M M 171 under construction, and the Sebastian Lakes Sales Center. In addition, the node boundary includes the Hetra Corporation property, upon which a computer manufacturing facility is under construction. This node is surrounded by undeveloped land to the north, south, east and west. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the land to the southeast of the proposed -enlarged node as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre), and the land to the north, west and south -as AG, Agricultural (up to .2 units/acre). The staff has prepared four alternatives based on the Board of County Commissioners' direction to analyze the possibility of enlarging the node up to 1,000 acres. A brief analysis including the advantages and disadvantages will be offered. Each of the four alternatives involves increasing the size of the node. Based. upon the staff's analysis of the availability of large industrial tracts in the County which are available for development, a defficiency in the amount of that type of land was noted. Coupled with the County's recent efforts to attract more industry, this represents a change in policy and need since the Comprehensive.Plan was first adopted. Given those factors and an analysis of vacant land appropriate for industrial development, the staff determined that expansion of this node would be appropriate to provide for more larger tracts available for industrial development. The major issue then is the extent to which the node should be enlarged. One alternative is to keep the node at 240 acres. The second alternative would increase the node by 160 acres which would provide for some additional commercial or industrial development. The advantages of this alternative are that it'' would enlarge the node to include the 100 acre parcel of land between I-95 and the Hetra Corporation's property, square off the node in the southwestern quadrant, and include property fronting on County Road 512 which is located in Vero Lake Estates and Pine Lake Estates Subdivision. The disadvantages of this alternative are that the 100 acre parcel and the property in the southwestern quadrant of the node do not have good access to the transportation system. Alternative 3 would include all of the property in alternative 2 and a 200 acre parcel in the northeastern quadrant of the node. The advantages of this alternative are that it would provide a large area for commercial and industrial development. The disadvantage is that this additional parcel does not have direct access to the transportation system. Alternative 4 would add a 100 acre parcel in the northwest quadrant of the node and a 32 acre parcel in the northeast quadrant of the node to the property proposed in alternative three. The advantages of this alternative are that it would include more land in this area for commercial and industrial development. The disadvantage is that these parcels do not have access to the transportation system. Alternative 5 would expand the node to 1,000 acres. 140 acres would be included in the northwestern quadrant of the node, and 60 acres would be included in the northeastern quadrant of the node in addition to the land proposed in alternative four. The advantages of this proposal are that it would provide additional land for commercial and industrial development, and access is provided to parcels north and south of C.R. 512 in the western portion of the node. 17 JUL 29 1936 BOOK D5 Fr,EE 2,'39
