OCT 10 1984 BooK 58 Pr: GE 5.83 . favorable use. He believed that rezoning this property would be comparable to the confiscation of one's property and urged the Board to deny the request for rezoning. Commissioner Bird recalled that when the Comp Plan was adopted, the feeling was that we did not want the westerly entrance into Vero Beach to be one big commercial strip. He noticed that several large multi -family developments have been built along that stretch since then. Attorney Gore pointed out that most of the property in question is composed of small parcels which are unsuitable for multi -family developments. Dominic Lettiere, trustee for a piece of property in the area, stated he was opposed to the rezoning for the reasons mentioned here this morning. He stated that he also wished to retain the tranquility, serenity and beauty of Vero Beach, but felt it is unreasonable to expect R -2D to develop in this area in view of the commercial/industrial node at SR -60 and I-95. Clara Lybrand, local resident, explained that she and her late husband purchased a 5 -acre tract located on the south side of SR -60 and also some property on the west side of the property in question. She wished to request exemption from the rezoning of their 5 -acre tract and if the Board does not see fit to do that, then asked that they exempt the north 735 feet and allow it to remain B-1. She understood there would be a one-year delay to have the rezoning changed back to commercial. She recalled that she and her late husband and the Thomases bought this property just because it fronted on SR -60, and they had the good foresight to realize that commercial would develop in that area and it would be a good investment. Rivers Anderson, owner of property in the area, was not familiar with the 75 ft. setback in this area. 26
