ANSIN NOTED THAT THE PROPOSAL NOW BEFORE THE BOARD IS <br />FOR REZONING; THE BOARD IS NOT BEING ASKED TO DEFER ON ZONING BUT TO <br />ELIMINATE SOME THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR TWENTY ODD YEARS. HE FELT WE <br />MUST ADDRESS THE REZONING. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT IF THE BOARD TOOK NO ACTION, <br />THE ZONING WOULD REMAIN C-1 AND R-1. <br />MR. ANSIN STATED THAT THEY HAVE SOME 240 ACRES ZONED C-1, AND <br />THEY.ARE WILLING TO FOREGO ICO ACRES OF THIS. HE FELT THE PROPOSED <br />PLAN TO HAVE A BLOCK OF EIGHTY ACRES COMMERCIAL WITH SUPPORTING MULTI- <br />FAMILY IS MORE APPROPRIATE, <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE APPRECIATES MR. ANSIN'S POSITION, <br />BUT DISAGREES WITH THE FACT THAT MR. ANSIN WOULD BE THE OWNER -OF ALL THE <br />COMMERCIAL THERE. HE CONTINUED THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE AREA MOST <br />SUITABLE FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT REGARDLESS OF WHO OWNS THE LAND. HE <br />AGREED THAT THE BOARD NEEDS TO MAKE A DECISION BECAUSE THE PRIMARY <br />REASON WE ARE DOING THIS IS SPECIFICALLY TO ELIMINATE MILE UPON MILE OF <br />COMMERCIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF SIO AND 512. <br />MRS. MCCAIN ASKED IF THE CHAIRMAN PUT THE B-1 AND THE COMMERCIAL <br />IN THE SAME CATEGORY, AND CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT BASICALLY B-1 IS <br />A RESTRICTED TYPE OF BUSINESS CATEGORY WITH A 75` SETBACK. C-1 IS <br />COMMERCIAL AND LESS RESTRICTIVE. <br />MRS, MCCAIN STATED THAT SHE CANT SEE ANY REASON FOR INCREASING <br />THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN THE RESIDENTIAL PRESENTLY THERE IS NOT DEVELOPED. <br />SHE SUGGESTED IF COMMERCIAL IS NOT DESIRABLE, WHY NOT PUT A BUSINESS <br />AREA (B-1) NEAR THE INTERSECTION. <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT THE COMMERCIAL AREA PRESENTLY <br />THERE HASNIT DEVELOPED EITHER, AND THE BASIS OF HIS OPINION FOR NEEDING <br />TO HAVE THE CHANGE IS BECAUSE IN TODAY�S TIME AND THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT, <br />IT IS NOT DESIRABLE TO HAVE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THE ENTIRE LENGTH <br />FROM FELLSMERE TO SEBASTIAN. HE NOTED THAT THE BOARD MUST MAKE A <br />DECISION AS TO THE AREA WHERE IT IS MOST APPROPRIATE TO SERVE THE PEOPLE, <br />MRS.
