incorporated into the recommendation in the memorandum. During his presentation Director Boling responded to questions of the Commissioners regarding rights-of-way, utilities, sidewalks, easements, setbacks, and the P & Z’s concerns and their recommendation for limiting the houses to 1-story. The Historic Resources Advisory Committee recommended that there be no 2-story homes along Quay Dock Road. The Chairman opened the public hearing. Jodah D. Bittle , Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard, LLC, on behalf of the developer requested the ability to do some 2-story homes but not on Quay Dock Road. They have already dropped the density by increasing lot sizes. He advised that the 10-foot easement is for cable and electric with grass over it. The 10-foot side setbacks were increased from 7-1/2 foot per the P & Z’s request. They have met with adjacent owners to discuss their concerns and he felt they left the meeting with good feelings. Billie Wagner was concerned about the loss of Winter Beach as a nice old beach community if this development would be enclosed by a wall, and Director Boling advised that there would be no wall but berms with landscaping. st Rev. Ray Scent , 1615 71 Court, was alarmed about outsiders telling us what we should do and would like to remove everything that has happened here since 1940. He expressed concerns about affordable housing and asked the County to pay more attention to homes for the workers. Bob Johnson , Coral Wind Subdivision, asked if it was possible to have Mr. Paladin or staff go through and comment on the effect of all the proposals on this project. Linda Bolton , Indian River Neighborhood Association’s president, supported the Commission for allowing a grass roots committee help them decide how we want to grow. She applauded the Growth Awareness Committee’s work. Mr. Bittle reminded the Commissioners that this project came in under the existing code and that they have made many compromises. March 15, 2005 27
