It would not be mandated from the staff. The following motion <br />was acceptable to Strayhorn and the Board: Strayhorn moved that the Board accept the staffs recommendation to <br />approve the Concept Plan for Richmond Hills Subdivision, with the change of language in item #16 to read that <br />dedication to a Homeowners Association or Orange County should be the decision of the applicant. <br />Chair Barrows made reference to the bottom of page 12, and said that it should say, "the Board is to pass this on to <br />the Orange County Board of Commissioners for their decision," since they do not know if the County <br />Commissioners are going to approve anything. <br />MOTION: Katz moved approval of the October 6, 1999 minutes with corrections. Seconded by Strayhorn. <br />VOTE: Unanimous <br />AGENDA ITEM #4: COMMISSIONERS' MEETINGS ACTION REPORTS <br />Benedict explained that work is in process to get information on Board of Commissioners' actions/decisions more <br />easily and quickly. <br />AGENDA ITEM #5: PUBLIC CHARGE <br />AGENDA ITEM #6: CHAIR COMMENTS <br />Chair.
