Commissioner Macht suggested changing the LDRs to prohibit <br />conversion of existing developments. <br />Joe auffanti, 441 Holly Road, spoke in opposition to all time <br />share projects, including the Disney proposal. He moved here <br />because this was a laid-back town and suggested that anyone who <br />would have it otherwise should visit Atlantic City or Nags Head or <br />even Melbourne to see what overdevelopment has done. He asked, and <br />Director Bird confirmed, that the public will have other <br />opportunities to speak in opposition to the recent changes in the <br />LDRs. <br />Doke Morrison, Coral Park Lane, a director of Coralstone <br />Condominium Association, spoke in favor of Mayor Schoen's <br />suggestion. He did not feel that the Disney project was a failsafe <br />operation. <br />Chairman Bird asked whether any of the remaining parcels could <br />be developed into a time share resort. <br />Planning Director Stan Boling explained that a developer could <br />combine several parcels and then come in with a special exception <br />request for conversion. About 394 acres currently are zoned RM -6, <br />and several additional parcels could be rezoned RM -6. Sea Oaks <br />could not be converted because it does not have 25 acres with <br />direct access to a main thoroughfare. It might be possible to <br />convert a portion of Coralstone, but that would be difficult <br />because of lack of direct access to a thoroughfare. <br />Director Boling commented that although Disney has indicated <br />they do not intend to expand, it would be possible for them to come <br />before the Board in the future with a request for special exception <br />approval to expand into adjacent property. <br />Commissioner Macht felt that except for a parcel adjacent to <br />the northern boundary of the Town of Indian River Shores controlled <br />by Robert Cairns, residential resort development would be <br />difficult. Even so, he recommended amending the LDRs to establish <br />a required ratio between commercial and RM -6 development and <br />prohibit existing developments from converting to residential <br />resorts. <br />Commissioner Adams mentioned that she was concerned about the <br />impact on Jungle Trail if the Cairns property is developed into a <br />residential resort community. She suggested increasing the minimum <br />acreage and also wanted to make certain we provide for ample <br />conservation of trees and foliage. <br />53 <br />'MAY 111993 BOOK 89 PmF 518 <br />
