L_ 1 Commissioner Bird inquired if Mr. Zorc was developing a multi -family complex next to Colonial Terrace. Mr. Zorc stated that he was, and advised it was raw land. He felt this was an unfair comparison. Mr. Fleckenstein believed that some sort of a compromise would be the answer. He suggested -that multi -family should be placed in the middle of the tract, and single family be placed on the outside. Mr. Fleckenstein added that trying to accomodate a buffer through zoning was a good intention, but felt the buffer zone was necessary and should be shown on the map. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the Hibiscus Airport tract and the surrounding area. Commissioner Scurlock asked what the Planning Department's recommendation was for a compromise. Mr. Rever stated that this could be accomplished through the site plan process, and zoning. John Kenny, Colonial Terrace Homeowners Association, came before the Board and stated that 45 homeowners in his area want specific rezoning. He felt this would prevent the hassle of crying residents when going through the site plan. Commissioner Bird noted that the County had the options and the tools to work with and they were in unanimous agreement to protect the single-family residents. He added that in going through the plan for over a year, they had not looked out for the working man in this County. Commissioner Bird felt that density had become such an emotional thing; they have tried to protect the people next door as best they could. John Matthews, 777 13th Avenue, objected to the Board for this particular type of zoning. He pointed out that one of the reasons he moved to his present location was for the character of the place, which is single-family. Commissioner Scurlock felt there should be a transition zone of some sort; such as MD -1 and then phase into LD -2. Boa 4%' PATE 689 OCT , 1981 3
