following individuals addressed the Board regarding these
items: George Kundtz of the Florida Keys Citizens
Coalition, attorney Fred Tittle, and attorney Jim Mattson.

the proposed Ordinances, motion was made by Commissioner
Stormont to refer Amendment PD 45 to Staff for consideration
of a possible amendment to the sentence beginning with "It"
in order to clarify the same. During discussion, the motion
was withdrawn. At this point, County Attorney Randy Ludacer
advised the Board that, in his opinion, the Board had
already adopted Ordinances concerning the Amendments during
the Public Hearings that had already taken place. He also

those previous actions for the purpose of correcting
typographical and drafting areas and, further, that the
Board could determine the means of the transmission of these
actions to DCA. Motion was made by Commissioner Lytton and
seconded by Commissioner Harvey to amend PD 45 to replace
the word "It" with the words "If not in conformance, the
Planning Commission". Motion carried unanimously. Motion
