PIP - <br />that same classification in Indian River County. That is why <br />they requested the 1/21 along their entire riverfront to be <br />consistent and also, so you would not have to travel through land <br />that is now 1/5 and 1/40 in order to reach land in Brevard County <br />that is 1/21 and 1/1. He noted that if you look across the <br />river, you will see staff is now recommending 1/1. <br />Chairman Eggert pointed out that it is 1/1 except where <br />there is scrub, and Attorney Watts noted that there is a very <br />narrow band of unincorporated territory along Roseland Road and <br />then you get into the City of S.ebastian. South of CR 512 in Vero <br />Lake Estates you have 3/1, and in the area near the interstate, <br />you have a Commercial and Industrial classification.

The draft plan in 1989 <br />talked about a Conservation area and a density of 1/1, and that <br />is the way the Board transmitted it to DCA. In October of 1989, <br />the CARL Committee prepared their design for the proposed <br />Sebastian Creek Project, which they noted was designed primarily <br />as a manatee protection effort. In that project design, under <br />the heading of Land Use development trends, they pointed out that <br />the Indian River Comp Plan has designated that a Conservation <br />area at 1 unit per acre. Then under agency review, St. John's <br />River Water Management District made their comment that 1 upa was <br />not adequate to protect the wetlands; the ORC Report picked up on <br />that and recommended the reduction to 1/40 and recommended this <br />for all Conservation land in the county; and the Board adopted <br />that. <br />Commissioner Scurlock agreed but noted it was adopted with <br />an objection. <br />Attorney Watts contended that through a misreading, the <br />xeric scrub community got included in that density designation, <br />84 <br />
