Boor, 9 t��'U 66 <br />zoning on the island had been changed from family housing to <br />timeshares for the benefit of Disney. <br />Commissioner Eggert explained that the property had not been <br />rezoned and is still zoned residential. <br />Commissioner Adams inquired whether Mr. Moody is serving on <br />the ad hoc committee, and Mr. Moody responded that no one had ever <br />invited him. <br />Commissioner Eggert advised that the procedure was to put <br />together a task force to create a plan that would help the area by <br />bringing in business which will come anyway, no matter what you do. <br />This plan would then be presented to the community to comment on <br />and make changes, or turn it down. <br />Commissioner Bird commented that the plan is still very <br />flexible with a lot of opportunity for input. He believed that the <br />final plan will benefit the property owners in that corridor. <br />Mr. Moody questioned the reason for the corridor, and <br />Commissioner Bird felt that Disney was related to it but the <br />commercial entities to support the Disney project and others that <br />will follow will be on the mainland, on the west side of the <br />Wabasso bridge. <br />Commissioner Adams emphasized that one of the concerns she has <br />heard from some constituents in the area is that they think that <br />current zoning is sufficient to handle any growth; however, it is <br />not. Retaining the small village concept enjoyed in Wabasso will <br />be a matter of expanding and redefining the regulations although <br />she realized that there are always loopholes and ways to get around <br />them. She felt that citizens should not sit back and expect the <br />Commissioners to look after their best interests but should be <br />involved in the process. She hoped that Mr. Moody is just <br />concerned and will take an active role in making sure that the <br />corridor develops in a way he will like. <br />Chairman Macht stated that the bottom line is that nobody will <br />be deprived of the full use of their property by anything that is <br />being considered and everyone will have more than one chance to <br />represent themselves. <br />JULY 119 1995 22 <br />
