Approved 7/1/09 <br />0 <br />Brian Crawford: They can put the whole master plan in and ready to be built but at that point, our job, as the County, is done. It <br />is up to them to start selling. It is possible; they may not sell it for 10 or 15 years and there is really nothing we can do about it. <br />Michael Harvey: That is one of the requirements for having the six months, not only reporting requirements but also saying you <br />only get the extension necessary to meet your minimum permitting needs. <br />Earl McKee: I can understand, on a basic level, why you would want a project to move forward, i.e. being approved under <br />regulations that no longer exists, I understand that. Is there any other driving force on this? <br />Michael Harvey: As the board knows, the County makes certain assumptions regarding the develop - ability of areas of the <br />County and within the individual economic development districts specifically. If you start looking at the available of infrastructure, <br />i.e. water sewer, you don't want one project that could eat up x amount of capacity. One of the reasons you want a <br />commencement requirement is to ensure that other projects are not held up because of requirements for improvements. <br />Ead McKee: At the public hearing, I heard a lot, on this master plan development, some of the Board of County Commissioners <br />were mentioning long range, in year, five, and seven or nine years, did I hear something that did not exist? <br />Michael Harvey: The ordinance amendment, as originally proposed, was apparently confusing and the Board did not understand <br />the number of extensions that would be allowed for given projects. The goal is to grant the minimum time necessary for this <br />permit. The goal is not to allow a project to sit dormant for 10 or 20 years because of multiple approvals. The ordnance was <br />unclear last time. We have attempted to clarify that. <br />Earl McKee: It's written here under master plan that with all the possible extensions, are we talking five years? <br />Michael Harvey: Yes. <br />Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: I can understand the Board of County Commissioner's point of view. I wonder what a developer would <br />say. <br />Earl McKee: From a development aspect, you don't want extensions. If it sits too long, the marketability drops. You do not want <br />these extensions. It helps if you run into a problem with DOT or in this case, crossing the wetlands. <br />Mary Bobbitt- Cooke: If the developer did not want one or need one, this would be helpful. <br />Mark Marcoplos: It makes total sense, the flexibility is great, and I think it is a no brainer. The Board of County Commissioners <br />heard it at the public hearing and they got it and made a few changes and I think we should send it on with our blessing. <br />Judith Wegner: On page 68, under b, the date of approval of the project by the County, do we stamp 'approved' on document or <br />something like that.? <br />Michael Harvey: You have a special use permit that has to be recorded that states approved on x date. For Buckhom Village for <br />example, there is a section that says as approved on x day by the Orange County Board of Commissioners. <br />Judith Wegner. And that is the case if it staff approved or Board of Adjustment or anybody.? <br />Michael Harvey: This would only impact planned developments. <br />Judith Wegner. What if someone asked for 18 months but they actually get it in 12, will they still get the 18? <br />Michael Harvey: Under a single use, that is correct. <br />Judith Wegner. On page 69 e, we put faces on that project to say that we thought it should go on a stage basis to say that the <br />first phase would need to be done by a certain time or ft was not going to continue to be approved. That is still possible? <br />Michael Harvey: Yes. We don't want to limit the Board's ability. We don't want the process to be utilized by a developer to <br />usurp the .... <br />3 <br />
