ingress/egress out of Vista Royale on to U.S. #1 because that is a problem that needs attention. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, that the Board approve the special exception with the conditions added by the Planning & Zoning Commission and listed in staff's recommendation. Under discussion, Commissioner Adams wanted the Motion to include that the conservation easement be granted ahead of time. She also expressed concern about approving these affordable housing developments if we are going to see the property assessments challenged. She wished to see affordable housing for our young people, too. Commissioner Adams suggested that after this Motion is out of the way, the Board set some policy decision on what is coming down the road with regard to affordable housing developments. COMMISSIONER TIPPIN SAID HE WOULD BE GLAD TO ADD THE REQUIREMENT OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO HIS MOTION AND ALSO A 6 -FT. OPAQUE BUFFER ON THE SOUTH BOUNDARY OF THE PROJECT. Commissioner Ginn stated she could not support the Motion for several reasons: traffic, safety, compatibility, etc. Chairman Eggert supported the Motion but would like to see a greater buffer along the western side (Indian River Boulevard). Commissioner Macht supported the Motion because if it fails to pass, the developer has a right to come back in with a regular site plan which might include improvements with greater impact. COMMISSIONER TIPPIN RESTATED HIS MOTION FOR APPROVAL WITH THE ADDED CONDITIONS: 1) Require a Conservation Easement; 2) Remove the choice of wooden fencing; 3) Require a 6 -ft. opaque buffer along the western boundary of the project as well as on the southern boundary. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion passed 4-1, Commissioner Ginn dissenting. W1 JANUARY 289 1997 WX IU J
