D m CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THIS BOARD MUST MAKE THE DETERMINA- TION AS TO WHERE THE'BEST AREA IS FOR THE COMMERCIAL AND STATED HE DID NOT FEEL IT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF ANYONE TO HAVE MILE AFTER MILE OF STRIP COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT FOR MANY REASONS. HE AGREED THAT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 1-95 AND OCEAN SPRAY THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, BUT DID NOT FEEL IT NEEDS TO EXTEND ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT OR THE FULL LENGTH OF THE ROAD. HE FELT THERE IS ENOUGH COMMERCIAL ON THAT ROAD TO BE EQUIVALENT TO THE COMMERCIAL IN THE WHOLE CITY OF VERO BEACH. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED, THAT BASICALLY. AS IT STANDS NOW, IF ANY OF THOSE OWNERS WISH TO COME .1-N AND PULL A PERMIT AND PUT IN A GAS STATION, THEY CAN DO IT. THE BOARD MUST DECIDE IF THAT IS THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THE AGRICULTURAL PEOPLE REALLY WANT OR WHETHER IT IS PROPER FOR RESIDENTIAL AREAS. THE CHAIRMAN HOPED THAT IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THAT AREA WILL BE USED FOR ANYTHING BUT AGRICULTURE AND FURTHER HOPED THAT BY THE TIME COMMERCIAL IS NEEDED, WE WILL HAVE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT OR A METHOD TO ADDRESS THE NEED PROPERLY. HE SAW NO PROBLEM WITH ALLOWING SOME COMMERCIAL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE INTERSECTION. MR-. REDICK STATED THAT THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE ENTIRE NORTH PART OF SECTION 25 AND 30 AND THE SOUTH OF SECTION 24 BE LEFT ZONED COMMERCIAL AND THAT THE INDUSTRIAL AREA BE LEFT EAST OF I-95. THIS WOULD LEAVE TWO MILES OF COMMERCIAL ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND ONE MILE ON THE NORTH SIDE, PLUS THE M-1 DISTRICT. IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE IS NO COMMERCIAL USE BEING MADE OF THE C -I AT ALL AT PRESENT. C. REED KNIGHT, JR., CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AGAIN AND STATED THAT HE SPOKE EARLIER AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN AND NOW WISHES TO SPEAK AS A PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNER OF LAND IN THE SECOND AREA TO BE CONSIDERED THIS AFTERNOON. HE STATED THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THE BOARD'S POSITION] THAT ORIGINALLY THIS PROPERTY WAS ZONED IN A HAPHAZARD MANNER, AND THIS MUST BE CORRECTED AS THE COUNTY IS GROWING SO FAST. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT HE REALIZES THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND PLAN NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED, BUT STATED THAT HE FEELS THERE HAS BEEN SOME MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE PLAN WHICH WAS PRESENTED ORIGINALLY JUST AS A GUIDE AND NOW WILL BECOME NODI 2 11978 62 potx 37 .
