of the adjacent flooding issues. 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

stormwater; flooding and utilities. He reiterated that the development cannot contribute to the

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. Posey reiterated that the developer cannot move water from the site to any other

that he understands the concerns of the residents and they will follow the regulations in place.
Mr. Lear stressed that State law prohibits the discharge of any additional water from the property
