I <br />CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONFOR BCC MEETING <br />OF FEBRUARY 7, 1995 <br />TO: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE <br />obert M. Reati , A <br />THROUGH: Sasan Rohani, AICP •�� <br />Chief, Long -Range Planning <br />FROM: John WachtelfV% <br />Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning <br />DATE: January 11, 1995 <br />RE: Consideration of an Alternative Location for the February <br />7, 1995 Board of County Commissioners Meeting <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular <br />meeting of January 17, 1995. <br />This is a request that the Board consider an alternative site for <br />the February 7, 1995 Board meeting. <br />A rezoning request that is scheduled to be considered by the Board <br />on February 7, 1995 has generated some controversy. That request, <br />by Edgar Schlitt, involves rezoning approximately 27 acres from RS - <br />1 to- RM -10. The subject property is located on the east side of <br />Indian River Boulevard, north of and adjacent to the Vista Royale <br />Gardens Condominiums. When the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />considered this request on December 8, 1994, the chambers were <br />filled to near capacity. At that time, citizens indicated that <br />even more people might attend the Board hearing. <br />Because there is increased potential for overcrowding of the <br />commission chambers, staff has investigated the possibility of <br />holding the February 7, 1995 Board meeting at an alternate <br />location. The only other nearby auditorium that has greater <br />capacity than the commission chambers and is available on that date <br />is in the Vero Beach Community Center. <br />With seating capacity for 230 persons, the Community Center can <br />accommodate a larger crowd than the 118 seats available at the <br />commission chambers. The rental fee for use of the Community <br />Center is $15.00/hour for a minimum of three hours. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board direct staff regarding the location <br />of the February 7, 1995 Board meeting. <br />After discussing the need for moving the BCC meeting of <br />February 7 to another location to accommodate the large attendance <br />expected, the Board agreed the 1st Floor Conference Room would be <br />sufficient to hold the overflow from Chambers. <br />30 <br />January 17, 1995 moK 94 P.AcA,20 <br />
