AUG 101982 <br />August; Z, 1982 <br />0K 50 FACE 895 <br />4, <br />Mr. Dick Bird <br />P.O. Box 507 <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Dear Mr. Bird," <br />I have reviewed the written section of the Comprehensive <br />Land Plan and find one section disturbs me as'a real estate <br />investor and developer. The two items of.concern are on <br />page 33 and deal directly with commercial centers and the <br />nodes that they are within. <br />In Section ;, it states All nodes shall be permitted to <br />develop on a basis of service needs. An applicant shall <br />provide information regarding the immediate market or need <br />before a node mar be established through the zoning code. <br />I feel this restricts free enterprise by having a governmental <br />body determine Why a man should build a business and offer <br />a service to the community. If an individual has thb feel <br />and determination to be in business that is no concern to the <br />county, city or Federal Government. He should not have to <br />prove a need for his business or the development of his land. <br />In Section 7, it states Co,,�Iercial centers within all <br />nodes shall have 4.5 square feet of land area to every one <br />square foot of building space whenever possible. Elsewhere <br />in the code it states that for evary square foot of building <br />it requires so much parking and dictates the landscaping require- <br />ments. Now in addition to these two requirements you are stating <br />that you need in unison with that, 4.5 square feet of land. <br />I think you are putting restrictions on restrictions and it <br />becomes extremely difficult to determine the size of commercial <br />property one must buy to fulfill a need. If you multiply this <br />out, the property needed for a commercial center is expanded over <br />and above the needs for parking and landscaping. This paragraph <br />is redundant and expensive to the developer. <br />ou for your consideration/9the above items. <br />Kind regards, <br />PAUL' E . KOEHLER <br />REALTOR - G.R.I. <br />Re market study, Mr. Challacombe explained that staff <br />currently is performing an analysis and giving the <br />Commission a statement of facts concerning a particular <br />application in their memos of recommendation. What this <br />requirement would provide is additional information as to <br />whether a sufficient market is available for that particular <br />use so we can look at the first come, first served basis as <br />to where these should go and avoid ending up with a <br />22 <br />E7 <br />
