24 Jan 05 Advisory Board update

Restructure Advisory Boards

The consultant hired by the City to oversee the revisions to the City’s land development regulations (Ms. Gail Easley) has reaffirmed her intention to recommend a restructuring of the Planning Advisory Board, the Historic District Council and the Board of Adjustments into a “Planning Commission”.  The details of this recommendation will not be available until February or March.

CFOF is extremely concerned about such a realignment given the critical role each of these advisory boards has in protecting the character of Fernandina Beach.  As soon as the details are announced, CFOF will study them and issue a position.

 

15 Jan 05   Impact Fees

5PM Tuesday October 11th- City Commission

Special Meeting (as of one hour ago-not currently listed on the city agenda site) to discuss the "Vested Rights" procedure and the guidelines that Mr. Mearns is preparing.  The discussion should include the Bert Harris Act guidelines and how it can or cannot be applied by developers.  It may also move into why the city just paid umpteen jillion dollars for Gail Easley to revise our Comp Plan and now 6-8 months later we are  having these huge discrepancies arise. If we're lucky the discussion will also turn to why developers are going into the poorer areas and telling people their houses are going to be condemned if they are not maintained properly in an effort to buy them out and then replace their single family house with a duplex.  The meeting will also discuss restructuring debt for the Marina and golf course improvements, and borrowing $8,980,000.00 at 3.77% to cover the improvements.
