PUBLIC HEARING - LPA 03-14, LARGE SCALE AMENDMENT FOR TRANSMITTAL TO STATE Mr. Stanford read the advertised legal notice for public hearing to consider a request submitted by T-A-R, LLC to change the use of land for 211.05 acres located off Point Center Road in Crestview. The request is to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation from Rural Residential (RR) to Low Density Residential (LDR) or a more restrictive FLUM designation. Mr. Elliot Kampert, Growth Management Director, reiterated this is a large scale amendment to be transmitted to the state agency July 1, 2014 -8- Minute Book 71, Page 121 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners for review. He quickly reviewed the staff findings, advising this is a Type 1 plan amendment because it involves ten acres or more. The current allowable density under RR would allow up to 388 single-family dwellings. The proposed LDR designation would allow up to 777 single-family dwelling units on the site. He pointed out there are no other properties designated as LDR on the FLUM proximate to the amendment site but the proposed density is consistent with the character of development established by the outward growth of the City of Crestview. Mr. Kampert pointed out the site is within the Eglin North Encroachment Zone and will require review and comment by the county’s military representative. Finally, he stated the applicant provided a letter, dated January 23, 2014, from a local realtor indicating a need for building lots in the .25 to .35-acre lot size south of I-10. Mr. Kampert said the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval at a public hearing on June 12, 2014 and noted the military representative made no comment. Staff has no objection to the proposed amendment provided the traffic concurrency and access issues are addressed during development. Mr. Tom Young, applicant, said he believes the county would benefit from this change in land use. Mr. Parisot stated the agenda request says the military representative had no comment and asked for more details. Mr. Kampert answered the military representative received a packet and he did not provide any comment. Mr. Parisot confirmed the military representative did have an opportunity to make comment but did not. Upon inquiry by Mr. Harris, Mr. Young stated D.R. Horton has looked at the property and expressed interest in building houses. Mr. Boyles made motion, seconded by Mr. Amunds, to transmit this large scale amendment request to the proper state agency for review. 5 yeas. PUBLIC HEARING - REQUEST TO VACATE PORTION OF RAILROAD STREET IN OAKDALE MINIATURE FARMS Mr. Stanford read the advertised legal notice for public hearing to consider the request of Richard Peterman, representing Gary McMorrow, to vacate a portion of the unimproved right-of-way of July 1, 2014 -9- Minute Book 71, Page 122 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners Railroad Street lying west of Lot 2 Block 9 in Oakdale Miniature Farms.

TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - REQUEST TO TRANSFER FUNDS FOR PAYMENT OF BEACH CLEANING EQUIPMENT Mr. Schroeder stated he needs to move some funds--$150,000 to $160,000--from reserves into an account to allow payment for the additional beach cleaning equipment. He pointed out’ the equipment will be purchased off state contract. July 1, 2014 -11- Minute Book 71, Page 124 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners Mr. Harris posed questions on the prior discussion on beach cleaning equipment. Mrs. Fedorak stated the Public Works Department will use the equipment and the TDC will provide the funding for purchase of the equipment. She said originally the discussion wag for Public Works to wurchase the rakes and tractor and then have TDC reimbursement the department. However, Public Works does mot have the Funds to make the purchase and the discussion turned to TDC moving funds from its YeServes account to make the purchase. Mr. Amunds asked if there is amy urgency to take action at this meeting, moting there are mo supporting documents to review. Mr. Hofstad stated here is their thinking, if arrangements can be made for the purchases, the demo unit is still here and could be purchased. Further, the tractor to be bought is in Jay and eould be delivered the next day. He said that means they could return the rental equipment early, getting some credit and saving money. Mr. Pariset opined the simplest way to do this is by budget transfer from the TDC to the aprropriate department in Public Works. Mr. Heofstad agreed, saying there are no reserve funds in the County Parks budget and it is not a qualifying expense for the reserves in the Unincorporated County Parks MSTU fund. He added they are not trying “to step on Finance.” Mr. Amunds agked for Mr. Stanford’s input. Mr. Stanford replied that he is not aware of the conversations which have taken place. He stated the Clerk’s Office can prepare a budget transfer document and place it on the next agenda. Mr. Shewart noted that in terms of Isgality, beach cleaning and beach cleaning equipment can be funded by tourist tax dollars. Mr. Windes commented we cannot backuo mow and he belisves it is the thing to do. Mr. Parisot said he believes the equipment gtould be owned by the Public Works Department because in is that staff which will be using and maintaining it. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Harris, to approve a budget transfer from the TOC to the appropriate Public Works accounk to pay for the beach cleaning equipment. Mr, Boyles stated his comments have nothing to do with Mr. Schroeder but the Tourist Development Department is still under probation and he will not suppert this action without anything July 1, 2014 -12- Mimute Book 71, Page 125 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners in writing. He reiterated there is nothing in today’s meeting agenda packet on this item. Mr. Padgett said the county employees have done a yeoman’s job and he thinks they have explained this issue thoroughly. He said he understands the importance on the one hand of being cautious but also understands being flexible. Mr. Amunds asked if this will come back on the next agenda if approved tonight. Mr. Hofstad responded that the Board has already authorized the purchase of the equipment and they are asking to set up a capital equipment purchasing account. Mr. Amunds asked for clarification if this request is only to open a Capital equipment account. Mr. Boyles commented that is the first time anyone has said anything about opening an account. He stated he does not know what we are voting on. In response to an earlier question, Mr. Hofstad stated the budget transfer must come back to the Board. Mr. Amunds again asked if this is for authorization to set up a separate account. Mr. Stanford said perhaps he is confused. He pointed out the Board has already approved the purchase of the equipment on the Consent Agenda. Mr. Parisot restated his motion: to set up a capital equipment account and bring the budget transfer back at the next meeting. Mr. Boyles questioned setting up an account with no money in it and then returning at the next meeting to approve putting money in it. He asked what he is missing. Mr. Hofstad stated they need Board approval and they need an account from which to make the purchases. Mr. Boyles stressed this should have been placed on the agenda, noting a request was made to purchase the equipment but no funding source identified. Mr. Hofstad said he does not disagree but only realized during the meeting they had no funding. Again, Mr. Parisot stated his motion is to authorize setting up a capital equipment account to purchase beach cleaning equipment. 4 yeas, 1 nay (Mr. Boyles voted no).
