Widmar asked Mr. Weissinger if there was any legal relevance to the appeal. Mr. Weissinger statedthat he would not make a ruling as to whether the litigation was relevant. He explained that the P&Zwould have to determine if the petitioner [Glen Lakes Partnership] demonstrated the ability to use GlenLakes Boulevard based the sworn testimony presented by the petitioner and public speakers at thishearing.Mr. Weissinger explained that it may be a long time before the pending litigation was resolved, as the casewas still in Hernando County, not at the Appellate court, and the County and that petitioner [Mr. Ceraolo]had not agreed on which court or judges would hear the matter. He explained that the Board of CountyCommissioners did not make a finding as to whether Mr. Ceraolo had a right to use Glen Lakes Boulevard,but their resolution in that petition was that Mr. Ceraolo did not demonstrate the ability to use theboulevard.In response to Comm. Widmar’s questions, Mr. Pianta clarified the requirements in condition #9 were asto ensure there was adequate internal access between Phase 1 and Phase 2 for better circulation, not forthe petitioner to provide future access to Outer Banks Drive.
