REPORT OF TUSCAWILLA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIAITON MEETING - April 6
Attended by Ruth Smith, Dr. Alan Fickett, and Jon Hall from
the Board. A short presentation on the creation of the
Board and its purpose and plans.
Several question were raised regarding the present
"shopping center" conflict, and whether the Board would
be taking a stand in the matter. Both Dr. Fickett and
Ruth Smith stated adamantly that it is not this Board's
function to take issue with these current matters, but to
provide input in an advisory capacity regarding future
land use. There seemed to be a confusion on the homeowners'
parts that this Board could make decisions now being made
by the City Commissioners and the Planning and Zoning
Board.
There was also a request from Mr. Khemlani,
President, that the meeting time be changed

instead of a referendum to increase the sales tax.
5. Supports the HBA challenge to the present concurrency
requirements of the Growth Management Plan on the
following basis:
e
1. The concurrency issue would be
challenged at some point anyway,
and the years of court time would
delay implementation of already

Legislature to address the lack
of funding for the Growth Management
Plan.
