good idea of the projects and approvals of where or how far these
projects have progressed. Eventually, we will have to look at
developments that are needing to be considered as committed to
currency management systems issues. Mr. Marder stated that we will
have to think about implementing a concurrency system. This
compilation is the first attempt at this.
Mr. Marder stated that the compilation are projects on the drawing
board at this time. The City has approved the development of
regional impact for the Mall, but the City of Lake Mary and the
ECFRPC has appealed our development order. There is some question
as to the validity of approval. The development order will be
considered by the Cabinet and also the courts. The City of Lake
Mary appealed to the state because of affordable housing. The
Regional Planning Council made an appeal which has not been dealt
with yet. The affordable housing issue was resolved and the City
Commission adopted the development order as amended.
Mr. Speer asked if the City has an index or a record of vacancies
of apartment dwelling under $300 a month or houses under $500 a
month. Mr. Marder stated that the census data is fairly up to
date, but that the City did not have any listing.
Mr. Speer moved to approve minutes. Seconded by Mr. Brooks. All
in favor. Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
