Chairman Eggert advised Frank Zorc that the Board would be <br />happy to give him five minutes to present his position regarding <br />the placement of the Courthouse on the site. <br />Frank Zorc, 35 -year resident/taxpayer of Indian River County, <br />stated he was here today because of the Board's recent <br />authorization to acquire a missing link of property on the corner <br />of 20th Street and 17th Avenue and because of the recent twist that <br />the City of Vero Beach may reverse its position in not granting an <br />abandonment. With the acquisition of the out parcel, there is now <br />a totally new site which is rectangular and intact, not L-shaped <br />and in two parcels. He noted that James Musgrove, a director of <br />the architectural firm that submitted the major concept and the <br />site plan for the new Courthouse, acknowledged in a very recent <br />letter to the Board that the ultimate outcome of the plan that was <br />presented and approved was dictated by the fact that 16th Avenue <br />could not be closed. Mr. Musgrove went on to state that if this <br />option was actually available, it would present an opportunity to <br />restudy the design. This option appears open to the Commission <br />now. Mr. Musgrove further stated that closing of the street would <br />be an improvement to the current scheme. <br />Mr. Zorc realized that there would be added costs to changing <br />the placement of the Courthouse, and although he fights added costs <br />every chance he gets, he stressed that it would take approximately <br />less than one-half of one percent in added costs to improve the <br />appearance of this beautiful building by facing it toward SR -60 <br />where its beauty can be seen at the most. He has heard some people <br />say that the back of this building is just as pretty as the front. <br />If that is true, he would suggest doing away with the gingerbread <br />on the front because it is just a waste of taxpayers' dollars. He <br />highly recommended that the Courthouse be placed on the site as <br />shown in the following plan: <br />FmwY1T u. 0992 <br />THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT: <br />S Ts.
