I F E B 20 1985 Boos CHAMBER OF COMMERCE February 19, 1985 The`;Honorable Chairman and Board of County Commissioners 1840.25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Dear Chairman Lyons and Commissioners: VERO BEACH - INDIAN RIVER COUNTY 1216 21ST STREET - P. O. BOX 2947 VERO BEACH. FLORIDA 32961 ( 305) 567.3491 It appears timely that the Vero Beach -Indian Rover County Chamber of Commerce should restate its position in support of tourist - related industries such as hotels and motels. These enterprises increase the economic viability of our county by providing addi- tional jobs, trade activities for our business men and women, and increased revenues from tourist dollars which, in turn, support community funding needs. We urge you, especially.. -in light of the density restrictions now imposed by the Hutchinson Island building moratorium, to retain the opportunity for such a facility to be constructed on the barrier island. Sincerely, J. B. Norton, Jr. Executive Vice President Attorney Stewart noted that he did not dwell a great deal on the "good faith" aspect because this was gone into very thoroughly at the last hearing. He stated that if either of the gentlemen making comment has not viewed their documentation, he believed it would be very difficult for them to reach a conclusion regarding a good faith effort. Attorney Stewart emphasized that the developer has invested hundreds of thousand of dollars not only in the foundation, but also the utilities. He believed this project is very distinguishable from the other projects. Chairman Lyons agreed that this is just part of the total evidence that has been heard. 54 0 n r�'+ y n y p r C LA n1 � hC•o The`;Honorable Chairman and Board of County Commissioners 1840.25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Dear Chairman Lyons and Commissioners: VERO BEACH - INDIAN RIVER COUNTY 1216 21ST STREET - P.
