Mr. Andrejkovics asked for a response to the citizen questions.

He added that proper permitting would be obtained to address the gopher tortoises on the property. Mr. Posey stated the development is required to connect to City water and waste water services and would pay their fair share for the connection and use; if the facilities are at capacity there would be concurrency requirements that would have to be met or the development could not be constructed.

Mr. Bauknecht stated the intent was to be nature friendly. Mr. Posey added that a traffic impact analysis will be completed and reviewed by the City and changes to the roads and/or entrances will be made if required based on the study. Mr. Joyce spoke about the development schedule; holding the developer to the regulations and flooding.

Mr. Lear stressed that State law prohibits the discharge of any additional water from the property after development. Chairman Kennedy stated there are several more meetings and steps the developer must adhere to prior to receiving development approval.
