Mr. Boling pointed out that the 1993 date was the developer's projection and that all of their analyses, especially their traffic analysis, was based on the mall being finished by December 31, 1993. Commissioner Scurlock wanted staff to put in a little better language to make sure that the project not only commences, but is completed in a timely fashion. Mr. Boling understood that Commissioner Scurlock was talking about C.O.s for development on the out parcels, and asked if the Board wished to insert anything about the out parcels along U.S. #1 in the commercial area. Chairman Wheeler just wanted it clearly understood where we want to go with this, because while we are all in agreement now, sometimes the picture changes a year or so later, and he didn't want that to happen. Commissioner Bird understood that Chairman Wheeler is saying that the development of the out parcels does not constitute proper construction of the mall itself, and that the out parcels are separate. Chairman Wheeler felt that if the mall is never a reality, we may not want to see development of commercial property back along 53rd Street. U.S. #1, however, is another story because it is already commercial. Commissioner Eggert felt that if it had to be rezoned, we would put it back somewhat the way it is. Chairman Wheeler wanted to see Indian River Boulevard stay clear of commercial development as much as possible, and Commissioner Scurlock said that is why he raised the question of the Boulevard bisecting the multi -family property. He guaranteed that once that key intersection is established, there is going to be pressure for it to develop as commercial. Commissioner Wheeler felt we could find some mixed use for that property, and Commissioner Eggert felt it may be a good place for PRO. 27 FEB 28199 800K 76 TALE 247
