Attorney Stewart explained Dr. and Mrs. Minotty did not purchase the property from ACTS. There had been interim owners. Chairman Bird saw a need for a medical center in that area because of all the elderly people in the mobile home parks and retirement communities, but could not see hanging on to this, zoning with the thought that this may happen. On the other hand] if we take it away now, it cannot requalify as a neighborhood commercial node because it did not qualify in the first place. The choice seems to be to leave it in place or rezone it to multiple amily. Commissioner Scurlock commented that there is space im every existing commercial node. Commissioner Eggert recalled the original plan was to give people an opportunity to walk to little shops. Attorney Stewart agreed the original site plan was', for a typical strip center. He understood the Commission's concern about the proliferation of these nodes. Dr. Minotty is asking that if the Board terminates this node as commercial, in the event he comes back with a request to develop a professional office center, he would like the staff and the Board to give it consideration. Director Keating explained the options are to terminate the zoning or to extend it for six months. If nothing happens in six months, then termination would proceed. Commissioner Eggert clarified, and Director Keating agreed, nothing has happened for two years and this is a request; for a rezoning public hearing. Scott Meyers, 781 Doctor Avenue, Sebastian, representing Brian Williams, the Administrator of Indian River Estates, requested the Board leave the zoning as it is, neighborhood commercial. He said Indian River Estates opposes rezoning this parcel to multiple family residential. It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED byl Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously', terminated the neighborhood node designation and directed staff to initiate rezoning of the subject property to its original zoning of RM -8, Multiple - Family Residential.
