Board of County Commissioners
<br />Meeting Minutes - Final January 21, 2020
<br />In response to a comment made, Commissioner Solari clarified that the former
<br />citrus groves were destroyed by insects, diseases and the market, not by
<br />developments like Mandala Village, and he further explained that the density
<br />for this project allows for four (4) to five (5) homes per acre and was in
<br />accordance with the County's code.
<br />The public speakers continued with their comments.
