developer and the City is generally happier with the design of the project. He believes
our Public Works Department had some concerns with the on-street parking and they
have placed some conditions that require the developer to do a further analysis of the on-
street parking in order to ensure it does not interfere with the intersection during peak
times. They presently have various issues, i.e. the trees, the on street parking and

Mr. Mark Mathis, Thomas Lucido and Associates addressed and reviewed the old plan
and concerns expressed previously. He also reviewed the changes to the plan and stated
the new plan provides for connectivity.
Com. Coward requested information on the status of the affordable housing issue.
The Community Services Director addressed Com. Coward’s question and stated she was
not able to get a definite price for the homes from the developer so they setup 3 different
choices to be made by the County. 10% credit to the buyer that could be used as a down
payment or 10% reduction in the price of the home or 10% of the home price placed in
the trust fund for affordable housing.
Mr. Ferguson stated the average size would be between 1100 sq. ft. and 17-1800 sq,. ft so
comparatively the prices will be moderate they will be working with builders that can
tailor units that on the outside no one can tell who paid less and who paid more.
Com. Coward stated, this issue needs to be refined because this was basically the premise
of the project and would like to know how they will achieve this goal. He does not
support the third concept because this would eliminate the housing on site.
Com. Craft stated the $300,000 mark keeps being moved around and this was not what
was not the ballpark that was discussed prior.
Com. Coward stated he believed the number thrown around was in the vicinity of
$200,000 when this was first talked about and with the 10% discount you were then
talking about $180,000 and then when the average wage in the community was calculated
and all the calculations were done for the goal of buying power it came to shy of just
$180,000.00. He stated if they are not able to meet those goals, then why is it being
done. He requested information be presented how they intend to achieve those goals
from the beginning.
Mr. Ferguson stated they will attempt to come up with numbers within the next two
weeks but he believes the projects coming out of the ground the market seems to be for
smaller townhome units to be in the high $100,000 and low $200,000 he believes they
can come up with something that will work.
Com. Smith wanted to make clear for the record the Board was not placing slums in
anyone’s backyard. He has heard these comments and wanted to make the public aware
of this.
Mr. Carl Stitch, Indian River Estates resident addressed the Board and stated the condo’s
and townhouses should have an association to maintain the area. He stated they should
limit the amount of rentals in the development to avoid deterioration of the area. He also
commented on assigned parking for townhouses and the ingress and egress for the fire
district.
Mr. Jay Maycumber, Indrio Road resident, addressed the Board and stated the applicant
has yet to nail down the numbers and goals in the discussion. He stated the applicant
needs to provide the actual plans and numbers for Board consideration.
Com. Coward requested a tree survey performed and it be brought back to staff and the
Board for review.
Mr. Ferguson stated they will provide the tree survey and this was one of the reasons for
requesting the continuance and would not require a tree mitigation plan until the tree
survey is received.
The Public Works Director commented on the County Land Development Code issue
and the concerns on the dedication of the roadways and maintenance etc.

time and weekend hours.
The Asst. County Attorney stated the hours were based on looking at the number of other
ordinances and the hours they had, it is a policy decision for the Board to make.

be grandfathered in.

permitted after the effective date of the ordinance.
