<br /> <br />nd <br />Tony Basso <br /> , 4352 2 Square SW, spoke in opposition to the project. <br /> <br />Jerry Swanson <br /> , 1048 E. Polo Grounds Drive, reminded the public that this project has been <br />in the works for a number of years. It has been noticed in the newspapers and there is no reason for <br />anyone to complain that they were not notified. He felt the Board is very fortunate to have the <br />quality staff they do have and they should listen to staff’s recommendations. He was in favor of the <br />project. <br /> <br />th <br />Mindy Stone <br /> , 1956 19 Avenue, stated that she had moved to Vero in 1979 from Boca <br />Raton, and stressed that she did not believe the current infrastructure will support the proposed <br />development in this area. She expressed her concern about the loss of the citrus industry locally and <br />stated that some of the people she had spoken with about the project had stated that they were <br />“strong-armed” into signing agreements for rights-of-way and told that they would be responsible <br />for paying for any sidewalks. She encouraged the consideration of a mass transit system for the <br />County. <br /> Public Works Director Jim Davis emphasized that new developers pay for sidewalks for <br />commercial or multi-family development. <br /> <br />th <br />Peter Van Rens <br /> , 365 38 Square, was opposed to the project but asked that, should the <br />project be approved, the public be involved in planning the landscaping. <br /> <br />th <br />Craig Callan <br /> , 1575 46 Avenue, waived his right to speak. <br /> <br />th <br />Craig Lombard <br /> , 4280 13 Street, stated that the additional noise and safety factors were <br />his main concerns and asked the Board to reject the project. <br /> <br />MAY 17, 2004 <br />8 <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETING <br /> <br />
