SEP 211983 K4 WE 666 <br />Gordon B. Johnston, Attorney representing Vista <br />Properties, presented Vista Properties request for <br />redesignation and indicated the properties in question on <br />the map displayed on the wall. His arguments were; <br />1) Vista plans to establish an attractive neighborhood <br />type commercial area much like the Village Shops in <br />Indian River Shores. <br />2) As far as the traffic pattern is concerned, Vista <br />would have to comply with any requirements of the <br />Department of Transportation for deceleration lanes <br />or turning lanes. <br />3) The South Relief Canal is a natural cut-off point <br />for strip commercial zoning on U.S. #1. <br />4) All of the units in this development were sold with <br />the purchasers being advised that this was a <br />commercial area and the condominium documents filed <br />with the State of Florida show this as commercial. <br />Commissioner Scurlock expected, if this request was <br />approved, numerous requests would be received all along that <br />stretch of U.S. #1, possibly right on down to the county <br />line. <br />Administrator Wright informed the Board that the mobile <br />home park in that stretch has been sold and there would be a <br />request received shortly to rezone that property. <br />Commissioner Wodtke considered this property as unique <br />in all the county as it contains what used to be McKee's <br />Jungle Gardens. He felt that Vista has done an excellent <br />job of preserving the beauty of the gardens area and was <br />confident that Vista would continue to maintain the <br />integrity of the property. <br />Robert Gaskill, officer of Vista Properties, assured <br />Commissioner Scurlock that they had design capacity in the <br />existing wastewater plan and that the water would come frog, <br />the South County water system. <br />58 <br />
