JUL 16 1986 BOOK 65 Fact 87 <br />Attorney William Stewart came before the Board representing <br />the applicant, Waterford Associates, and wished to clarify <br />several points. In regard to the comparison of this project with <br />the circumstances Indian River Estates were faced with when their <br />project came through, he believed this ordinance was not <br />available to them at that time so the whole subject of density <br />credits or bonuses was not something they were able to take <br />advantage of.

In addition, the people who will be living <br />in this ACLF will be paying a premium rental over what they would <br />pay in a normal apartment; they are in this facility because they <br />want the group services that are offered, and if those services <br />are not offered any more, they will leave. <br />Commissioner Bird asked what we do about the buildings if <br />the project failed and the people left, and Chairman Scurlock <br />felt our option would be just not to let the building be <br />occupied. <br />Attorney Stewart stated he would not have any qualms with <br />that because if a developer comes in and asks for special <br />treatment because of a special use, once he stops using it for <br />that particular use, he would have no sympathy with trying to <br />work out his problems. <br />Chairman Scurlock then inquired about the visual impact of <br />the facility, and Attorney Stewart advised that this particular <br />40 <br />- M <br />
