SEP 7 1983 11 `, 5. FAcr 540 - Mr. Scent wished to state for the record that he owns no property within eight miles of the intersection under discussion. Chester Schmalz of 166 71st Avenue wished to know the steps and length of time involved in the amendment process and also whether the fact that the County does not at present have a Planning & Zoning Director would have any effect. Administrator Wright stated that it would not. Planning Manager Keating explained the steps which would be involved jn the amendment and rezoning process. Pat Flood, Mayor of Sebastian, pointed out that the legislation setting up the Comprehensive Plan provides the right to take a second look at it. He stated that the City of Sebastian already has looked at nodes they have put in and just because we have something for years doesn't mean we can't change it. He appreciated the Commission's receptive attitude and stated that the City of Sebastian will be glad to help the County Commi s s ion . Gary Dumar of 163 South Oleander, Sebastian, informed the Board that Mayor Thomas had asked the people sitting in the audience to take time off from work and come here today to show their support for industry in the Fellsmere area. He asked those who came here today for this purpose to stand. Approximately 40-50 people stood up and indicated their support. Commissioner Scurlock believed that through all the process of developing the Comprehensive Plan, the one thought he had constantly was that this was not a perfect document, and the; Commission would continue to have an open mind. He felt it would be disaster if we ever get to the point where due process and public opinion is not considered by the Commission. Commissioner Lyons objected to hearing the County Commission characterized as "anti -business." When you check the record, he did not feel that anything can be found that says a legitimate request that fits into the overall scheme of things is not approved. 105
