He has not seen one and wished to know if <br />this was done. <br />Chief Planner Shearer assured Mr. Gentilly that the Planning <br />Department did post such notice at the south property line on <br />U.S.1 so it would be visible from the highway. Sometimes, <br />however, these notices are knocked down or -removed. <br />Ed Schlitt, Trustee for the subject property, spoke in <br />detail of their efforts to work out a development plan compatible <br />with the Planning Department's overall planning for the area <br />along the proposed Indian River Boulevard extension, noting that <br />they gave up their original plans for a six -place Cobb Theatre. <br />He further noted that when the Planning Department made a request <br />of property owners along this route for right-of-way, his group <br />indicated they had no objection to giving half the right-of-way <br />if the other half was given by adjoining property owners on the <br />other side of the Boulevard.
