NOV 28 1984 Boa 59 explained that R -2B, the next lowest zoning district, would allow 8 units per acre, and that would bring this development in at approximately 14 units with the transfers, or possibly even lower. Commissioner Wodtke did not think it was fair to deduct the acreage involved in the donated road right-of-way, and Director Keating explained that the high density reflected the units on the buildable land after the right-of-way was taken. He pointed out that under our current site plan ordinance and the proposed planned residential development ordinance, there is an opportunity to cluster units on any part of a site and that is what is being done here. If you consider the total area, then the density is substantially below the 10 units per acre. Chairman Scurlock hoped that the Commission has a strong commitment to building Indian River Boulevard as a parallel to 6th Avenue and U.S. #1, because without that improvement, he felt it would be foolhearty to approve the kind of densities being considered today. He noted that the Transportation Planning Committee has designated the extension as a high priority. Commissioner Bowman questioned the exact line of the environmentally sensitive impoundment, and Director Keating thought that the environmentally sensitive area line is pretty much -contiguous with the dike system. Commissioner Bowman also expressed concern about keeping the fill that would be needed from going into the river and wished to know whether the bridge would be built on pilings. Administrator Wright advised that the road is in the design stage at present and these items are being taken under consideration. He felt that we can only rely on the engineers who happen to be among the best in the state. Chairman Scurlock stressed the importance of coordinating the road improvement with the drainage system. 24 s _I
