0 • <br />Chairman Tippin opened the meeting to the public for comments. <br />Doug Bournique, representing the Indian River Citrus Growers, believed that <br />Objective No. 6 is very restrictive. Their cash crop is citrus and if some disaster strikes, such <br />as canker, the medfly or some type of disease, the grower has no other cash crop which could <br />be grown on this land on those particular soils. The grower must be left with the ability to <br />claim value in his property in order to go to an institution and borrow money. He hoped that <br />the growers would be allowed some input regarding this objective. <br />Glenn Legwen commented regarding Objective 18 which states that between 1/1/98 <br />and 1/1/2010, 10% of new residential development will be located in TND projects: <br />Comprehensive Plan CLERK TO THE BOARD Future Land Use Element <br />Between January 1,1998 and January 1, 2010, ten percent of new residential development <br />(dwelling units) occurring in unincorporated Indian River County will be located in <br />Traditional Neighborhood Design projects. <br />Mr. Legwen wanted to know whether there were any measures included to make <br />certain development stayed within the 10% figure. <br />He then commented regarding Policy 18.1: <br />Policy 18.1: By January 1999, the county shall adopt land development regulations that establish the <br />TND, Traditional Neighborhood Design zoning district. The TND district shall be limited to <br />planned developments. To qualify as a TND development, projects must meet the following criteria: <br />Policy 18. 1, Item 4 says "...no block face dimension should exceed 400 feet." He <br />presumed that 400 feet referred to length and wanted to know whether it applied to walls. <br />Item 5 says "... shall contain .... pathways." He requested a definition of pathways and <br />whether the definition refers to dirt or decorative pathways. Item 6 says "...pedestrian and <br />automobile needs ... discourage high automobile speeds...". Does that refer to speed bumps <br />or curves? Also "... accommodate transit systems...", does that refer to a big city transit <br />system which we do not have in Indian River County unless it refers to the community <br />FEBRUARY 24, 1998 <br />L <br />
