B. Land Development Code
Chairman Fulton stated that the board currently had in front of them the changes that were made at
the workshop meeting in July 2002. Chairman Fulton made sure that all the changes that were
discussed during the workshop were shown in the copies of the LDC that the board members had.
She further stated that this is a time sensitive matter that had to be voted on tonight.
Henry Madsen mentioned that there are still areas in the LDC that do not match what is in the green
handout to the property owners. He mentioned that DBH should be omitted and that "all reference to
new plant material should be eighteen inches above ground level" be put in its place. Secondly, he
mentioned that in the code it states that citrus trees are to be four feet high when it should be six feet
high.
Chairman Fulton stated that these are only "recommendations". These changes still need to go
before Planning and Zoning and after that to the City Council where any recommendations can be
knocked down.
After further discussion it was decided among the board to pass the LDC as it currently stands with
the changes from the July 2002 workshop. Any further recommendations will be brought before the
Planning & Zoning board in memo form.
