THERE WOULD BE SOME PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS WHO WOULD HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEIR BUILDINGS, AND THERE WOULD BE LESS PEOPLE ON A YEAR-ROUND BASIS. HE ADDED THAT, IN SINGLE FAMILY ZONING, THOSE SERVICES WOULD BE ON A FULL-TIME BASIS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGAIN EXPRESSED GREAT CONCERN OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH VESTED INTEREST IN THE AREA. HE COMMENTED THAT WHEN REZONING WENT FROM 15 TO S UNITS PER ACRE, IT WAS DONE IN A COOPERATIVE WAY WITH A PROPERTY OWNER; THE PROBLEMS WERE MUTUALLY WORKED OUT, AND HE FELT THIS PROCEDURE WOULD ELIMINATE A LOT OF LAW SUITS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT DENSITY, THE DENSITY CAP IS VERY SELDOM REACHED. HE ALSO THOUGHT THAT SINGLING OUT AN AREA FOR A MORATORIUM WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA; HE FELT YOU HAD BETTER HAVE GOOD FACTS AND BE ABLE TO DEFEND YOUR POSITION. CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AT GREAT LENGTH REGARDING THE PROBLEMS OF SINGLING OUT ONE SPECIFIC AREA. COMMISSIONER BIRD STATED THAT BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS, HE WOULD VOTE AGAINST THE MOTION, AND IF IT FAILED, HE WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO INITIATE 6 UNITS AN ACRE, WHICH HE THOUGHT WAS DEFENDABLE. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED 3 TO Z, WITH COMMISSIONERS WODTKE AND BIRD VOTING IN OPPOSITION. DISCUSSION THEN FOLLOWED CONCERNING A MORATORIUM FOR THE SAME AREA. THE ATTORNEY EXPLAINED THAT THE BROADER THE AREA WAS FOR THE MORATORIUM, THE MORE DEFENDABLE IT WOULD BECOME. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, SECONDED BY COM- MISSIONER FLETCHER, TO ENACT A MORATORIUM WITHIN 6O DAYS OR SUCH LESSER TIME, IN ORDER TO STOP THE ON -RUSH OF SITE PLANS, AND WHICH WOULD -COINCIDE WITH THE REZONING OF THE NORTH BEACH AREA, WHICH IS NORTH OF THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES'TO THE NORTH COUNTY LINE ON THE BARRIER ISLAND. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK COMMENTED THAT THE MORATORIUM WOULD L - AFFECT ANY NEW APPLICATIONS FOR SITE PLANS AND THOSE THAT ARE NOW IN PROCESS. JUN 31981 47 46 PACE 617
