Commissioner Reivesjoined the meeting at this time. The Board considered zoning options for lot sizes. Planner Althea Thompson told the Board that Planning staff had evaluated the existing zoning and subdivision standards for Lee County. After comparing the standards with those of similar counties, Planning staff determined that the existing regulation regarding the minimum lot size on easements is unusually restrictive. Planning staff determined that the current minimum lot size of three (3) acres on an easement has caused undue hardship in several situations. Mrs. Thompson stated that staff feels that having more than three (3) lots served by an easement should require a private road, which would insure that all lots have documented legal right-of-way and provide adequate access for residents and emergency vehicles. She told the Board that staff recommended no change at this time to the current regulations, until a draft of the Unified Development Ordinance can be reviewed, with proposed changes concerning these issues. The steering committee is expecting to have a draft of the Ordinance ready for consideration some time in November. After some discussion, Commissioner Gamer moved to table the matter until a draft could be presented from the Unified Development Committee in November.
