APR 08 M2 BOOK 86 PACE 17 Attorney O'Haire emphasized that the use is hedged with safeguards to provide exactly what the CL District was designed to provide and that is convenience for a geographical area or neighborhood. This is not the sort of thing that people are going to come from the beach to use; it is the sort of thing that people living in the area are going to use. He urged the Board to allow this use in CL under the special exception requirements that he feels would make it virtually impossible for it to be used for anything other than the storing of personal and household items. Chairman Eggert asked how it would be policed, and Attorney O'Haire advised that it would be policed through the code enforcement process. Commissioner Wheeler felt it certainly would be to the owner's advantage to police it also. Karl Hedin explained that they have both types of these facilities. He has an office/warehouse complex within the City of Vero Beach where he allows trades people and it has turned into a mini -industrial park. His brother Keith does not allow any commercial in his facility on Vickers Road and U.S. #1, and they are proposing exactly the same use for the SR -60 location. It would be strictly for personal or domestic storage. No trades would be allowed. The units would be air conditioned, but there would not be any electrical outlets. Chairman Eggert's struggle over this matter was with her concept of CL and the fact she never viewed storage of any kind as being light commercial. She agreed it is a convenience to the neighborhood and that there is not a lot of traffic at any given time. Commissioner Bird felt it was a matter of writing up the ordinance and having the proper enforcement. To him there was a tremendous amount of difference between a commercial type of storage facility and a personal or residential type self -storage 16 M
