there was no point in proceeding with any rezoning due to the long process involved in changing a land use in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Bill Koolage, 815 26th Avenue, appreciated the fact that the County has to follow through on the site plan process, but expressed his growing concern about out-of-town developers building more and more shopping centers that remain half empty months and even years after their grand openings. He suggested that a county -wide moratorium on shopping centers be imposed and that the Board consider establishing an architectural review committee. He urged the Board to protect the people in this county from developers covering up good green land with concrete. His statement received great applause from the standing -room - only audience. Judy Ligor, resident of Unit 5 in Vista Gardens, circulated a fold -out, color sales brochure which Vista Properties presented to her back in February, 1985, when they were purchasing their unit. The brochure makes several references to the beautiful garden settings in Vista Gardens, i.e. "a winding road which seems to lead to an exotic land", "a remote jungle paradise", "a background of captivating beauty", "a garden landscape whose beauty is unmatched anywhere in the world", "enjoy nature's miracles in their own backyard", "the exquisite gardens and ponds", etc. Mrs. Ligor felt there is no way Vista Properties can preserve the things they promised in this brochure if they go ahead with the commercial development at the size proposed. Chairman Scurlock asked Director Keating if the developer has to keep the things that are shown on his site plan, and Director Keating advised that they do until such time as they come in with an amended site plan. With respect to the entrance, there are a couple of places that show it is not part of their site plan and staff will check that out at the Technical Review meeting. JUL 21. 987 37 BOOK C i
