7- L Planning & Zoning Commission; he tried to be recognized, but was not, and he was not even allowed to read a letter the Vero Beach Civic Association had addressed to Mrs. Eggert. Mr. Reider noted that, on the other hand, there were nine members of the Florida Land group present to make a "power play;" their presentation went far beyond what normally would be included in a site plan approval; and it was a real "stacked deck." j Attorney Henderson found it incredible for the Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission to come before the Board and contend that she ran an unfair hearing. He stated that as an applicant, Florida Land Company had a right to be heard and the opportunity for public participation was there. Commissioner Bird asked if it was Mrs. Eggert's feeling that it was an unusual meeting, and Mrs. Eggert believed it was an unfortunate situation due to lack of information, which she would not want to happen again. Considerable discussion followed as to the basis on which the Board could deny approval of the site plan, and Attorney Brandenburg stated that the Board must look at it from the view of all the County laws and ordinances, and based on what was presented at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, as well as at this meeting, determine if the review of the site plan met all county criteria or whether it created a situation detrimental to the health, welfare and safety of the community. Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by Commissioner Fletcher, to grant the appeal and deny the Site Plan of River Bend on the basis that evidence presented at the Zoning Commission meeting and the evidence presented today show it to be detrimental to the health, welfare and safety of the community. • 51 P -,m 48 PACE757
