Rivers Anderson, P.O. Box 61, Vero Beach, representing Frances Walker, owner of 3 lots in the SE corner of Block 15, expressed great concern that the Board rezoned those blocks to residential after staff and the P & Z Commission had twice recommended they be included in the hospital/commercial node. He pointed out that the church might be able to utilize the parking lot of a commercial/medical building on Sundays or after hours.

Sandra Glover, owner of 3 lots in Blocks 14 and 15, objected to her property being rezoned to residential because she and her husband purchased it 9 years ago as commercial and intend to build suitable medical buildings.
