Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2023 area. The Chairman opened the public hearing. The following residents expressed their concerns regarding traffic flow and conservation land. William Ferrell Ronald Celli County Attorney Bill DeBraal responded to Ronald Celli's concern regarding conservation land. He stated that the land was platted in 1990 with conservation and drainage easements between the 12 proposed lots. However, the conservation easement did not include a drainage easement. The lots have never been developed, and the conservation easements only existed on paper, and there was nothing there now that was a conservation or drainage easement. County Administrator John Titkanich explained that once the plat was vacated, all dedications would be revoked. Further discussion was had between Chairman Adams, Mr. Sweeny, and Mark Justice, the Vice President of Construction and Development at Windsor, with regard to code enforcement issues and the new design, which would include almost an acre of tree preservation area within the 50 -foot buffer. The larger project to replace this plat would have a new Mangrove habitat and a buffer of 255, 50 -foot tall planted trees. The area immediately to the north, between Turtle Cove and the parking area, would be a preserved area with existing vegetation.
