of the Florida Administrative Code. Development pennitted under these
conditions shall be required to connect to the central system under a prioritized
mandate, in chronological order of septic tank pennit issuance. If a subdivision
has been developed under such conditions, the priority of the entire subdivision
for purposes of connection to the central system, shall be based on the earliest

consideration to implementing such activity through an interlocal agreement,
which addresses the following planning and development issues:
a.
Review impacts of development within adjacent unincorporated

management issues; affects on annexation issues; amendments to
comprehensive plans and land development regulations; location
and timing of proposed development; and impacts to conservation
activities and preservation of natural resources.
b. Review and compare municipal and Lake County land development
regulations applicable to respective adjacent lands for compatibility
and for conflict with growth management goals, objectives and
policies,
c. Develop mutually agreeable future land use designations for
adjacent unincorporated and incorporated land within any agreed
upon Joint Planning Area.
d. Focus commercial development along state roads to commercial
nodes in the incorporated areas where there are central services,

the City of Minneola, to establish an annexation policy to direct an
orderly and timely process of annexing unincorporated lands

within the confmes of any service area or delineated annexation
zone, with emphasis on compatibility with both the City and
adjacent government Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use

proposed development.
e. Determination of an appropriate concurrency management system
for development impacting the municipalities, the service areas or
delineated annexation zones.

sewer, traffic circulation, drainage, recreation or other necessary
facilities.
g. Availability of public facilities and services to meet demands
currently generated by existing development or that are anticipated
for eligible land use activities pennitted within directives of the
adopted comprehensive plans.
