heard in regard to the Land Use Element and closed the public hearing on that portion. Commissioner Scurlock noted that he seemed to feel comfort- able .with 1 unit per 5 acres and then going with the node concept presented by Mr. McQueen. He felt the specific language has to be developed and the Planners will have to come up with that, but he suggested a Motion to go along with the node concept presented on the charts submitted by Darrell McQueen. i.e, having 1 upa in the designated 2 and 3 mile radii shown and then 5 upa outside of those nodal areas. Director Keating objected. He stressed that will be considered Urban Sprawl. He emphasized that if the Board must include this, it must be very specific about the projection. If the Board does this, he believed there is no question that we will be found not in compliance. Commissioner Bird felt this all goes back to the unique geography of Indian River County with the 10 mile ridge and the high and dry property out there. That will develop in the next 10 years, and he stressed that is where the development is occurring from here to Jacksonville and from here south. More discussion followed about the land around the 1-95 corridor, and Director Keating commented that if you are saying some of the land in our Urban Sprawl area isn't going to develop, that it is going to stay AG, we should identify it that way - whatever is valid from that regard. Then he felt if the Board is going to deal with the area around I-95/SR60 and at 1-95/512, you draw the line tight. You don't allow Urban Sprawl at 1 upa-to go for a 3 mile radius. Commissioner Bird continued to stress that if we are looking 20 years in the future, we need to recognize there is going to be some low density residential combined with some commercial and industrial development along the 1-95 corridor. 90 BOOK !F=. 9 I'A.'JE 19 7 The Chairman determined that no one further wished to be heard in regard to the Land Use Element and closed the public hearing on that portion.
