river. The area along the river is one of the prime real estate <br />areas in this county and there are just a few lots left. <br />Mr. Shearer confirmed that the nodal boundaries follow <br />property lines whenever possible. He pointed out that the P 6 Z <br />Commission feel that this node should be strictly a commercial <br />node, not a commercial/industrial node. <br />Chairman Scurlock was concerned whether the densities in <br />that area would meet the Health Department's criteria for <br />permitting septic systems, and Commissioner Bowman added that she <br />knew that some of the places along there have been dumping raw <br />sewage in the ditch for years. <br />Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if <br />anyone wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Rodney Kroegel, 11296 South Indian River Drive, introduced <br />his daughter Janice Timinsky, who is representing his sister, <br />Freda Thompson, who has property adjacent to his on the south <br />side. He emphasized that he has lived on this property since <br />1903 and it has been used commercially since he established the <br />Sebastian Electric and Plumbing Company in 1918. <br />Mrs. Timinsky explained that after the October meeting, her <br />family had felt sure that all of the Kroegel Homestead would be <br />included in the node which would bring it to the bend of Indian <br />River Drive. However, the P 6 Z Commission went by the tax rolls <br />and only included the 3.5 acres that her father resides on. The <br />Kroegel Homestead property actually covers 7.5 acres and the <br />family is concerned about having their property divided by two <br />different zonings. <br />Chairman Scurlock understood that staff's recommendation <br />does not include the entire Kroegel Homestead, gnly about half of <br />it. <br />Mrs. Timinsky confirmed that there are commercial uses on <br />the entire 7.5 acres. She and her husband have a branch office <br />of the Miami Audio Visual Company, her aunt has a nursery, and <br />her father has the plumbing company. <br />30 <br />FE 1 ��� BOOKPACE 660 <br />
