CONSENSUS	Commr. Parks mentioned a resolution being passed in five cities to work with the County to address long-term water supply needs as efficiently and affordably as possible, and he asked for consensus to proactively pursue the idea of forming a task force to identify long-term projects such as tying water lines together. There was consensus to put discussion of this issue on the agenda for the November 15 BCC Meeting.
CONSENSUS	Commr. Conner brought to the attention of the Board a problem that the landscape ordinance, which requires a buffer on all sides, is causing a church which is building on some property that is adjacent to a road on one side and an orange grove on the other. He opined that this ordinance did not allow any latitude in the way it was currently written, and he believed it was onerous and did not make any sense to require a buffer between an orange grove and another property. The Board gave approval for staff to go forward with a County-initiated rezoning for this property, and staff will also look at including a provision during the revision of the landscape ordinance for some administrative discretion on varying the buffers for unique circumstances.
