r BOOK 103 PAGE 575 which had been done. He presented rights-of-way needs and advised paving requirements for the thoroughfare plan roads within the area of TND. He indicated the development would accelerate the need for improving the thoroughfare plan roads. Also, he generally explained the phasing. He mentioned the hotel and ALF total care limits. He advised that generally the setbacks are greater farther from town center and pointed out that there is less density away from the town center. He called attention to the section in the memorandum concerning the annual reports (#24). He closed his presentation with staff's recommendation to approve the rezoning with the conditions enumerated in the memorandum and pointed out that the first 9 conditions occur at the front end of the development. He once again stated that this has been essentially treated as a DRI with the attendant requirements and offered to answer any questions the Commissioners might have. The Commissioners made inquiries concerning the streets which will go through the TND, setbacks, buffering, impact on Westlake Estates, and other concerns, to which staff responded. Because of Commissioners' serious concerns about 16* Street and the impact on the homes in Westlake Estates, Public Works Director James Davis discussed preliminary ideas on paving and canals in that area. Commissioners presented several alternative suggestions which would create less impact on the Westlake Estates' homeowners and Director Davis cautioned that the suggested culverting of the canal was a very costly solution and the intersection of 16t` Street and 74th Avenue would then be off -set. Ultimately, he thought relocating the canal would be less costly than culverting at $110/foot. The Chairman declared a 5 -minute recess at 10:10 a.m. and the meeting was reconvened at 10:18 a.m. with all Commissioners and staff present. There were no further questions of staff and the Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Attorney Bruce Barkett appeared for the applicant and pointed out that the application was not only supported by staff but also by the Planning and Zoning Commission. He offered to answer any questions the Commissioners might have. He pointed out that any costs attendant to paving the roadways would be those of the County, not the developer. MARCH 9,1999 54
