Mr. Ntackall understood that before a zoning change can be <br />made, there must be a legal basis for it, such as an unusual <br />hardship unique to the property in question. <br />Attorney Vitunac explained that this is not a zoning change. <br />This is a special exception process and the government gives <br />slightly more units (more density) and in return gets certain <br />amenities, such as buffering, that they could not get under the <br />existing zoning. <br />Mark Griffith, Sun Bank of the Treasure Coast residential <br />mortgages, stated that these homes have been very highly <br />recommended. He commented that some of the larger developments on <br />the barrier island have similar patio type homes within their <br />perimeters. He looked forward to the prosperity and growth that <br />Beazer Homes would bring to Indian River County. <br />Michael Ford, local realtor, noted that during the 6 months he <br />has been associated with Beazer Homes he has found them to be <br />honorable citizens who are concerned how they will be received in <br />the community. He found them always to have kept their word, which <br />is refreshing. From a marketing standpoint, he felt the community <br />they are proposing addresses the changing residential market and <br />would be very well received. <br />Cindy Silverstein with Stewart Title Company of Indian River <br />County also felt that these homes would be a definite asset to this <br />community. <br />Rita Curry, 1080 Windsong Lane, commented that what she has <br />learned about Beazer Homes is good. <br />Rhett Palmer, 4205 61st Avenue, voiced his support of Beazer <br />Homes. <br />There being no others who wished to be heard, Chairman Adams <br />closed the Public Hearing. <br />Commissioner Bird asked Director Boling if, after hearing all <br />the testimony here this morning, he felt that staff has those <br />conditions and comments covered in the 10 conditions. <br />Director Boling recited what he felt has been added, starting <br />from the conditions set out in staff's recommendation in the <br />backup: <br />The 25 -ft. setback for houses is on the site plan by <br />ordinance, and he doesn't believe it needs to be part of the <br />conditions. <br />69 BOOK FADE �9� <br />FEBRUARY 20, 1996 <br />
