household, there would be a total of 100 people living on the same <br />five acres. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the funding for this project and <br />Mr. Moench stated that the application has been sent to Farmers <br />Home but they would take no further action until the zoning is <br />decided. <br />Commissioner Scurlock led discussion regarding the neighboring <br />properties. <br />Director Keating indicated there is single-family residential <br />to the north and multi -family residential to the east. <br />Joe N. Idlette III, 4265 45th Lane, came before the Board to <br />oppose the change from RS -6 to RM -10. He lives right next to the <br />subject property and .enumerated the various residential <br />developments in the surrounding areas. He pointed out that this is <br />a busy corner with a lot of traffic which could be dangerous for <br />elderly people. He gave the example of his grandmother who tended <br />to stray away from home. <br />Janice Claire, 4043 46th, Treasure Coast Village, stated she <br />is against this request to rezone. <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard <br />and thereupon closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Scurlock supported staff's recommendation of <br />RM -8, although he would have preferred a planned development <br />package. <br />Commissioner Wheeler thought that whether it is RM -8 or RM -10, <br />it is encroachment on the single-family neighborhood. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented, and Director Keating <br />confirmed that the property is a very difficult piece of property <br />to develop because that intersection is quite busy. It is not <br />suitable for single-family residences because the depth is only 300 <br />feet, and the other option would be commercial which is not <br />desirable. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, to change the zoning from <br />RS -6 to RM -8. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bowman did not oppose multi- <br />family on this property and felt there was no difference between 8 <br />units and 10 units so far as buffering is concerned. She hoped <br />they do not destroy the trees because we need trees. <br />Chairman Eggert could not understand staff's recommendation <br />�R <br />APR 2 8 1992 <br />L_ <br />
