COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN AMENDMENTS - Manager
Burns briefed the board that he would like to get assistance from Jack
Dorman on several of the amendments. The
town should also be able to get help from the county for the updated
Future Land Use Maps. Manager
Burns will call Mr. Dorman to inquire about him returning to a meeting to
advise the Planning and Zoning Board.
If more assistance is required, they will ask Mr. Dorman for a
proposal. Member
Behnken moved to recommend to the Town Commission that they authorize
Manager Burns to request Mr. Dorman to come back and advise the board and
that whatever is budgeted may be applied to that effort.
The motion was seconded by Member Clements and passed unanimously. |
Manager
Burns will e-mail everyone links to examples of school board and other amendment
elements. The next meeting will be
on February 25, 2009, unless Jack Dorman is not available.
Manager
Burns explained that Attorney Chesser has a court date set of February 13
regarding the storage lot trade. We
should have a clear deed in hand by mid-March.
The Planning and Zoning Board will be the main agency for the planning of
the storage lot which will probably start at either the March or April Planning
and Zoning Meeting. Manager Burns
warned the board that there are some residents who are unhappy that a storage
lot is going in on Richbourg but he expects it to be filled shortly after it is
open for business.
Member
Behnken asked if Manager Burns had an update on the gravel pit property at the
end of Snug Harbor (Maxon’s lot). Manager
Burns explained that, as of now, there is no change.
He sent a letter to Okaloosa County but was told by Growth Management
that, unless sand is eroding away, there was nothing they can do.
Member
Behnken also inquired about the lot between Shalimar Yacht Basin and Snug
Harbor. Manager Burns stated that
the town acquired that property and made an agreement with the Shalimar Yacht
Basin that they can continue using the property for trailer storage if they
allow Shalimar residents free usage of their boat ramp.
