PUBLIC HEARING Mr. Holland opened the floor to public comment at 5:54 p.m. He explained that additional comment would be allowed during the Commission meeting assuming it is approved for transmittal.

The following individuals addressed the board regarding the possible impact of a development on the area include the amount of traffic, routing of traffic and impact on wildlife , agricultural uses and the Wekiva Protection area: 1) Lee Owen; 2) Fred Zesewitz; 3) Kathy Gonzalez; 4) Amber Hardy; 5) Rick Gonzalez; and 6) Strobie Laroe. It was explained for the public that there was not a specific development proposal before them just the annexation and land use designation. Greg Beleveaux, representing the property owners, clarified that the Lake County Planning staff recommended approval of up to four units per acre and stated the area is a transitional area. He noted that it previously received both County and State approval but was later withdrawn due to an issue with access. He stated it is not an agrarian area but a transitional area to suburban. He commented on the Level of Service designation for Estes Road and stated that estimates show it would still have 53% capacity left after their project. He noted that a traffic signal is already under construction for Estes and 44. He cited additional conditions that will be required on any developer including cross connection access which will eventually provide access from Estes Road to 44. 5.
