Mayor Tyson advised that Jim Goggins and Attorney Allen Millege, representatives of the Ansin Corporation, were present. Commissioner Macht suggested postponement of further discussion to have staffs coordinate this, and Mr. Little advised that some dates have already been set in Tallahassee and he hated to see it delayed. In response to Commissioner Ginn's inquiry, Mr. Little advised that they do not have a master plan for the property but it has been discussed with the developer. Mr. Little continued that he would like to see a master plan. In his discussions with Mr Millege he recognized that the company's concerns are real; how do you plan for a 30 - year build -out in today's economy. The developer believes that market conditions will determine the build -out. Mr. Little suggested that a master site plan be done which can be changed as needed. Commissioner Ginn referred to the comments from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council which were the same as staffs. She thought it would be sufficient to send just the TCRPC comments. Chairman Stanbridge believed this project would hit the development of regional impact (DRI) threshold, if it still exists. It will be looked at by many agencies even at this level. When a site plan is submitted, it will be looked at again. Mayor Tyson thought that the Ansin representatives had a statement regarding the road issue. Allen Millege, attorney from Broward County, introduced Jim Goggins, a vice president of the principal entity, the Ansin family, a media and development concern in Florida and elsewhere. They have been involved in a very substantial development in South Florida, principally a very large distribution/light industrial area. They see opportunities at the Fellsmere location for a large distribution location with its proximity to I-95. Traffic July 23, 2002 EMEM 54 Gi u 3 JAI
