Commissioner Neuberger who asked for clarification of where the driveways will be <br />located headed discussion. He wanted assurance that it will not look like The Palms on Indian <br />River Boulevard. Other questions were asked pertaining to landscaping and traffic impact. <br /> <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard <br />regarding this matter. <br /> <br />Bruce Barkett <br />, 756 Beachland Boulevard, introduced himself as the attorney for <br />the developer and showed a photograph defining the RM-8 zoning area. He reinforced what Mr. <br />Keating said and he felt this place was well suited for this type of zoning. <br /> <br />Brian Heady, <br /> Vero Beach, referred to a comment mentioned earlier about spending <br />County tax dollars. He felt it is not necessary to have a consultant do a study on impact fees only to <br />tell us that it is going to cost us more money. He said the Board has heard from the majority of <br />those they represent asking for controlled growth and week after week there seems to be no <br />change. He told the Board that they facilitate the continued uncontrolled growth in this <br />community, and he said, “Enough is enough.” <br /> <br />thth <br />Robert Johnson, <br /> 535 39 Court SW, felt that 66 Avenue, being located next to a <br />rd <br />mall, should be widened to five lanes instead of 43 Avenue. <br /> <br />th <br />Director Keating said 66 Avenue would function like a five-lane roadway only it <br />will have a center median. The turn lanes will be similar to five-lanes. Essentially there does not <br />th <br />need to be a center 5 lane. <br /> <br />th <br />Traffic Engineer Chris Mora gave a brief explanation on how 66 Avenue will <br />function as a five-lane roadway because it is more rural in nature and traffic travels at a higher <br />speed. <br />APRIL 6, 2004 <br />20 <br /> <br /> <br />
