other than the 250 -ft. buffer is at the developer's risk, which would put him on notice that he should not rely on our rezoning. Attorney Stewart stated they would accept that. Commissioner Bird intended to vote for the rezoning because when we started looking for areas in the county with sufficient infrastructure to accommodate multiple -family development, we found that the SR -60 corridor had that infrastructure along with the availability of county water and sewer service. However, since some single-family residential areas could be negatively impacted, he felt the Board should do everything we can to mitigate that impact. If we can trust the representations that have been made by the developer and his attorney here this morning. then those protections should be built into the site plan. He felt the entire 68.4 acres could be handled all in one step here today because trying to hold the 10 acres back would be pretty cumbersome on staff, the P & Z Commission and this Board. He felt we all want the finished product to be in accord to what has gone on the record here this morning, and if it does not turn out that way, this Commission will rezone it back to something different. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board adopt Ordinance 86-22, rezoning 68.4 acres from A-1 and RS -6 to Multiple -Family Residential, RM -6. Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke believed the proposed development would have little, or no detrimental effect on the homes and life styles of the adjacent single-family subdivision. He felt the fact that 260 of Piper employees live outside Indian River County demonstrates the need for more affordable housing. Commissioner Bowman intended to vote for the rezoning but would have preferred the development to have gone through the PRD process because she is concerned about how this will -be built. 25 MAR 5.1996 Boor 6 ; ` c.800
