Chairman Scurlock did not concur with Director Keating's statement that there was some vesting. He was not sure that just because someone gets approval originally, which they did, it necessarily vests them from the standpoint of the Commission approving a site plan, particularly when we can identify that substantial harm could come to adjacent properties. He believed that if an error was made, and if, indeed, we can say that it did occur, the Commission has the ability to address that issue through the site plan process. Director Keating advised that Public Works Director Jim Davis and Traffic Engineer Mike Orr coordinated the preliminary traffic analysis. Wilbur Smith did the first preliminary analysis for the applicant in the original submittal, and Kimley-Horn did the analysis in the latest submittal. Chairman Scurlock asked if there was a conflict of interest on Kimley-Horn's part in that they represented the County on Indian River Boulevard and now they are representing the developer. Director Davis explained that basically, Kimley-Horn's scope of work in designing Indian River Boulevard was to design the roadway geometrics and the drainage. The County, basically, did the traffic studies in-house. Chairman Scurlock assumed then that Kimley-Horn would not be testifying or entering information as to the traffic capacities or that sort of thing. Planner Stan Boling pointed out 3 critical intersections: 1) The entry road from Vista Trail up to Indian River Boulevard, especially the left-hand turn movements going towards U.S. #1. 2) The intersection of 4th St. and U. S. #1. 3) The intersection of 1st St. and U.S. #1. Mr. Boling advised that the developer has committed to 2 major types of improvements at U.S. #1 and 4th Street intersection: 26 APR 5 1988 BOOF ` 1 a[,E 454
