Bruce Ring, AI EFERENCES: Wabasso PO <br />Community Development iv. Director WORKB <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting on July 20, 1983. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />Indian River County has received a request from the United <br />States Postal Service to evaluate the feasibility of relocating <br />the Wabasso Post Office within the general area of the <br />unincorporated town. (See Attachment #1.) The specific site - <br />=area is bordered on the north by Durrance Road and the south by <br />79th Street, lying between the railroad tracks and the Indian <br />River. (See Attachment #2.) <br />The preferred site area is comprised of over 900 acres of <br />property situated on either side of a two mile section of U. S. <br />Highway #1. This represents eight (8) zoning districts and <br />three (3) Land Use.Designations. The proposed use is compatible <br />with the applicable Land Use designations; however, three (3) of <br />the eight (8) zoning districts do not cite public buildings as <br />an allowable use. Selection of property within the mobile home <br />or industrial zoning districts would require the approval of a <br />rezoning request. <br />Construction of a post office facility does require site plan <br />approval as per Indian River County Zoning Code. As des:1.gnated <br />by the Comprehensive Plan, a development proposal for this type <br />of project should provide for convenient access to the <br />transportation system while generating minimal environmental <br />impact. Taking into consideration the proposed general <br />location, these performance standards should be attainable. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends concurrence with the proposal to relocate the <br />Wabasso Post Office within the aforementioned preferred site <br />area. <br />51 <br />Boa 54 Pace 14,7 <br />
