PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT/SUBDIVISIONS

Mr. Steve Richey, Attorney, appeared before the Board to discuss the request to review the Planning and Zoning Commission's determination, regarding denial of the development, Palisades Country Club, Phase 1A. Mr. Richey stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission indicated that they did not want to approve the 23 lots, although all of the ER zoning and regulatory requirements have been met. Therefore, the Commission voted against the preliminary plat. One year ago, in December, 1987, the preliminary plan was approved for the golf course phase, with the proper permits being obtained. A detailed soil analysis was prepared, on each of the l/2 acre lots on the lake, prior to submitting the Planning and Zoning application for the Conditional Use Permit, to make sure that they would accomodate central water and septic tanks. All of the soil reports were positive.

Mr. Richey stated that, in order to put together a financing package, to start construction of the golf course, it would have to include the value of the 23 lots on the lake, with preliminary plat approval. Mr. Richey requested that the Board approve the preliminary plat, because all of the criteria has been met. He stated that a detailed plat will come back before the Board, next year, including the other 125 lots.

Commr. Smoak questioned whether or not the Board has the authority to override the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission, with the current Ordinance in place with the County.

Discussion occurred regarding the procedures within the County Ordinance.

Commr. Smoak stated that the other issue to address, is the fact that there is no such requirement in the County, as the type that the Planning and Zoning Commission has put on this development. He felt that the development that meets the existing criteria should not be denied, until the Board changes the criteria.

Mr. Chris Ford, County Attorney, stated that he did not feel that the Board has the right to override the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission, but the Board does has the right to overturn the decision, once it has been presented to the Board, but that there may be some problem, if the Planning and Zoning Commission denied the request because they did not like it.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Windram and carried unanimously, the Board reaffirmed the basic principles of the planning and permitting process, and that, if the developer comes before the Board of County Commissioners, meeting all of the current County rules and regulations, stipulated in the development process, that a plat approval would not be arbitrarily denied.

Mr. Rudy Marchese, Director of Planning and Development, appeared before the Board and stated that the Planning and Development staff plan to bring a proposed amendment to the Board next month, amending subdivision regulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES/ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS

Mr. Don Findell, Director of Environmental Services, appeared before the Board to discuss the request to advertise for the adoption of the Florida Administrative Code Chapter 17-61, Stationary Tanks, as a local ordinance. Mr. Findell stated that, it was his understanding the Department of Environmental Regulations (DER) was having a problem with the enforcement of regulations, as a result of manpower shortage. Due to their difficulty in conducting tank inspections and enforcing the regulations, they have been decentralizing the tanks program, by contracting with the local governments, to carry out both administrative and enforcement activities. In addition, DER revised Chapter 17-61 to allow the counties to enforce the regulations locally, and have requested and encouraged the counties to do so.

Commr. Smoak stated that he did not feel that there has been any shortfall from the Department of Environmental Regulations, as far as enforcing the provisions of the Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 17-61, Stationary Tanks. He discussed the possibility of duplicating processes, between State and local levels, unless there is a demonstrated need to do so.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Windram and carried unanimously, the Board approved to postpone action on this issue, and directed that it be presented to the new Board of County Commissioners.
