Chairman Scurlock realized we are discussing a zoning issue, <br />not a site plan, but in staff's memo it states that "It has also <br />been demonstrated that this level of service can only be main- <br />tained by utilizing the access road/Indian River Boulevard <br />connector road. Utilization of this road and the main entrance <br />would increase commercial/residential traffic intermixing, with <br />the added impacts referenced above." On the site plan that is in <br />the court process right now, it was his particular position that <br />he would not support intermixing that traffic, and as one <br />Commissioner, he has very strong concerns about intermixing and <br />using that entrance into Vista Gardens. Therefore, he is not <br />sure that is an option. <br />Director Keating felt possibly staff should not have in- <br />cluded that statement, but without that intermixing, he believed <br />you could not meet the service level. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed the option that is still avail- <br />able is to reduce the intensity so that you can maintain the <br />service level. He noted that there has been some question as to <br />why we are having this meeting today while there is a lawsuit <br />going on, and he would like the County Attorney to distinguish <br />between the two issues involved. <br />County Attorney Vitunac confirmed that, in one sense, there <br />are two separate issues. This is a straight rezoning which <br />should be considered as any other rezoning. The fact that there <br />is a lawsuit will somehow affect the development of this land, <br />and that is all we can say at the present time. For today's <br />issue, however, the Commission should forget the lawsuit. <br />Chairman Scurlock then opened the public hearing, explaining <br />the process to be followed and requesting that those authorized <br />to represent groups speak first. <br />Attorney Gary Brandenburg came before the Board representing <br />Vista Properties of Vero Beach, Inc., and advised that their <br />mission is to convince the County Commission and residents that <br />if the Commission takes this action today, it is not based on any <br />23 <br />DEC 6 1988 <br />BOOK .75 ['AGE 274 <br />
