44. Agency Comments
FFWCC
“Working with FWC staff, the applicant developed a land use plan that incorporates measures to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to regionally significant wildlife species and associated habitat….We conclude that the current DRI will not pose a significant impact to regionally significant wildlife species or habitat onsite or offsite.
With the majority of the state’s fish and wildlife habitat in private ownership, the FWC recognizes the critical role that private landowners play in conserving the state’s natural resources”.

45. Agency Comments
FFWCC
“Our staff would like to express our appreciation for your efforts to accommodate our mission of ensuring the long term sustainability of fish and wildlife resources for their benefit and the benefit of people. In particular we are very supportive of your efforts to address this activity through amendments to the City’s comprehensive plan and land development code.”
“It’s the opinion of our subject matter experts that this language is a very accurate reflection of those discussions and is much appreciated in that it would support many species beyond just the black bear.”

46. Agency Comments Flagler County Public Schools:
“The draft agreement includes mitigation to address the capital impacts of 4,000 non-age restricted residential units with a total proportionate share mitigation amount of $25,155,556. The draft mitigation plan includes the following: donation of a school site, payment of school impact fees, payment of property taxes to support capital improvements, and payment of impact fee surcharge”.

47. Support St. Johns County
“Due to interagency cooperation over the past year and its proximal location to St. Johns County, the City of Palm Coast is and will continue to be an integral part of the County’s planning strategies, from linking planned greenway corridors to concurrent development reviews”.

48. Support Flagler County
“Flagler County staff has been in attendance at numerous meetings where the Northwest Corridor Overlay Area corridor concept has been discussed. We support forward thinking, progressive land planning and believe natural resource should be considered throughout the development process. We appreciate the City’s efforts to keep Flagler County in the loop”.

49. Excerpt from NEFRC Letter
“By consent at its August 5, 2010 Board meeting, the Northeast Florida Regional Council commended the City of Palm Coast and its staff for the tireless efforts in developing the North Corridor Overlay Area (NCOA). … The Council recognizes the countless number of hours that Palm Coast staff dedicated to the development of the plan. … by requiring DRI review, coupled with the planning and environmental principles established in the NCOA, the City provides a level of protection for development in this area of the region”.

50. PLDRB Recommendation
On August 12, 2010, PLDRB unanimously recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment
PLDRB also recommended approval with only minor changes to the Development Order:
Clarify commencement date for starting construction
Clarify that estimates for transportation construction are based on 2010 dollars
Delete condition regarding demonstration sites for waterwise landscaping principles, since all development will be required to meet waterwise principles

51. RECOMMENDATION
Staff Recommends that the City Council find the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommend that the City Council approve the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Adoption Hearing on September 7, 2010).
Staff Recommends that the City Council discuss, take public comment, and continue the item to September 7, 2010 for action.
