MAR 10 1987 BOOK 67 Commissioner Bowman felt that the property owners in that area do not know it is zoned industrial, and Mr. Shearer advised that they received notices on both this hearing and that of the P & Z hearing. Commissioner Bowman also pointed out that to the north on CR -510, just to the west of the industrial site, there is a gorgeous 10 -acre parcel with a single family residence. Commissioner Bird felt that in some cases, the property owners have the best of both worlds. They can continue to reside there, but by virtue of this ordinance, will have the potential of their property becoming very valuable because of the zoning. Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard. Dan Preuss,326 Live Oak Drive, felt that the line separating the commercial on the east side of U.S. #1 is arbitrarily drawn. He owns lot #4 on the east side of U.S. #1 and looks out on a tackle shop, a veterinarian's office, and an auto parts store. He emphasized that Lot 5, next to him, is commercial and the rest of the block, Lots 1 through 4, is zoned RS -6. To the east of that is a large citrus grove and the proposed zoning is RM -6. Mr. Shearer advised that in order to give a better boundary, staff would like to amend their recommendation to delete from the node lots 5 and 6 of Block 1 of Graves Addition to Wabasso. Mr. Preussnoted that there still would be a small area that is excluded from being either multi -family or commercial, but Commissioner Bird felt that in order to be consistent, we would have to either take in the entire block, including Mr. Preuss' lot, or exclude the entire block. Mr. Shearer pointed out that staff feels that multiple family, rather than RS -6, would be the most appropriate zoning, but that cannot be done today. There being no others who wished to be.heard, Chairman Scurlock declared the Public Hearing closed.
