� � r Martin Wall, Chairman of the Housing Authority, noted that this is merely a pro forma approval from the Board of County Commissioners for the Housing Authority to purchase and begin construction of its next Farm Labor project on 38th Ave. and South Gifford Road. He informed the Board that the site already has been approved by the Housing Authority and the FHA, Chairman Wheeler stated that the only thing that concerns him is that the site approval is independent of zoning and other regulatory approval, and he asked if that means they do not have to go through site plan approval. Commissioner Eggert noted that they did with Victory Park, and Mr. Wall advised that the statute that was enacted requires the County Commission to approve any project the Housing Author- ity undertakes before its commencement. They still have to go through site plan approval; this is an additional step. He further stressed that the site does have proper zoning for their project, and various agencies have agreed it is a desirable site for funding purposes. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Isaac Hunter, 4121 38th Ave., informed the Board that he built and moved in his house there in 1975, and he was interested in how they would go about building and developing this project because they have him surrounded. In discussion it was noted that the Housing Authority is to the east and the north of Mr. Hunter, and it will be near him but not right up against his property. Executive Director Guy Decker wished to assure Mr. Hunter that he would be welcome at any time to look at their Victory Park project, and he could assure Mr. Hunter that their proposed project will do nothing but increase the value of his property. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard, and the Chairman thereupon closed the public hearing. 5 j98,9 35 ROD 77 �;�Gc. ��
