Commissioner Bowman inquired whether Mr. Sullivan had considered the recommendation made in regard to squaring this property off, and Mr. Sullivan stated they had thought of it themselves, but if the thought would be that this would cut off some of the commercial, that would.be ridiculous. Commissioner Bowman believed it would make the small acreage desirable and very developable, but Attorney Sullivan stated that anyone who knows anything about building knows that it is totally undesirable and cannot be sold for this purpose, and they have no Intention of doing anything like that. Commissioner Bowman felt townhouses could be put there and make it attractive and compatible with the neighborhood, but Mr. Sullivan stated this is a deteriorating neighborhood. Commissioner Bowman did not agree. Chairman Lyons asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Francis Dean of 606 8th Place, just north of the subject property, presented further complaints re drainage problems and stated that he opposes the rezoning. Commissioner Bird commented that he has discussed the drainage problem with the Public Works Director, and he feels that once we make 8th Street connect to Indian River Blvd., it will be a much better situation for the drainage. Attorney Sam Block noted that he had listened with interest to Mr. Sullivan's comments in regard to rezoning the corner owned by his father-in-law Mr. Karst, and he wished to know what had been said about this previously. Attorney Brandenburg clarified that Mr. Sullivan had stated the county would have to rezone that property to commercial, and as County Attorney, he did not agree with that statement. It was determined that no one further wished to be heard. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) closed the public hearing. 57 MAY 1 1985 BOOK 60 ulu 776J J
