Attorney Stewart stressed that utilities have always been an issue on this project and have caused some delay in pushing forward full steam. An additional reason for the delay was that this piece of property was being considered for acquisition by the County for the beach program. He believed that his client is clearly within the confines and requirements of the ordinance for continuing this site plan. Gordon Nutt, owner of the subject property, briefly reviewed the Chronology of Events, explaining that during the past year Bill McKeon and Mike Chason, principals of Jupiter Development Corporation, had an option to buy this property which expired January 3,1985, and because of the various problems relating to this property, such as the moratorium and this public hearing, they chose not to take a further extension on the option. Mr. Nutt continued that during the 1-1/2 years the property was being considered for acquisition by the County, his property was considered to be the prime candidate. He recalled that in meetings with Commissioner Bird, Attorney Brandenburg, and Administrator Wright, he had mentioned that if his site plan was ever in question due to the delay in making this property available for possible acquisition, he hoped his cooperation and effort would not come back to hurt him. Commissioner Scurlock wanted the record to reflect that it was a Commission decision to authorize Commissioner Bird and the Beach Acquisition Committee to consider several pieces of property along the beach in Indian River County for acquisition under the "Save Our Coast" program. Mr. Nutt entered into the record a binder which contains the Chronology of Events, Site Plan, Hotel Building "A" Preliminary Development Costs, Hotel Building "A" Construction, and Building "A" Utilities.
