REVER FELT THAT THE NEW LAND USE PLAN WILL PROPOSE A CAP OF SIX UNITS PER ACRE FOR ANYTHING NORTH OF THE INDIAN RIVER SHORES TOWN LINE TO THE COUNTY BOUNDARY. HE CONTINUED THAT IT WAS PROPOSED BY THE FORMER BOARD THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT COME UP WITH AN INTERIM PLAN THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE MULTI -FAMILY DWELLINGS AT SIX UNITS PER ACRE, AND DEVELOPERS HAVE INDICATED THEY COULD LIVE WITH THIS.

REVER FELT THEY HAVE ENOUGH DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THIS. 58 DEC 31980 BOOK 45 -PAG -..390 PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS A WHOLE PROGRAM WHICH HE WOULD LIKE TO AIR.
