19 1 Michael Harvey said the staff will review a site specific development plan, which will not 2 come before the BOCC. 3 Commissioner Price said staff will review this in pieces. 4 Michael Harvey said staff will review sites as they are developed. 5 Commissioner Burroughs asked which EDD is largest, in terms of the tracts of land. 6 Craig Benedict said under single ownership it is the 138 acres at the flea market site. 7 He said inquiries often seek site ready sites, of which there are few. He said this project would 8 become the largest site that the EDDs would be able to offer. 9 Chair Dorosin clarified that the County owns none of this land, and a developer has to 10 negotiate with a private landowner to purchase land. 11 Craig Benedict said yes. 12 Commissioner Burroughs asked if it is known when the District I extension of water and 13 sewer be completed. 14 Craig Benedict said probably the middle of 2018. 15 Commissioner Jacobs referred to signage, and said they are stipulated as being 16 externally illuminated rather than internally illuminated in District II. He asked if there is a 17 reason why this is preferable. 18 Michael Harvey said he may have to gather that information, and answer this question 19 later. 20 Commissioner Jacobs referred to the issue of trees, and asked if there is any kind of tree 21 preservation plan for the interior of these sites. 22 Michael Harvey said there is no tree survey, but there are mandatory buffers, and the 23 developer plans to preserve existing foliage within those buffers. 24 Michael Harvey referred to page 110, which states, "unless otherwise specified herein, 25 signs shall be composed of internally lit letters." He said he will review all documents to make 26 sure internally lit lights are included, as opposed to externally lit. 27 Commissioner Jacobs asked if it can be required that sign lighting be extinguished when 28 businesses closed. 29 Michael Harvey said this question can be posed to the Applicant. 30 Commissioner Jacobs said he would like to have a conversation about a tree survey for 31 this project. 32 Commissioner Jacobs referred to the buffers, and said it appears that thinning could 33 leave 54 trees per acre. 34 Michael Harvey said that is the Developer's proposal to encourage the BOCC to approve 35 thinning, but what he is hearing is that Jim Parker would like to revise this to address concerns 36 raised by the community about clearing. 37 Commissioner Jacobs said this is true except in one area, District III, and he would like 38 to address this area too. He said the 54-tree per acre proposal only leads to one tree per 741 39 square feet. 40 Commissioner Jacobs said he has concerns about the traffic plan, as there is no clarity 41 about any internal circulation plans in either District I or II. He said this would be useful 42 information for the BOCC to have before giving its approval, as it will have an effect on how Old 43 86 will operate. 44 Michael Harvey said part of the confusion is that the TIA still references District III as 45 being developed. He said right now, there is one central entrance proposed into District II, and 46 District I would get access from the existing service road. 47 Commissioner Jacobs asked if a light would not be proposed at Davis Road if there is no 48 residential. 49 Jim Parker said that is correct. He said the light at Davis Road would be specifically for 50 District III. 51 Commissioner Jacobs said Davis Road will become a de facto thoroughfare. He said 52 whether a light is needed will not be determined by residential development, but by the change 53 in traffic patterns. 54 Commissioner Jacobs asked if Hillsborough has a water reuse system.
