r M � Last week, Jack MacLean, president of the Moorings Property Owners Association, requested that staff ask the Board to separate the two hearings and -hold them on different dates. Mr. MacLean 's position is that both hearings, together, may take as long as six hours, and he feels that such a long time would adversely affect both parties. His suggestion is to have the hearings at separate meetings, where each appeal could take up to three hours. He feels -that, with separate hearings, each appeal would get more detailed consideration. At Mr. MacLean's request, staff contacted Halvorsen Development, Inc., the site plan applicant and other party involved in the appeals. It is Halvorsen's position that the appeals should not be separated, but instead be heard at the July 12, 1994 meeting. Based upon Planning and Zoning Commission meetings on these issues, staff expects 150 to 300 people to attend the Board meeting or meetings on the appeals. If the appeals are heard at the same meeting, staff expects the two hearings to last between four and six hours. Deputy County Attorney William G. Collins II advised that because the developer filed an application for appeal, the hearing must be heard in a timely manner. If not, the developer could be denied due process and there could be liability. The appeals should be held at the same time for legal and practical reasons. By law, the County must hold a public hearing within 30 days of the submission of a zoning appeal. It was the consensus of the Board to make no changes in the scheduling of the appeals; both appeals will be heard on July 12, 1994 at 9:00 a.m. in the Vero Beach High School auditorium.
