BOOK 108 PAGE 79 <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the <br />public hearing. <br />Chairman Macht asked if the conceptual approval were granted today, what was left <br />for modification and to what degree. <br />Director Boling referred to the many conditions set forth in the recommendation and <br />stressed that one of those was working out the 161 Street improvements in a developer's <br />agreement that would come back before the Board for approval. He stated that the location <br />of the school and buffering were included as part of today's conceptual proposal. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge asked if the school is built would it be deed -restricted so <br />they cannot go outside the parameter of the setbacks and easements already established, and <br />Director Boling responded in the affirmative, adding that the School Board would take the <br />property subject to those restrictions and obligations including the buffering conditions. The <br />window of opportunity for the School Board is 2007-2014 which was arrived at between the <br />developer and the School Board staff. <br />Vice Chairman Adams understood that if the School Board did not build a school, the <br />property would revert to recreational/open space, and Director Boling confirmed her <br />understanding and added that it cannot be a church site. <br />Commissioner Tippin commented that he helped write the restrictions in 1985 and he <br />is very conservative. As a member of the Regional Planning Council he resisted this new <br />TND concept, because it is quite a drastic change. He has gone to visit some of these already <br />established TNDs in other locations and he admitted to having changed his viewpoint. This <br />is different and somewhat scary, but he would support this request. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED <br />BY Commissioner Adams, to approve the concept, which <br />includes the rezoning, with the understanding that the 16' Street <br />situation will be seriously revisited. <br />Commissioner Tippin suggested that the Board consider moving the canal and/or <br />curving the road. <br />Under discussion, Vice Chairman Adams found it interesting that there was only one <br />sticking point. She complimented staff on their efforts and commented that this TND is <br />getting back to the basics of a neighborhood. She predicted it would be fun to watch it <br />MARCH 9, 1999 <br />58 <br />0 it <br />
