9.B.2. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - ROSELAND NEIGHBORHOOD <br />PLAN AND ROSELAND CORRIDOR PLAN - ROSELAND <br />NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN TASK FORCE <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating stated that staff has had 13 meetings with <br />the Task Force over the past 2 years and noted that the City of Sebastian also made a presentation <br />to the Task Force. He reviewed the Plans with the aid of a PowerPoint presentation (COPY ON <br />FILE WITH THE BACKUP FOR TODAY'S MEETING). In addition to asking the Board to <br />approve the Plans, there is also the matter of acquiring the Denton property relative to drainage <br />improvements in that area. Public Works Director Jim Davis is working with Mr. Denton relative <br />to this purchase. Staff would also support rezoning the balance of Mr. Denton's property to PRO. <br />There is a commercial/medical node adjacent to Mr. Denton's property. <br />Commissioner Ginn commented that she was opposed to the density which could be as high <br />as 6 units per acre. <br />Chairman Macht stated this is not a public hearing but anyone from the public may address <br />the subject. <br />Constance Spates, of Roseland and Fellsmere, objected to the members of the Task Force <br />reporting code violations and stated that the plan calls for portable trailer type signs to be prohibited <br />in spite of the fact that the Friends of Historic Roseland use such a sign for announcements of their <br />meetings. She was opposed to adoption of the Plans. <br />Bob Denton, 11245 Roseland Road, thanked the Task Force and County staff for putting <br />together such a good package. He felt that a cap in the north County medical and commercial node <br />was not a good idea. He believed that flexible plans and procedures are good for everyone but <br />especially for future generations. He questioned what would happen if other communities wanted <br />to establish the same boundaries as Roseland and felt it could result in a "big mess". He saw no need <br />for boundaries and felt each complaint should be looked at individually. He also expressed concern <br />about the City of Sebastian possibly annexing properties from Roseland which would mean <br />municipal as well as County taxes and could trigger private property rights issues. He asked the <br />Board to approve the Plans with the proviso that no caps be included. <br />MAY 20, 2003 13 <br />
