CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE WOULD FIRST LIKE TO DISCUSS THE AREA WHICH IS PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL AND STATED THAT HE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM SEEING THIS EXTENDED EAST OF THE FOUR -LANE HIGHWAY. THE OTHER AREA HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT IS ROSELAND ROAD AND vU.S. 1. HE FELT IF THAT IS GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL, IT SHOULD PRETTY WELL ENCOMPASS THAT AREA, HE STATED THAT HE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM IN THE SOUTHWEST WHERE THERE IS A RAILROAD TRACK ON ONE SIDE, MOBILE HOMES TO THE NORTH, AND A CEMETERY ACROSS U.S. 1 ON THE EAST. THE CHAIRMAN FELT THAT WE CAN GREATLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF COMMERCIAL AREA THAT WE HAVE UP THERE AS OF 1975 AND, IN FACT, REDUCE IT PRACTICALLY IN HALF AND STILL ACCOMMODATE THE AREA HE JUST DESCRIBED. HE NOTED THAT WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING A BUILDING OR ZONING PERMIT FOR TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY, BUT TRYING TO PLAN INTO THE FUTURE AND CONSIDER THE BEST POSSIBLE USE OF THE PLAN. THIS USE CAN CHANGE AND WILL, FROM TIME TO TIME, AND THAT IS WHY THE LAW SAYS WE MUST REVIEW THIS PLAN EVERY YEAR. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE DOES DISAGREE WITH A UNIFORM STRIP OF COMMERCIAL ALL THE WAY ALONG U.S. 1, BUT WITH THE PROBLEMS CREATED BY THE RAILROAD TRACK, U.S. 1 AND THE CEMETERY, HE WAS IN DOUBT THAT THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF LAND COULD BE USED FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A COMMERCIAL USE. COMMISSIONER DEESON STATED THAT HE SHARES SOME OF THE SAME FEELINGS BUT FELT IT IS REGRETFUL THAT THE ZONING ALLOWED A SHOPPING CENTER TO GO IN AT U.S. 1 AND ROSELAND ROAD. HE FELT A MORE PROPER PLACE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE AREA CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN. HE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE REDUCTION OF COMMERCIAL ZONING AROUND ROSELAND ROAD' AND U.S. 1. HOWEVER, HE DID FEEL THE ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL ZONING IN THE AREA ORIGINALLY PLANNED AND APPARENTLY RECOMMENDED BY THE ,PLANNING STAFF TO INCLUDE THE PROPERTIES SOUTH OF SHADY REST WOULD BE IN ORDER. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER MENTIONED THAT THE COMMERCIAL AREA TO THE NORTH IS ACTUALLY TOO LARGE BEFORE IT GOES BACK INTO*THE RESIDENTIAL AREA BY ERCILDOUNE HEIGHTS. HE SAID HE WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF KEEPING THE AREA AS IT IS IN GENERAL BUT SEPARATING.THE DIFFERENT ZONES A LITTLE BIT. HE FURTHER FELT SINCE THE OWNERS OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY 37 m.
