At the March 22 [2005] County Commission meeting, the Commissioners voted unanimously to delete the PSJ Community Overlay at the next Comprehensive Plan Amendment Cycle (2005B in June of this year).

The Community Overlay was created by pro-incorporation people within the PSJHOA (who later formed PSJ4T), in 1998 and made "official" by the County in 1999 when they added it to their Future Land Use Element (FLUE) Map; even though the Florida State Statute that made Community Overlays part of the way Florida does planning was rescinded in 1985 (according to the Brevard County Law Library).

Without any input from the residents of Frontenac, Delespine, Williams Point and Hardeeville, the PSJ Community Overlay encompassed those areas and was the basis for the next step in the incorporation effort; a study covering the whole Community Overlay area as a possible future PSJ City.

At the Commission meeting, I requested the removal of the PSJ Community Overlay, [and] one of those involved in its creation spoke in support of the removal, saying the Community Overlay was just a "feel good measure." It didn't feel good to the Four Communities, especially without having had any say in the matter.

As of the last working day in June, when 2005B takes place, the PSJ Community Overlay will be gone.
