I <br />for treating property that is trapped in an agricultural situation where agriculture is no longer <br />viable. He distributed a handout to the Commissioners. (COPY OF THE HANDOUT IS <br />ON FILE WITH THE BACKUP FOR THE MEETING IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br />TO THE BOARD.) <br />Mr. O'Haire's handout of three pages consisted of copies of pages 911/2 and 911/9 <br />of the Indian River County Zoning Code and suggestions for a "transition zone" for the <br />Board to consider. He pointed out that staff's recommendations only addressed the water <br />and sewer elements of infrastructure on 58' Avenue (presently a 4 -lane roadway in front of <br />Mr. Clontz's parcel). Water and sewer are available at the edge of Mr. Clontz's property. <br />The only missing elements of infrastructure are police, fire, and emergency protection. He <br />doubted staff s contention that inclusion of this property in the urban service area would <br />overtax those services supplied by the taxpayers. He was certain that if police, fire, and <br />emergency services could cover the east side of 58' Avenue, they could do it just as readily <br />on the west side. <br />Mr. O'Haire commented that the initial application for 8 units per acre for this <br />property was to give himself plenty of room to negotiate with staff. He then discussed his <br />suggestions for a "transition zone" as follows, all of which apply to Mr. Clontz's property <br />and a few others which are similar. <br />RS -1 or RFD (existing districts, rural single family, rural fringe development) 1 unit per acre w/ <br />PD bonus of 3 units. <br />• Property must abut Urban Service Area <br />• Property must abut Commercial/Industrial Node <br />• Property must front on arterial road <br />• Utilities - water and sewer - must be available at the property boundary <br />• Minimum acreage - 20 <br />October 9, 2000 <br />MEEMEMMIN <br />14 <br />
