At this time Mr. Marchese stressed to the Board and audience that the maps in the study were purely conceptual. He further stated that the Planning Department was requesting the approval of the four recommendations on page 60 of the Final Report of the Small Area Study, dated January 13, 1987.
Letters from Robert N. Johnson, Southeastern Investment Properties, Inc., Charles L. Sweat, Southern States Utilities, Inc., and David S. Lipp, Summitt Realty & Development Corporation were distributed to the Board for consideration.
Mr. Marchese discussed the DRI process and stated that the County would be required to complete a series of formal steps with DCA, the ECFRPC, municipal governments local to the study site, and the public. The DRI process can be expected to continue over a period of 18 to 24 months.
In Attachment 2 - The DRI Process, the following information was supplied:
One-half of the entire time applied to pursuing the DRI process is involved with conducting impact analysis and preparing documentation. Much of the environmental, transportation, economic, and land use impact analysis can be conducted within the Planning Department as part of the current Comprehensive Planning effort and the recently funded 9J-16 Special Projects grant; site planning and some public facilities analysis can be conducted by the Planning Department staff using some outside support donated by interested contractors who will later serve the development site: some of the infrastructure, air/water pollution analysis, and detailed site plan layout work will have to be contracted out.
Conducting an areawide DRI will cost Lake County approximately $110,000.00 additional dollars over a two-year period.
Part of the estimated $110,000.00 funding required to conduct the areawide DRI can be drawn from the County's recently acquired 9J-16 grant ($20,000.00) and part from the Tourist Tax funds that have been set-aside for studying potential uses of the County acquired property in the study area ($20,000.00); leaving $70,000.00 of new funding required from the County over two years.
Mr. W. Sullivan, representing Mr. James E. Gant, appeared before the Board stating concerns and asking questions involving traffic: ingress and egress from Highway 27; water, sewer system and stormwater; impact fees; and looking into more residential areas than industrial areas.
Mrs. Barbara Wycoff stated two concerns being that the aquifer runs under the indicated property and the damage that might be caused to that major source of water, and the pollution that might be caused to the environment.
Mr. Jerry Annas, Executive Director of Planning and Development, addressed the concerns and questions.
Mr. Anderson, Groveland, appeared before the Board and extended his appreciation to the Board and County staff for the interest shown and the study that had been prepared for this area.
On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried unanimously, the Board approved to reaffirm the previous action taken by the Board adopting the report and accepting it in concept and principal, and that the recommendations of the Planning Department be implemented, including the DRI. Included in the motion is the intent to develop a pro-rata formula to recover as much of the costs privately as possible: that the joint public-private relation partnership be developed; and that Commr. Windram serve as the County liaison to the development process.
Discussion occurred regarding the moratorium that had been placed on zoning changes within this area of the study. The Planning staff felt that the moratorium could be lifted due to the conversation taken place today.
Mr. Steve Richey, Attorney, appeared before the Board and stated that Dr. Gill has property within this area that he has applied for rezoning for something that would be compatible in the Small Area Study.
Mr. William Haney appeared before the Board to discuss his 72 acres in the center of the core of the area being studied and the future traffic impact.
On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board instructed the Planning staff to accept applications for rezoning, within the designated area, and they be considered on a case-by-case basis, in terms of conformity to the general plan adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, in the specifics of each individual case as they are presented.
