DEC 171980 moy 45 PACE 476 ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THERE ARE SEPARATE ISSUES - FIRST, WHETHER THE PLAT MEETS PLANNING REQUIREMENTS AND THEN LATER WHAT CAN BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE LAND AND WHAT MEETS THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS. CHAIRMAN LYONS FELT THE ISSUE IS WHETHER WE WANT TO RULE ON THIS TODAY OR LET THE COLONIAL TERRACE RESIDENTS BE HEARD. MR. ZORC AGAIN POINTED OUT THAT WHATEVER IS PERMITTED TO BE BUILT IS WHAT THEY WILL HAVE TO BUILD. HE EMPHASIZED THAT THEY HAVE COMPLIED WITH ALL REGULATIONS SO FAR. THE BOARD CONTINUED TO DISCUSS THE IMPACT OF THIS SUBDIVISION ON COLONIAL TERRACE SUBDIVISION, AND COMMISSIONER BIRD STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE RESIDENTS OF COLONIAL TERRACE BEFORE TAKING ACTION. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER CONCURRED, NOTING THAT THIS IS THE FIRST CHANCE HE HAS HAD TO LOOK AT THIS, AND HE DID NOT FEEL IT IS REASONABLE TO REACT SO QUICKLY. MR. ZORC REQUESTED THAT MR. FLETCHER CONSIDER THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR MANY MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN THROUGH EVERY APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT AND THE TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE, AND ALL HAVE MADE POSITIVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPROVAL. IN ADDITION, MR. ZORC POINTED OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY WITH THE RESIDENTS OF COLONIAL TERRACE. THE WHOLE PROBLEM CENTERED ON THE ROADS BRINGING TRAFFIC INTO COLONIAL TERRACE, AND THAT IS WHY THEY CONSULTED WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND HAVE LAID THE PLAT OUT AS IT IS NOW PRESENTED. CHAIRMAN LYONS EMPHASIZED THAT HERE IS A DEVELOPER WHO HAS MET ALL OUR REQUIREMENTS; HE IS BRINGING BEFORE US A PRELIMINARY PLAT; HE IS NOT.ASKING FOR ANY CHANGE IN ZONING; HE HAS TRIED TO AVOID CREATING A PROBLEM WITH THE NEIGHBORING SUBDIVISION; AND THE CHAIRMAN COULD NOT SEE WHY WE SHOULD DO ANYTHING BUT APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY PLAT AS PRESENTED. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK AGREED. COMMISSIONER BIRD STATED THAT HIS PROBLEM IS THAT THE DEVELOPER IS PUTTING IN S UNITS PER ACRE WITH ONLY A 15' BUFFER BETWEEN THIS SUBDIVISION AND SOME OF THE FINEST HOMES IN VERO BEACH,
