    Commissioner Zalak recalled that when the conversation was held the 1-

  • October 20, 2015

    Commissioner Zalak advised that the Board spent hours on this matter for a unified project that had an equine look and if B-2 is approved it can be developed under normal LDC regulations rather than being equine specific.

    Nan Bonfield , SW 16th Avenue, applicant, noted the property was in the equine commerce support district, which was a commercial use to support the horse park. She stated they came back and requested the EC as it was more palatable to try and achieve what they were trying to achieve from an individual property owners perspective.

    Ms. Bonfield stated she and Ms. Doherty, whose property is south of hers, have requested this change. She advised that she has spoken to many property owners within the EC and no one has objected. The property can and is intended to support the horse park. Ms. Bonfield noted the current Master Plan for utilities is almost up to SW 130th

    Street. Mr. Bouyounes stated the lines will have to be extended to serve that property. Chairman McClain opened the floor to public comment. Douglas Shearer, SE 85th Street, stated the property has always been zoned A-1

    and commented on water and sewer not being available past CR 484. He opined that it will cost in excess of $1,000,000 to get water and sewer to this location. Mr. Shearer urged the Board to sit on this or at least make it a PUD so that the county has some control over development. He questioned how 2 property owners can file on the same request rather than separately.

    Joanne Woerner, SW 16th Avenue, advised that she wrote a letter of objection, noting she purchased her property without any knowledge that this was a commercial area. She voiced her concern with the property being treated with care and addressed the commercial development on the other side of 1-75, which has pushed all the horse people out. Ms. Woerner opined that the horse people will move to the northwest, toward Levy County, far from the horse park. She noted a PUD is preferable so as to support the horse park and greenway trails.

    1stSteve Gray, NE Avenue, attorney, representing the applicants, noted his involvement now for a number of years with the land use on this particular road . When the equine support commerce district came in, the plan was for it to be a commonly designed master PUD; however, what was expected with a prospective buyer did not occur and now the reality situation has to be faced . There are a lot of different parcels here and each needs to stand alone, unless a large user is found, in order to do anything with their property. If trying to impose some kind of standard, a better arrangement might be to try to have some agreements for limited curb cuts, etc., as there are different things that can be done other than a PUD. The problem with a multi-owner PUD is that every property owner has to agree to each change and they tend not to work. It is more likely that commercial development will be generated that will require and therefore pay for water and sewer extension if B-2 zoning is on the property. No one will do anything on this property with an A-1 zoning classification other than agricultural uses. The A-1 does not match the EC land use designation, which stays in place until undone, but in reality if the EC properties are rezoned, particularly on the street, then finding a user to generate that momentum to get the water and sewer extended is more likely, which will not happen with A-1 zoning as there is no development on an A-1 property that will require water and sewer. One of the big problems here is that water and sewer does need to be extended north to the horse park.

    At one time the horse park had a real prospect for an RV park, which would have made a lot of sense; however, the lease at that time did not allow that use. The lease has

    horse or and is struggling if a bunch of property owners are together.

    Mr. Gray if there is no benefit then it does not get a user and if is no user then the property will remain in its current (agricultural) use. When county changed the land use to it knew what the uses were, which is not an agricultural use. Commissioner the county still had control until the zoning is changed. Making sure development fits and forms correctly into the community is the major concern on corridor as this is a unique area. Mr. Gray not disagree; it is a corridor that the county wants to develop. Comm agreed, but develop it correctly.
