coming up for re-election, and he urged the Board to vote in <br />the interests of all, not for special interests. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously <br />closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that the City of Vero <br />Beach at one time had great hopes for their Airport complex, <br />but to this date the only development out there is basically <br />the City of Vero Beach itself. He felt now, however, we <br />have a real live prospect. Commissioner Scurlock noted that <br />we have been trying to attract light industry, and he felt <br />the proposed project will not only benefit the community, <br />but will indicate that we do have a sincere interest in <br />clean light industry. He further pointed out that the <br />Sebastian community has industrial acreage available, and he <br />felt it is unselfish of them to come before us and support <br />this request. <br />Commissioner Lyons expressed the belief that if this <br />factory locates in our area, it will attract other industry, <br />and he favored approving their request. <br />Chairman Bird felt Mayor Thomas hit it on the head when <br />he said you have to represent all the people. Strictly from <br />a planning point of view, the Chairman agreed it would be <br />nice if the subject property were right in the center of <br />that intersection and we did not have to stretch some to <br />include it, but he felt the plusses of having this type of <br />development in the county certainly outweigh the minuses. <br />Commissioner Bowman agreed and believed, if the price <br />of the land doesn't get too horrendously high around that <br />intersection, the node eventually could encompass it. <br />107 <br />NOV 16 1983 <br />L_-- <br />
