REVISED IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL AND DISCUSSION: Gene Bell announced that the Implementation Strategy Subcommittee met on February 15 and handed out a listing (attached) of recommendations resulting from that meeting. He began reviewing the recommendations item -by -item. There were no questions on the first three items. Item 4 Judd: Thinks it might be problematic if other small area plans were done and they expressed desire to transfer density out of their areas; might tend to be shifted to areas not as well organized or governed by a small area plan. Dan: Could be a problem after many (10 or 12) small area plans done. Lee: Has given some thought to issue. Thinks County will have to take on task of creating sending and receiving zone districts. Sees our group as pioneering the effort. Clint: Reminder that pumpkin and rust are receiving areas. Bob: Whether market Nvill support buying and selling rights in this area remains to be seen. Curtis: This is reason he suggested a private group (listed further down in report) to monitor transfer of rights. Dan: If we don't make a proposal, market won't have any reason to even try it. After trying, we'll find out if we're successful. Bob: What we're after is a method of creating open space. Remains to be seen whether practical or not for the Stoney Creek area. Transfers in area would not be as affordable as buying somewhere else and bringing them in. Elio: This does create an option and doesn't take anything away. Thinks larger market desirable. Initiatives like Stoney Creek may lead to creation of a larger market eventually. Feels this is a positive approach. Bob: Not putting County money in it which is the only way he feels it will work; is a business transaction between buyer and seller. Elio: An the bigger the market becomes, the more effective it will become.
