10 units per acre. <br />Director Boling clarified that the density is calculated on <br />the entire 54+/- acres because County regulations base density on <br />the gross site. The developer can cluster the housing units and <br />leave room for green space, golf courses, stormwater management and <br />other uses. <br />Julie Livesay, 1421 5th Avenue, agreed with Mr. Nelson's <br />contention that the developer promised to not exceed 10 units per <br />36 <br />
