Commissioner Eggert inquired whether a requirement could be added to plant more trees, and Director Keating replied that when the redesignation and rezoning comes up, the applicant will have to file a site plan for approval. Tom Hammond, of 4111 Shoreland Drive, stated that he is surrounded by M-8 zoning and the fact that his property is not zoned M-8 was an oversight by the planners. He would like to see the whole area zoned M-8 with buffers. The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED for discussion by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board accept the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission with the understanding that a 50 foot landscape buffer be included on the north perimeter of the property. County Attorney Vitunac advised that the zoning cannot be conditional, and Commissioner Tippin rephrased his MOTION to accept the recommendation. Commissioner Eggert withdrew her SECOND to the MOTION. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board adopt Resolution 96-141 (Hammond) approving the transmittal of a proposed amendment to the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan to the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs for its review. Director Keating commented that there are similar situations in other parts of the County where a 50 foot setback or 25 foot vegetated buffer would be sufficient. This situation is similar to others where the Board would not have an opportunity to examine the project unless the LDR's are changed so that similar situations are all treated the same way. Commissioner Macht felt this would be a rather abrupt change to the Comp Plan for which he could see no reason. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion passed by a 4-1 vote, Commissioner Macht opposed. NOVEMBER 12, 1996 63 ®ooK 99 F►,cE 728
