,""'w Chairman Zimmerman observed this application would look far better to <br /> the PZC if CR #510 was a four-lane road and if the intersection at U.S. #1 was <br /> complete. <br /> Mr. Ken Brennan thought it was important to think outside the box and felt <br /> it was time to do innovative things in the area. <br /> Mr. Michael Abt, 6780 85th Street, stated his property was directly to the <br /> west of the subject site. He noted about ten years ago the County had denied <br /> his request to rezone his property to commercial and told him he would better off <br /> annexing to the City of Sebastian and asking them. He asserted if tonight's <br /> request got approved he would start an application to put a commercial strip mall <br /> on his property because the node would only be going across the street. Mr. Abt <br /> related he was told by County staff ten years ago there would never be <br /> commercial property in that area and he had sold right-of-way to the County at <br /> agricultural land prices. He emphasized had he thought there was any chance of <br /> it being changed to commercial zoning he would never have sold the parcel <br /> because it would be much more valuable than what he sold it for. <br /> Ms. Taffy Abt, 6780 85th Street, indicated she would not be totally opposed <br /> to what the applicant was proposing but would want to know more about it. She <br /> observed there was good potential for such a proposal, adding she and her <br /> husband owned 35 acres across the street and would be interested in looking at <br /> new opportunities. <br /> Ms. Tammy Vogel, 7375 85th Street, asked how much frontage on CR <br /> #510 was commercially zoned west of the Liberty Park project because she had <br /> property fronting CR #510 and wanted to know how much commercial would be <br /> allowed in the area. <br /> Mr. Boling estimated there was approximately 1,000 feet of commercially <br /> zoned property on CR #510 and was mostly concentrated up in the northeast <br /> corner of the proposed Liberty Park project, well to the east of her property. <br /> Discussion followed. <br /> Mr. Andrew Kennedy, 2050 U.S. Highway #1, advised the Liberty Park <br /> project was approved in 2008 and had a sunset provision until 2025, and it was <br /> presently in the monitoring mode. <br /> Mr. Mike Garofolo, 5550 42nd Terrace, said he was in favor of the proposal. <br /> PZC/Approved 6 October 25,2012 <br /> F:\BCC\AII Committees\P&Z\2012—AGENDAS & MINUTES\P&Z-10-25-12.doc <br /> 32 <br />
