Commissioner Eggert clarified that her Motion does not <br />include anything but the fact that it return to its current <br />zoning. She stated that strangely she would be more sympathetic <br />to a commercial situation if a larger piece of property were <br />being considered. She emphasized that this is just a very <br />difficult piece of property sitting in a very difficult place. <br />Chairman Scurlock did think we have to realize that the <br />Rockridge area is changing, and he believed that even the resi- <br />dents have noticed this. Some of the housing units are changing <br />into rental units, and he personally felt the officetype buffer <br />suits this type of property. The Chairman did not think we <br />should get into market considerations of whether there is too <br />much office space or commercial space; he believed there is too <br />much of both available at this time, but that will change as we <br />grow. He noted we are going to be asked very soon to look at The <br />Promenade project which is before the' City of Vero Beach. <br />Projects can be designed to deal with drainage, and he felt we <br />would be wise to start acquiring additional right-of-way to make <br />6th Avenue a wider road. If the size of the property being <br />considered were larger, he might feel a little differently about <br />it, but otherwise, he will support the Motion. <br />Commissioner Bowman felt that 2.5 acres is much too small a <br />parcel to allow for a retention pond. <br />Attorney Henderson informed the Board that they would like <br />to be allowed to amend their application, and Attorney Vitunac <br />advised the Board that it is legal to hear what Attorney <br />Henderson has to say, if they wish to. <br />Board members had questions as to whether they could enter- <br />tain an amendment to OCR or PRO because it was not advertised, <br />and Commissioner Bird stated that he would like to hear what <br />Attorney Henderson has to offer and then ask the County Attorney <br />if we can consider it. <br />In discussion, Commissioner Wheeler stated that he also <br />would like to hear what Attorney Henderson has to say. <br />A- <br />2 5 BOOK 67 fxu "31 u <br />FEB 1 ? 1987 <br />
