Highland Lakes Conceptual plan RevIew
Discussion with Messrs. LeBlanc and Kozlov regarding any changes
between the plan review on October 21st and the plan presented
tonight. Basically on changes, developer still wanting to do
this project in phases tor financial reasons and the city's
statement that each phase would have to stand on its own and our
concern that the movement of the gas pipeline and improvement to
Shepherd Road would be completed prior to the development of the
majority of the property.
DeMarco: I would like t.o refer you t.O the last page of mv
presentation. In that I have provided YOU with the financial
projection on this project. The graph shows the amount ot
capital investment for site development on this project if done
in 1 or 3 phases. Most of the infrastructure would be financed
by sales of previous phases. Phase I is a fairly inexpensive and
would get me going on this project. Phase II is rather
expensive, costing me the larger section of capital. due to the
development of the infrastructure and movement of tho gas
pipeline to Shepherd Road. Phase III is the bulK of the lots
which is where I will be getting my return on investment.
therefore, It would not financially prudent for me to abandoned
the project atter Phase II.
McLeod: January 94 IS that the beginning of Phase III? Where is
the beginning of Phase II, between September 93 and October 9~?
DeMarco: Yes. you are correct.

Overview of Draft ,Land Develo..Ement Regulations
Points of concern:
1) Amount of public input in development review process.
Kern: The development review process would remain as it is
now with opportunity for public input before the Planning &
Zoning Board and the City Commission. In addition, the change of
land use classification would continue to have opportunity for
public input as it is now with planning & Zoning and City
Commission. The state agencies are sensitive about proposed land
use amendments and require detailed data and analysis. ensuring a
-global view" of the effects of the proposed changes.
2)
Buffering of
classifications
districts.
incompatible uses under land use
and performance standards versus zoning
Reviewed Table 6.06.024 of the draft code.
Kern: Applications for variances will be greatly reduced as
there would be no need to get variance from setbacks after the
implementation of these buffering requirements.
3) Performance standards allow for a more broad interpretation
