s � � Attorney Robin Lloyd informed the Board that particular property is the Indian River Industrial Park, Inc., property; they have a survey and it is 20+ acres. His contention is that the planners were not totally familiar with this piece of prop- erty, which, as recently as 4/5 months ago, was Light Industrial, and they were going for a site plan to put a factory in there. He stressed that this property is in a very badly blighted area; it is right across the street from bars that are in terrible disrepair; and there is nothing about this property that is residential. Attorney Lloyd pointed out that the Plan states that we want to have reasonable economic development, and if you are going to have it anywhere, you want it right next to the railroad tracks. He did believe the Planners made a mistake because this is basically an industrial area, and there is an industrial corridor all along 41st Street between U.S.I to 58th. Commissioner Scurlock noted that his observation from driving that area and looking at the maps is that what Attorney Lloyd is suggesting is the logical transition, and he is not sure what exactly did or did not happen in the Planners' minds. Planner Loeper explained that when developing the overall Land Use Map, we were dealing with a lot of generalities, and in specific areas such as this, staff did not have the luxury of having the time to go out and look at every individual parcel and make the determination on that basis. . Commissioner Scurlock asked if the Board has enough latitude to accept the request of Mr. Lloyd, and Attorney Vitunac felt that the Board has heard the presentation; they can make the decision to declare it was a mistake and make their ruling. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed with Chairman Eggert that there is a transition and that the subject property should be IL, the way it was before. 49 BOOK f'�1�r 83S,
