� AUG 2 2 1984 BOOR 58 64 Discussion followed as to how long it would take to amend the Comprehensive Plan to expand a node and also regarding the fact that this action can be initiated either at the request of the property owner or the County Commission. Commissioner Bowman felt in this case, it should be the Board's responsibility. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Attorney Steve Henderson, representing the owner of the property, Indian River Industrial Associates, which is a partnership of five individuals, four of whom are in indus- trial manufacturing and research businesses. He stated that this is a 58 acre site and they do have a development plan based on parcels of basically 3 to 5 acres each. Attorney Henderson felt that the Commission is inter- ested in attracting industrial uses to the county. He emphasized his belief that the proposed project is desirable and the demand is there; the question seems to be how to fit it in the node and permit it. He pointed out that they have the proper zoning and have had it for ten years; the confusion arises from the property being in the "maybe" area of a node; and he felt that the Master Plan, in essence, repeals the zoning. In regard to a statement about lack of access, Attorney Henderson informed the Board that they have a 60' right-of-way coming in on the north side, which runs north of the runway to 98th Avenue. Attorney Henderson wished to point out that what we have here is a conflict as to interpretation of the Plan. There are 300 acres available in the node and only 220 are committed according to the staff report. This leaves 80 acres, and his clients are only asking for 58. Staff is saying that these 80 acres are being reserved, or have to be, for connectors or in -fill area between the extremities NA
