It SEQ 1ag 3 " GordoniB.,Johnston, Attorney representing Vista Properties, presented Vista:Properties.request for. redesignation .+.and"indicated the properties in question on the map displayedon the wall. His arguments were: 1) Vista plans to establish an attractive neighborhood type•commercial area much like the Village Shops in Indian River Shores. 2) As far as the traffic pattern is concerned, Vista would • have to comply with any requirements of the Department of Transportation for deceleration lanes or turning lanes. 3) The South Relief Canal is a natural cut-off point for strip commercial zoning on U.S. #1. 4) All of the units in this development were sold with the purchasers being advised that this was a commercial area and the condominium documents filed with the State of Florida show this as commercial. Commissioner Scurlock expected, if this request was approved, numerous requests would be received all along that stretch of U.S. 01, possibly right on down to the county line. Attorney Lloyd noted the Commissioners questioned Mr. Keating and others as to whether you could control the property to the extent to guarantee this representation, and they were told yes. He believed the Chairman's concern about further requests being received along that stretch of U.S.! down to the south county line was a good concern. He also pointed out that the commercial property just south of the south relief canal is 360' deep and reducing the depth of the existing limited commercial as proposed would be making it more consistent with that property. Attorney Lloyd believed the record shows that misrepresenta- tions were made in the beginning when the change in zoning was made; so, the Board today is trying to correct an error, and he believed that staff's recommendation would represent consistency.
