BELLEAIR – Gail Easley, a planning and growth management specialist, made a presentation at Tuesday’s Town Commission meeting on what the town must do to complete the evaluation and appraisal report of its comprehensive plan.
Easley said the purpose of the EAR audit is to update the comprehensive plan so that it meets the town’s needs. The audit also is required by state law. As part of the evaluation the town notes specific issues where the plan needs to be amended.
Town Manager Steve Cottrell with the advice of the commission, constructed a list of five issues that he would like to be updated and amended in the comprehensive plan.
The first issue identified by the town is historic preservation, which includes potential redevelopment of the Belleview Biltmore properties and associated future land use.
The second issue is the impact of potential redevelopment, including impacts on transportation systems, open space and wastewater treatment.
The third issue is water supply, including potable quantity and quality and alternative water supply sources.
The fourth issue is about infrastructure repair and replacement, including streets, bridges and storm water systems.
The fifth issue was developed at Tuesday’s meeting as being future use of submerged lands. Cottrell recommended that the town look more closely at the waterfront as a future development project waiting to happen because of the recent demand for marinas and more boat space. With a unanimous consensus the commission voted to add the concern as a fifth issue to the comprehensive plan.
The evaluation is expected to be completed by late spring.
