<br /> <br />Gina Melton <br />, 1906 71st Avenue, Vero Beach, lives in Little Portion Subdivision adjoining <br />Ms. Melton <br />this new property and had several concerns. felt the u-turn across three lanes of traffic <br />on SR 60 to access this property would not be safe. Also, their current driveway would not hold <br />10-ton trucks. She asked if her subdivision would be used as a thoroughfare for their big trucks. <br />She had newspaper articles showing vacant multi-family units that already exist and wondered if <br />Ms. Melton <br />more of these were needed. She pointed out PZC declined this project. did not want <br />multi-family units built on the site. <br /> <br />Joseph Paladin, <br /> Chairman of the Growth Awareness Committee, spoke in favor of this <br />project; the creativity of the development was a plus in his eyes, and he likes Planned <br />Developments and promotes them. <br /> <br />Dr. David Cox <br />, 9495 Periwinkle Drive, Vero Beach, also a member of the Growth <br />Awareness Committee, acknowledged the project shows great creativity and meets all of the <br />guidelines. Dr. Cox believed the Department of Transportation (DOT) would handle the matter of <br />traffic safety. He hoped the Commission would support this development. <br /> <br />th <br />Bea Gardner <br />, 4480 25 Lane, Vero Beach, agreed with most of what was said and <br />acknowledged there were many pluses to this development. She felt the creativity was there, but <br />Ms. Gardner <br />she wanted density vs. safety thought about. noted the ingress and egress from SR <br />60 was unsafe and wanted the Board to take a hard look at passing this without the <br />interconnectivity. <br /> <br />Major Surles, Little Portion Subdivision, was concerned about safety and questioned <br />whether the small, existing bridge would serve the development. He was also concerned about <br />people making a u-turn to get into that development with trucks coming down SR 60 at 70 miles <br />per hour. <br />May 23, 2006 <br />17 <br /> <br />
