Mr. Anderson pointed out that a company owns the majority of <br />the lots in the first block. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked how long this has been zoned B-1, <br />and Mr. Shearer stated ten years. <br />Charles Palmer of 81st Terrace, longtime property owner in <br />this area, informed the Board that Paradise Park was sold in the <br />mid 50's by a developer from Miami, and at that time it was C-1 <br />to a 1/4 mile depth all the way from 82nd Avenue to 90th. When <br />the rezoning was done in 1967, the late City/County Planner Val <br />Brennan invented the B-1 zoning to prevent gas stations and used <br />car lots in that area. <br />Sloan O'Donnell, of Village Green, informed that Board that <br />he just moved here recently and he is proud of the County. He <br />felt we all should recognize that Route 60 is the main access <br />route from I-95 and that it is to our advantage to maintain as <br />attractive an approach to the City as possible. Mr. O'Donnell <br />believed what the Board is trying to do is sacrifice a really <br />pleasant approach for commercial expediency, and he, therefore, <br />supported the plan the County's professional people came up with. <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Lyons referred to the motion previously sug- <br />gested by Commissioner Bird, and stated that he agreed with the <br />approach of going as deep as 21st St. in Paradise Park to get <br />some of the pressure off of SR 60. He believed the people who <br />bought there have had a mixed history, and if we are going to <br />leave this as a business district, he felt we should leave it so <br />it is deep enough to do something with other than just another <br />roadside stand. <br />37 <br />OCT 17 1984 aooK 58 Fnp 673 <br />
