The City Manager explained that this is another Future Land Use Map Amendment for Cross Creek Lake Estates. This property is 19.5 acres which is vacant and it's compatible with the Cross Creek Lake Estates development. In November the Local Planning Agency held a hearing and recommended that City Council adopt this FLUM amendment. Colleen Sherry, Cross Creek Lake Estates, respectfully asked if Council would refrain from changing the zoning from Rural to Residential at this time. She would like to see Regular City Council Meeting December 15, 2021 Page 9 the developer develop the existing property properly before he is allowed to proceed further with the other 19 acres. Dr. Jeff Carrier, 461 Lanfair, said even though he would rather not have this area developed he understands that it is inevitable and is glad that it is proposed for development under low density. He said this proposed development could be a model for the City. It's consistent with the Sustainable Sebastian Plan which Council approved this summer. While reviewing the documents that were submitted by the developer he noted some potential problems. One being something the developer mention which is the inadequate access both ingress and egress particularly for an emergency. The streets in the development are very small most of them are single lane -one way which means access is terribly limited. Dr. Carrier understands that plats have not been reviewed and it is premature for concerns but thought if Council is made aware of potential problems ahead there would be an opportunity then for staff to work with the developer and all parties could be satisfied. The Mayor closed the public hearing at 6:42 pm. The Mayor expressed that the issue being brought before Council tonight is the property in the future being low density. This is not the right time to have a discussion regarding the developer and their homeowner association. Council Member Dodd reiterated that this is about zoning. He does have concerns about the comments from the public tonight but all that Council is approving in this particular item is that this property is going to be low density residential. Council is not approving plats or exits and entrances as part of this item. Council Member McPartlan said he doesn't feel comfortable going forward with the approval of this Ordinance unless the questions and concerns from the residents have been answered. Attorney Warren Dill said at the Planning & Zoning meeting there were similar comments He said he is concerned with their comments and is planning to work with staff and possibly City Council at a meeting to address the concerns. Tonight that is not what is before City Council; this is strictly an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.

Council Member Nunn Council Member Nunn informed the City Manager that he has been having discussions with our Police Officers and one of the big concerns is with the application process. He said it is an 86 page paper application that has to be completed by hand. He asked the City Manager if there is a digital process available through one of our software programs to assist with the process.
