In response to Commissioner Adams' inquiry, the 58`x` Avenue change was again <br />discussed together with the Florida Department of Community Affairs negotiated settlement <br />on that site. <br />County Attorney Vitunac warned that if they attempted to change that property to AG - <br />1 they would run afoul of the private property rights act. <br />A discussion ensued on the pros and cons regarding that property. <br />Commissioner Macht inquired about the changing of the conservation lands, whether <br />we may be passing up an opportunity to use the properties for mitigation from time -to -time <br />or should we wait and do it case-by-case. <br />Director Keating stated it should not affect mitigation at all; that, in fact, some of <br />which are covered by Florida Communities Trust cost -share agreements, we have actually <br />committed to changing the land use designation <br />do that with any of these properties. <br />He felt we would not have the ability to <br />Commissioner Ginn commented that on the full Land Use Designation map we have <br />a lot of L-2, and it was not like we need more. She read the following from page 45 of the <br />Future Land Use Element: "As is detailed in the Land Needed to Accommodate Population <br />section, there is more than enough existing vacant land within the urban service area to <br />accommodate the projected 2020 population". She thought that said everything. <br />Chairman Eggert pointed out that there is no new land being added to the urban <br />service area, it is just what we are planning to do with that land. <br />Commissioner Ginn stated we are adding density, and she did not think it was needed. <br />George Hamner, 995 Sandfly Lane, quoted from page 61 of the Future Land Use <br />Element as follows: "the amount of single-family land needed is expected to increase from <br />13,289 acres to 19,522 acres". That is not a lot of property, but it does not mean that we <br />have enough land currently in the urban service area. He felt we need to come to terms with <br />what is in the EAR. It needs to be balanced out so we do not have a conflict. He felt it was <br />the single-family needs that are driving these proposed changes. <br />Chairman Eggert suggested they all keep in mind that we have gone through this EAR <br />process and those that were approved need to be put in the Comprehensive Plan. <br />15 <br />OCTOBER 29, 1997 <br />BOCK 103 PACE 259 <br />
