• • Commissioner Ginn thought there was a place for mixed use but thought this was inappropriate and believed there was too little recreational facilities. She also felt the impact of this plan would be too great for the area. She_thought all that has been accomplished by the PD designation is to allow increased densities. She was still opposed to the inclusion of stormwater lakes in open space and felt it was improper.

Vice Chairman Adams had seen the Suntree development in Brevard County and assured Chairman Macht it was nothing like Viera. She knows the Suntree group does quality work.
