Mr. Jerry Sexton, Planning Director, appeared before the Board to discuss the addition of Section 696 "PUD" Planned Unit Development District. At this time Mr. Sexton reviewed the Purpose and Intent of this section.

Section 2, paragraph four (4), as follows:

Commr . Windram and Commr. Smoak guestioned the reverting back to the previous zoning.

Mr. Sexton stated that one problem would be that usually no two developers would develop the property in the same way, and since the preliminary plans would have to be reviewed and approved by the Board for the next developer, why not let the property revert back to the previous zoning.

Commr. Smoak suggested having an open PUD and letting those who fit within the Comprehensive Plan limitations in Lake County have that zoning district for future development under the rigid guidelines of the PUD presented here today.

At this time the Chairman postponed the public hearing on the proposed Resort Tax Ordinance until 10:20 a.m.

Mr. Steve Richey, Attorney, appeared before the Board to discuss the proposed PUD District.
