He noted that the Board has competent staff and <br />believed if the Board provided proper guidelines, these problems would not occur. <br />Peter Robinson, 315 Bridgeway Road, believed that part of problem is that the Board <br />is looking at the tree and not seeing the forest. He believed the current land use plan <br />encourages high density and people do not want high density. He felt that there is a chance <br />now for the County to set its own local regulations and come out with a land use plan that <br />more accurately reflects what people want. <br />Peter Jones, 1924 5' Avenue SE, a local architect and President of the American <br />Institute of Architects local chapter, noted that local architects look to the policies established <br />for their guidelines. He believed the mechanics of the process work but the master plan <br />needs a more measurable policy. <br />Deb Robinson, Vice President Laurel Homes, asked the Board to please consider the <br />cost -to -benefit ratio and to remember who is paying those dollars. She inquired whether <br />grocers and dress shops will also be required to furnish more open space if developers are <br />required to do so. She asked that the Board remember that someone pays for each decision <br />they make. <br />Bob Swift, 6450 Glendale Road, Manager of the Indian River Club, felt that the <br />process may not be perfect but it works fairly well. He felt the biggest problem was that <br />developers must have some assurance that their investment will pay off and their plan will <br />be approved if they follow all of the regulations and requirements. <br />0 OCTOBER 14,1999 -10- <br />
