BOOK 94 Far,[977 <br />DISCUSSION OF NEED FOR BCC MEETING NEXT WEEK <br />It was the CONSENSUS of the Board to cancel the regular BCC <br />meeting of Tuesday, May 9, 1995. <br />WABASSO CORRIDOR STUDY <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/25/95: <br />TO: James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP /WK <br />Community Development Director <br />DATE: April 25, 1995 <br />SUBJECT: WABASSO CORRIDOR STUDY <br />It is requested that the information presented herein be given <br />formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of May 2, 1995. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: <br />On August 23, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners considered a <br />request by the Concerned Citizens of Wabasso that the Board <br />establish additional development regulations for the Wabasso area. <br />The Concerned Citizens of Wabasso had initiated this request <br />because of the development pressures in Wabasso as well as the <br />group's intent to preserve the special character of Wabasso. <br />In response to the Concerned Citizens' of Wabasso request, staff <br />had prepared an agenda item, recommending that the Board authorize <br />staff to work with area residents and develop a corridor plan for <br />the CR 510 and U.S. #1 areas of Wabasso. At the August 23, 1994 <br />meeting, the Board accepted that recommendation and authorized <br />staff to work -with area residents in preparing a corridor plan. <br />• Background Work <br />Consistent with the Board's direction, staff started work on the <br />corridor study. With help from the Urban Resource Group, which <br />provided voluntary assistance, staff collected background data, <br />prepared maps, and obtained aerials. Staff and Urban Resource <br />Group personnel also developed a corridor study work program and <br />prepared background information and analysis. <br />Since citizen involvement would be a major part of the corridor <br />plan development process, staff used county property appraiser <br />records to identify all landowners within the study area. Using <br />this landowner list, staff sent notice of the first Wabasso <br />Corridor study meeting to all landowners. <br />14 <br />MAY 2 1995 <br />
