JAR 14 1912i <br />BOOK C�i� PAGE <br />(Continuing with the public hearing) <br />William Ford, 8515 Waco Way, came before the Board in response <br />to Commissioner Bowman's question. He said they manufacture <br />electrical wire. They process copper wire, drawn to various sizes <br />which is then insulated and packaged to ship to electrical <br />distributors. He described it as a very clean, quiet, light <br />industrial operation, and everything is self-contained within the <br />building. They have about 15 employees with plans of increasing to <br />40 or 50 ultimately. It is not retail so there would not be a lot <br />of traffic. <br />Community Development Director Keating cautioned the Board <br />that when looking at a rezoning, we do not consider the particular <br />use that is approved right now because two years down the road it <br />may be changed. Staff has determined that generally all IL uses <br />would be appropriate for this site and that includes the current <br />applicant. <br />Eric Pollard, 6153 98th place, came before the Board <br />representing Breezy Village Home Owners Association and spoke in <br />favor of the rezoning. He said they are satisfied the proposed <br />operation will not be a deterrent nor detrimental to Breezy Village <br />homeowners. Mr. Pollard was glad to hear the discussion regarding <br />the left turn lane at U.S. 1 and 99th Street, but was discouraged <br />that the project was 51st on the Public Works Department's design <br />list. He felt Breezy Village Homeowners' Association, Indian River <br />County, the transportation committee and industry must join in a <br />comprehensive team effort to put the left turn project on a higher <br />priority on the State's Road Project Program. <br />Commissioner Wheeler thought it was refreshing to hear from a <br />supporter of the project. The Commission is always interested in <br />hearing both sides and he said it was nice of Mr. Pollard to take <br />the time to speak to the Board. <br />Bruce.Bunnell, 9715 61st Parkway in Breezy Village, Sebastian, <br />came before the Board to speak in favor of the rezoning but <br />disagreed with Mr. Ford that the operation is quiet. He said he <br />had worked in a wire mill for over 36 years and suggested the <br />County should place some noise restrictions in the plan approval. <br />He was glad the County is moving along with the left turn lane. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the <br />Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />36 <br />M <br />
