ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT HISTORICALLY WE ALWAYS HAVE TALKED IN TERMS OF S UNITS AS BEING MEDIUM DENSITY AND IF THE BOARD WANTS TO MAKE AN INROAD INTO THE DENSITY THAT IS THERE PRESENTLY, HE FELT THE BEST POSSIBILITY OF AVOIDING LITIGATION WOULD BE TO REZONE TO 8 RATHER THAN 6. HE REALIZED THAT MR. REVER IS LOOKING AT THE PLANNING ASPECT, -BUT HE I.S LOOKING TO KEEP THE COUNTY OUT OF COURT. CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO THE REZONING AND HAVE IT STICK RATHER THAN HAVE AN ABORTIVE EFFORT. HE, THEREFORE, WAS WILLING TO AGREE TO 8 UNITS PER ACRE, BUT FELT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE GET ON WITH IT. COMMISSIONER BIRD ASKED WHAT AREA THE CHAIRMAN WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND HE STATED THE AREA NORTH OF THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES TO THE NORTH COUNTY LINE - THE PROPERTY IN THIS AREA THAT IS PRESENTLY ZONED AT 15 UNITS AN ACRE, OR R-2. DISCUSSION AROSE ABOUT THE AREA DESIGNATED TOURIST - COMMERCIAL WHICH HAS A DENSITY OF ABOUT 43, AND PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER FELT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SHOULD GIVE THE BOARD AN ANALYSIS AND RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES. HE NOTED THAT THE ZONING DOES NOT NECESSARILY GO ALONG WITH THE COLORS INDICATED ON THE LAND USE GUIDE MAP. COMMISSIONER BIRD NOTED THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS SHORT OF STAFF AT PRESENT, AND PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER AGREED BUT STATED HE FELT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THAT THEY CAN OVERLAY SOME MAPS AND PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH SOME INFORMATION QUITE QUICKLY. ATTORNEY COLLINS SUGGESTED THAT IF THE BOARD IS INCLINED TO MOVE AHEAD IN THIS AREA WHICH IS ZONED 15 UNITS AN ACRE (R-2), THAT THE COUNTY WRITE TO THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION TO PUT THEM ON NOTICE THAT AT THE NEXT MEETING THE PLANNER WILL BE PRESENTING STATISTICS AND INFORMATION REGARDING A POSSIBLE REZONING AND THE BOARD WILL CONSIDER TAKING ACTION. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FLETCHER, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT THE CHAIRMAN SHOULD WRITE THE ABOVE DESCRIBED PROPERTY OWNERS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE ATTORNEY.
