JUL 2 11 <br />ff <br />Boor, <br />L rI Jr <br />Chairman Scurlock understood that <br />they just cannot go <br />out <br />3 <br />and modify without coming back to the County. He realized that <br />the rosy words some developers use in their sales brochures are <br />written by public relations people trying to market a product, <br />but felt they sometimes create a lot of misunderstanding. <br />Unfortunately, in this situation, the developer has a valid site <br />..plan submission, and the County can only work within the site <br />plan process to try and protect the residents of Vista Gardens. <br />Grace Kleinman, resident of Vista Gardens, pointed out that <br />along with the construction of the southerly extension of Indian <br />River Boulevard, the County is constructing another roadway which <br />will lead into the Vista Gardens easement and alleviate the <br />problem of the residents turning south from that location. <br />However, they have been told that trucks will be entering the <br />proposed complex through that road from Indian River Boulevard. <br />If a super market or department store is built in the proposed <br />commercial complex, there will be a daily influx of trucks making <br />deliveries. Mrs. Kleinman urged the Commissioners to visit Vista <br />Gardens and slowly drive through the entrance way to get some <br />idea of how this shopping center will impact their residential <br />development. <br />Director Keating advised that staff will be looking at the <br />truck traffic during the site plan review. <br />_ Sandy Kale, a life-long resident of Indian River County,_ <br />recalled the beauty of McKee Jungle Gardens, and urged the Board <br />to retain this property in its natural state, if at all possible. <br />Dorothy Eubanks, resident of Vista Gardens, emphasized how <br />unique their development is, and wished to talk about the site <br />plan process. She stated that they have tried to be reasonable <br />and realistic when talking to the developers about the proposed <br />shopping center, but unfortunately, the developer has been very <br />non -committal about• the road he is planning to put across from <br />Indian River Boulevard which would cross the entrance road. She <br />believed that such a road would cause a. tremendous traffic hazard <br />38 <br />
