<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Higgs, <br /> 45 Wax Myrtle Way, reminded everyone that the newly elected <br />Commissioners were elected overwhelmingly. They all ran on the platform to do something about <br />rampant growth. The people have spoken on how they feel and it seemed to him that rezoning is a <br />closed issue. He felt Commissioner Wheeler’s ideas were excellent and he urged the Board to take <br />time to look at the overall situation and not go forward by approving this rezoning. <br /> <br /> George Christopher, <br /> 945 Painted Bunting Lane, President of Indian River <br />Neighborhood Association, urged the Board to delay action on this project. He congratulated the <br />newly elected Commissioners on the positions they took during their campaign. He felt the Board <br />rd <br />needed the answer as to how concurrency will be met if 43 Avenue remains 2 lanes; where will <br />the traffic be directed and how will it impact the other streets. He urged the Board to delay any <br />action until they had the answers to these questions and the visioning process is completed. <br /> <br /> Joseph Paladin <br />, President of Atlantic Coast Construction, 730 East <br />Commerce Park in Sebastian, was in favor of controlling any growth even though he is a <br />developer. The best way to do that, in his opinion, is to consistently vote on good projects within <br />the urban service area. He felt a low-density project as this is good to go against the urban service <br />line and he was in favor of approval. We are scaring everybody into believing that they are not <br />going to get the zoning when it comes time and we are creating a lot of the urgency. He asked that <br />we not create a need that we don’t really have. <br /> <br /> Ken Kennedy, <br /> 1631 West Camino Del Rio, said the Comp Plan was <br />developed many years ago and we have lived by that plan. He does not feel the urban service line <br />should be moved. As a landowner he felt that he should be allowed to develop his property within <br />the Comp Plan land use we have. There are many safeguards in place in this county to allow good <br />growth to continue. He felt a knee-jerk reaction to start denying rezoning that fits the Comp Plan is <br />totally irrational. <br />NOVEMBER 16, 2004 17 <br /> <br />
