of Indian River Boulevard, and, therefore, the people should look <br />to the County for a remedy. He noted that it appears the biggest <br />concern, which he felt is a false concern, is the traffic issue. <br />The traffic will have to meet the county's traffic standards <br />ordinance, and the county's own staff shows that by virtue of <br />this rezoning, it would be possible to put in almost triple the <br />amount of square footage of offices as you could of retail, which <br />actually would show an 11% increase in the traffic that could be <br />generated as a result of the down zoning. He believed an even <br />more important point is co -mingling of traffic at the entrance, <br />and if the office development generates more traffic, there will <br />be more co -mingling. <br />Attorney Brandenburg expressed surprise that Mr. Barkett can <br />represent the Home Owners Association on this situation because <br />he wrote the agreement for the county that provided for the <br />acquisition of the little one acre tract that is part of this <br />rezoning, and an exhibit to that agreement showed specific access <br />that connects into the entrance to the Gardens Association. The <br />Association saw that and agreed to it, and at the time they did, <br />the entire 19 acres was commercial. It, therefore, hardly seems <br />feasible to think that the county and the Gardens folks thought <br />that if they agreed to it, that it wouldn't be reasonable for the <br />developer to rely on the agreement they had in writing and move <br />ahead with a development scheme for this property. Even more <br />than that, the concern here is the intermixing. The development <br />scheme for the front property has always anticipated access off <br />U.S.I., and he felt that the people in the Gardens would think <br />that was a negative because in order to get to a property that is <br />almost in their backyard, they would be forced to go out onto <br />U.S.I. The access to the little square one acre tract <br />obviously has to be off the entrance road. It can't be anywhere <br />else; so, if traffic' is really a concern of the County <br />Commission, they would not be zoning this to a category that <br />25 <br />DEC 6 1988 <br />6.,______ <br />ROOK: <br />75 F,f;E 276 <br />
