S <br />m <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT MR. KNIGHT SAID HE WAS NOT <br />IN FAVOR OF HAVING LITTLE POCKETS OF COMMERCIAL ALL THE WAY BACK FROM <br />I-95 TO U.S. 1. <br />MR. KNIGHT FELT EVENTUALLY THIS IS ALL GOING TO BECOME <br />COMMERCIAL JUST LIKE PAST 43RD AVENUE OUT TO THE CITY LIMITS. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED HE MIGHT AGREE IF 1-95 HAD AN <br />INTERCHANGE, <br />COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T HAVE AN <br />INTERSECTION AND WE DO NOT SEE ONE IN THE FUTURE, SHE DOES THINK OSLO <br />IS GOING TO BE A MAIN THOROUGHFARE IN THE COUNTY. SHE ASKED WHAT MR.. <br />KNIGHT WOULD THINK OF A B-1 PLANNED BUSINESS DISTRICT, WHICH IS A <br />COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, BUT A LITTLE MORE RESTRICTIVE AND REQUIRES A 75' <br />SETBACK OFF THE MAIN ROAD. SHE FELT THIS ACTUALLY PROMOTES A HIGHER <br />GRADE OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. <br />PSR. KNIGHT STATED THAT HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS, BUT DID <br />KNOW THAT ABOUT THE ONLY THING LEFT IN THE CITY LIMITS FOR INDUSTRIAL <br />IS THE AIRPORT PROPERTY. HE NOTED THAT IF WE ARE TO GROW, WE MUST HAVE <br />INDUSTRIAL AREA. <br />RALPH LINDSEY APPEARED REPRESENTING ROBERT NEWMAN, AND STATED <br />THAT MR, NEWMAN REQUESTS THAT THE BOARD KEEP THIS PROPERTY COMMERCIAL <br />FOR HIS PLANS INTHEFUTURE. THAT AREA NOW IS IN CITRUS, AND MR. NEWMAN <br />HAS PLANS FOR A PACKING HOUSE. <br />DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON WHETHER THIS IS ALLOWED IN AGRICULTURAL <br />ZONING. MR. REDICK FIRST STATED THAT AGRICULTURALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES <br />ARE SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS IN AGRICULTURAL ZONING, BUT THEN NOTED THAT THIS <br />DOES NOT INCLUDE PROCESSING OPERATIONS. <br />ROY HOGAN NEXT APPEARED AND STATED THAT HE AGREED WITH SIR. <br />KNIGHT THAT FROM 1-95 WEST TO THE ST. .JOHNS DRAINAGE DISTRICT, 98TH ST., <br />SHOULD REMAIN COMMERCIAL THE WAY IT IS. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT <br />BELIEVE IN HAVING JUST A LITTLE AREA REMAIN COMMERCIAL BECAUSE THOSE <br />PEOPLE OUT THERE NEED SERVICES AND NOW HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY TO VERO. <br />EVEN NOW SINCE WE HAVE THE OCEAN SPRAY INDUSTRY, THE PRISON AND THE DUMP, <br />THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC'ON THAT ROAD, AND HE FELT IT WILL HAVE TO BE <br />A COMMERCIAL THOROUGHFARE IN THE FUTURE. THEREFORE, HE WOULD LIKE TO <br />SEE IT REMAIN THE WAY IT IS. <br />61 <br />
