• <br />place. <br />Commissioner Adams countered that this issue has not just come up. The issue of the <br />need for affordable housing has been aggressively deferred; now that the Board has received <br />facts and numbers as to that need, this application is before them. <br />Bill Mills, Real Estate Management Group, an agent for Lindsey Gardens, was <br />concerned because Lindsey Gardens already owns their property and has been paying taxes <br />on it. He asked where Lindsey Gardens would stand if the County approved this and could <br />not approve another project for two years. <br />Assistant Administrator Baird pointed out that they are all good developers and all <br />mean well. He thought approval of the request would not be in the County's best interest <br />because of lack of information and he could not recommend it. The Richman Group knew <br />of his concerns prior to this meeting. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Tippin, to propose a letter of intent to work <br />with this group to bring affordable housing with their effort. <br />Commissioner Tippin specified this was just a letter of intent. <br />Chairman Ginn spoke against the motion as being grossly unfair to the others and <br />reiterated that there is no policy in place. <br />Commissioner Adams wanted to bring it to a vote. <br />Chairman Ginn stated they would take as long as necessary, they were not going to <br />rush anything as long as she was Chairman. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Tippin preferred not to vote on this. he seconded <br />only to continue to work with them. He did not want a firm commitment nor did he want to <br />put The Richman Group ahead of the others. <br />March 6, 2001 <br />97 <br />BX 11 PG 356 <br />• <br />
