per acre as the highest density. Commissioner Eggert stressed that planning ahead is enormously important to all of us, and she asked that everyone be aware of and attend future Comp Plan amendment meetings so that development can continue at a rate where everyone can be happy. Commissioner Tippin felt that urban blight to the south of us has been the greatest teacher we have ever had. An awful lot of planning has been going on for an awful long time. He felt that a lot of people here should be asked to stand up and take a bow, noting that we restricted this county to a 30 -ft. height. Commissioner Tippin felt the good parts outweigh the bad points and that not everyone can be happy about some things. Executive Aide Alice White advised that the County Commission office received 52 letters against and 1 letter for the rezoning requested by Mr. & Mrs. Edgar Schlitt. Commissioner Bird emphasized that we cannot base our votes on what is popular out there. We cannot deny a rezoning request if it meets all the criteria of the Comp Plan, etc. In addition, he was not sure that we built Indian River Boulevard totally as a by-pass. We also built it with the intent that it would develop as a corridor of multi -family residential. Commissioner Adams could not see a valid reason to deny the rezoning request. However, she felt we need to address the difficulty people are having in trying to get across U.S. 01 from Vista Gardens. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously (4-0, Chairman Macht being absent) adopted Ordinance 95- 05, amending the Zoning Ordinance and the accompanying Zoning Map from RS -1 to RM -10 for the property located on the east side of Indian River Boulevard near 8th Street.
