8� <br />SEP 7 19 -- 5 : fACE <br />is the first time Comprehensive Plan amendments have been <br />considered; the Commission already has waived the deadline once, <br />and staff recommends that the Board waive the time limitation in <br />this case also. <br />Commissioner Lyons inquired about the time that would be <br />required for this consideration, and Mr. Keating believed it <br />would be a minimum of two months. He noted that the request for <br />rezoning could be considered within the same period. <br />David -Martin of the Vero Beach Chamber of Commerce requested <br />that the Commission grant the waiver to allow Helene Holding <br />Company to file for a redesignation of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Robert Byer of Helene Holding Company informed the Board <br />that they intend to put up a plant of about 50,000 sq. ft. to <br />manufacture computers and computer support systems. As these <br />systems are fairly large and they probably only make 8 or 10 a <br />month, they would only require a truck every week or so. He <br />emphasized that their product is used primarily by the federal <br />government and larger companies in the United States; they do not <br />manufacture home computers. Mr. Byer continued that they have a <br />long range plan which has them virtually doubling in size every <br />year for five years and they have a commitment for working <br />capital. The key problem is having a place to put it all <br />together and having a body of people they can hire and train. <br />Mr. Byer stated that.should the rezoning be granted, they will <br />begin to put the plant up immediately. He further explained that <br />they buy the electric components, make their own structural <br />parts, and test for quality control, etc. They do not etch the <br />circuit boards; they only assemble and test. <br />Discussion ensued re the type of service force needed, and <br />Mr. Byers stated they are looking for several types of people, <br />but mainly the work does not take any particular amount of <br />training or experience. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that he fully supports granting <br />a waiver of the deadline as requested. He believed this presents <br />103 <br />
