e . Land Allocation on
the future land use map

Each issue is confronted in
the report and detailed as to
why it is a concern facing the
county.

It is Levy County’s
contention that while DCA
believes too much property
has been allocated for
commercial usage, the county
can accommodate the growth
and allow for up to six more
commercial nodes.

A summary of proposed
changes includes:

° Transportation—
Coordination with the FDOT
related to extension of the
Suncoast Parkway

e Water Quality—
Consider policies for springs
protection and consider
specific standards for aquifer
recharge areas ;

° Wildlands urban
interface—adopt map or
policies identifying areas
of elevated wildfire risk;
adopt standards for new

‘development in high fire
risk areas; consider. adopting
firewise building code
requirements; adopt policy
promoting native vegetation
and defensible space in high
risk areas

e ..Infrastructure—
‘consider a development
threshold for the provision
of facilities and services
by the developer; consider

a policy supporting the
identification of future
solid waste management;

consider a policy supporting
the identification of future
solid waste management
satellite transfer station sites;
consider a policy supporting
best management practices
for managing equine waste;
water—consider policy to
investigate the use of cluster
decentralized sewer systems;

coordinatewithmunicipalities .

on the provision of services in
Municipal Service Districts
(MSD); consider expanding
areas or condition by which
private facilities may be
allowed; consider requiring
water and wastewater services
in LDR designation to obtain

e Future land
use—MSD—address
minimum criteria for
expansion; coordinate with
municipalities on periodic
assessments of MSD
boundaries; Commercial
nodes—establish various
levels of nodes in rural
areas and establish criteria
for each level;  review/
establish’ boundaries for
the unincorporated. locally
recognized communities;
Protect rural character—
‘establish standards’ for land
use amendment application
to the one unit per three acre
category; preserve openspace;

use designations; clarify the
types of uses that may be
allowed by special exception;

5 The yard sale

BY JOHN ESTEVES

I still don’t know why I
. CORRESPONDENT needed to buy it now. By it
I went to Zeke and Betty’s now... in my mind, these

yard sale just the other

day. Their trailer and yard
was full of useful stuff and
worthless junk all displayed
in the same way. Out on

the road, florescent pink
signs handwritten stuck on

words repeated. A glow

came to my face. Was it an
uncontrollable compulsion or
just the thrill of the chase? I
held my hands, this object of
my desire, my spare change
in my pocket about to catch

a stick had drawn me like on fire. I had never seen
a moth goes to a flame. I - _ one finer, hardly used, fully
had to get there quick to functional and of course

see what I could find. I

had visions of all sorts of
things racing through my
mind. I rummaged through
the offerings, checking for
broken parts, chips and
working order. All their
stock marked with small red
tags bargain priced, many

marked made in China. It
was a bright green flyswatter
made in the shape and image
of a pickle and after a half
hour of haggling it was all
mine and it cost me only a
nickel.

Talking John Esteves
resides in Inglis where he
items less than a quarter. is an avid Native American
I finally found something. _— folklorist.
