Shaping Orange County's Future <br />No report available. <br />L Bicycle Committee <br />Planning Director, Craig Benedict, reported that the Board of <br />Commissioners approved the Bicycle Plan at their April 6 meeting as a <br />component of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff will be pursuing grant <br />funding for the preparation of a map of Orange County that may be used <br />to prepare a brochure such as McCalip demonstrated at the previous <br />Planning Board meeting. <br />Benedict also noted that McCalip has resigned his position with Orange <br />County to pursue a career with a private traffic engineering firm. <br />Barrows asked if the half-position the Planning Board had suggested to <br />work with a formal bicycle committee had been approved and Benedict <br />responded that it has not yet been approved. <br />AGENDA ITEM #8: MATTERS HEARD AT PUBLIC HEARING (NOVEMBER 23,1998) <br />a. Zoning Atlas Amendment <br />(1) Z -3 -98 Lawrence Park <br />Barrows stated that she felt this item `hinges together' with the Planned <br />Development Special Use Permit request. <br />Selkirk agreed with Barrows that the two requests go together. He continued, <br />asking if the character of the houses on these 7 lots is the same as the character <br />and size of the houses to be built in the larger subdivision. The developer, <br />Roger Perry, responded that the houses will be the same; however, the lots in <br />this tract are larger. <br />Barrows continued that perhaps the planned development request should be <br />heard first. Lincoln asked the developer if he was interested in the 7 -lot <br />subdivision if the planned development was not approved. Mr. Perry responded <br />that he was not interested in developing the smaller tract if the planned <br />development was not approved. After hearing Mr. Perry's response, it was <br />determined that the Planned Development request (agenda item #9a ) should be <br />discussed and voted on prior to the 7 -lot subdivision. <br />
