Zoning Program Manager John F. Cueva referred to a zoning map and gave an overview

of the subject property and surrounding area; and indicated that the land use designation allows for two and one-half units per acre; that the R-1 designation is consistent with developments to the south and west; that County Road 1 will not be developed in that area in the near future; and responding to queries by the members, indicated that site access will be from the south; and confirmed that lot sizes in Eniswood Subdivision well exceed the R-1 requirements.

Thomas Pollock, Palm Harbor, indicated that he is the current landowner; that he has

tried to sell or rent the property for two years; that he had offered adjacent landowners the opportunity to purchase a portion of the land for a buffer; that the developer has assured him the homes will be consistent with the surrounding area; and responding to queries by Commissioner Seel, stated that the developer had originally told him that five to six homes in the $450,000 to $600,000 price range would be constructed.

Housh Ghovaee, Northside Engineering Associates, indicated that he represents the

future owner of the property; that a neighborhood meeting had been held the previous week; and that a survey and environmental review of the property have been conducted; whereupon, he presented a conceptual site plan containing seven lots having an average size of 16,000 square feet; and noted that seven is the maximum number of lots allowed by law.

Comments by William Campbell, Clearwater, in favor of the application and Margaret

Salmon, Chris Philippe, Robert Larrivee, Mary Jane Ravel, Kristy Philippe, Nancy Tieman, Kathryn Donnelly, and Ken Hockey, Palm Harbor, in objection to the application, were noted.

Alluding to concerns of the objectors, Mr. Ghovaee pointed out that environmental and

drainage issues will be addressed by the County and other regulatory agencies; read the definitions of R-R and R-1 zoning districts; reiterated that seven is the maximum allowable lots; and indicated a willingness to meet the 15-foot rear setbacks of R-R, rather than the 10-foot setbacks required under R-1 zoning.

Following discussion with input by Assistant County Administrator Jacob F. Stowers III,

Chairman Latvala suggested that the issues be addressed in a developer agreement prior to approval of the change of zoning; whereupon, Mr. Stowers indicated that the Board could approve the zoning change subject to a developer agreement, also to be approved by the Board; and Commissioner Stewart made a motion to that effect.
