MATERIAL DELETED FROM FIRST VERSION
From paragraph 2:
b. Monroe County, Florida, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, by
and through the MolVoe County Board of County Commissioners (hereinafter
"BOCC') on those map amendment requests initia~:d by the BOCC, or bf a single
Commissioner on the authority of a resolution of the DOce. as the correction of er-
rOlS pursuant to qaapaer 13-101 (E) of the Land Development Re~lations which
woul<2 have been demed by the rules proposed in the J:>ecember II, 1987 Florida
Administrative Week.
REASON: DCA would prefer to &egotiate with the COURty OR Its text and m.p
amendMents, since Its map amendments are q.lte distinguishable from those or Individual
property owners.
The following 3 questions:
QUESTIONS:
1. What happens to map amendment applicants who moved to intervene in the role
c"alle~e? The County challen,ed the rule based on gJJ map amendment rejections, presume
ably ,ivuag those applicants who didn't meet the January 8th deadline a chance to present their
case as intervenors in the Countys rule challenge? Intervention petitions are due by close of
business February 3, 1988, at DOAH. DOAR really controls this one.
2. Are petitioners in the 120.54 (4) rule challenge, whose petitions were orfginaJly re-
jected by DOAH, entitled br law to amend their rejected petitions? If so, when will DOAH de.
cide on tlze amended petittofU? Presumably those petitioners would become "ptuties" to the
rule challe",e, but they would not have s~ this seulemenl cveement mtd the 120.54 (4)
proceeding would be revived. DCA and tfle other parties need to get DOAH to act 011 such
amended petitiofU ASAP, and brln, those petitioners into the draw-out proceeding. DOAH
controls this OM also.
3. Are petitioners for draw-out hearilftp, whose petitiollS jailed to meet the !la/UlO" re-
quirements and have been, or wlll be, rejected, en/itled by law /0 amend their rejected petitions?
This would not S<<m to alf<</IM Sdlemen/ ..ment, since it would not breathe new life Into
the 120.54 (4) proceed""-. DCA IhouId, howwer, enunciate its policy on these ame"d~ peti-
tions /or the be1WJit 01 an COItCmtM. DCA It .Howl_. all ..endment. nlecl by 1/1S/a to
- considered, Hd Is ~t'" sallate nUD,I.
From paragraph 3:
five (5) working days in Key West, Florida (too fast)
from day to day. to the maximum extent practicable (unnecessary, DCA says)
These negotiations shall be governed by the foUowing additional conditions.

a. At the initial meetina of the parties/ the DCA representatives shall explain
to the County reprcsemativet the DCA's rataonale for rejecting each proposed text
amc......t. and sW immediately state whether the proposed amendment could
1M uaeade4 sueh that DCA would asree in writing to accept it in amended form,
ancllhal state the Datur. of such amendment(s). (BCAproposes to work these de.

Proposed additional tenn: DCA shal~ no later than 60 days after the dismissal of the
above-styled rule challenge proceedi/1& deliver to the Monroe County Attorney, Planning Di-
rector, and Board of County Commissioners, an analysis of the statutory tlItd regulatory basis
under which DCA will conduct its review of the second six-month amendments, and future an-
nual amendments, to the Monroe County Comprehensive Plan, Regulations, and Land Use
District Maps. This Q/lQlysis is in the nature of a declaratory statement as provided for in Ch.
28-4, F.A.. C., and shaD include standards of review and the weight to be given to tire record and
the decision of the BOCC
DCA is likely to provide this anyway, or the Count)' call petition tor a declaratory
Itatement.
From Paragraph S:
a. Such amendments will be reviewed tboroupJy by the senior plaMina stafr
of tM DCA, ~ ~l with e4\Kational baeqrouBds and professional exp-eri-
enee in pJaRBt'" for eeoSOlllic impact on property owners in Monroe County, Mon-
