BOOK 65 FADE 148 - <br />Richard Shearer, Chief of Long -Range Planning, advised that <br />staff recommends Alternative 2, but does not feel that the <br />200 -ft. depth is appropriate for the narrow strip along U.S. #1 <br />and will increase that to approximately 300 feet. However, it <br />appears that we have only 70 feet of right-of-way on U.S. #1 in <br />front of that strip, and since eventually we will need another 50 <br />feet, we may adc[ 50 feet for that right-of-way now and start the <br />300 ft, measurement from that point. The City of Vero Beach has <br />the deannexation of these areas on hold until it receives the <br />County's feelings. Staff would like to get this matter resolved <br />as soon as possible, because if the City does deannex this <br />property, we will have to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan <br />and would like to start that process this month. <br />Mr. Shearer confirmed that staff's recommendation includes <br />350 feet of right-of-way. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, that the Board accept staff <br />recommendation of Alternative #2 with 350 feet. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bird suggested that the <br />property between the General Commercial and Medical Districts be <br />designated as General Commercial instead of Limited Commercial. <br />Mr. Shearer advised that staff considered that, but felt <br />there are many uses in General Commercial that are not <br />appropriate next to a medical node, such as used car lots, <br />packing houses, etc. <br />Commissioner Bird did not feel a used car lot was <br />objectionable, and Chairman Scurlock explained that basically we <br />are giving staff permission to go ahead with the City on this and <br />the decision on whether to go with CL or CG can be made at a <br />later date. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if this would allow CG beside <br />residential, and Director Keating advised that it would put it up <br />17 <br />01 <br />
