She was <br />willing to go to RM -6, but not to RM -8, and she was willing to change RS -6 to RM -6. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in <br />this matter. <br />Michael O'Haire, attorney on Cardinal Drive, 575 A 1 A, advised he was representing <br />the Bobo Family who homesteaded the property at the turn of the last century. He specified <br />that there is already compatibility to the east of the property as it is already zoned RM -8. <br />The property was farmed land. This will be developed into senior citizens' living and will <br />be compatible with the surrounding area. He concluded the new zoning would not disrupt <br />anyone s life style. <br />Commissioner Adams asked if the project could be done with RM -6, and Mr. <br />O'Haire thought a project had been designed and approved with the 8 -unit per acre density, <br />but referred the question to Director Keating. <br />Director Keating advised this has been approved by the Technical Review Committee <br />and is predicated upon needing 8 units per acre. <br />Commissioner Ginn stressed it was a big leap from RM -6 to RM -8. <br />Director Keating explained that when the area was originally zoned, Indian River <br />Boulevard was not there. This now and is currently a 4 -lane divided road and will be 6 - <br />lanes in the future. State Road 60 and USW 1 are the appropriate areas where there would be <br />multi -family residential with increased densities. <br />Chairman Stanbridge recalled that Indian River Blvd. split the Bobo's property and <br />they had farmed their entire property. <br />Attorney Bruce Barkett, 756 Beachland Blvd., advised he represented the developer, <br />George Poydenis of Diamond Court Development. He referred to a letter from D. Victor <br />September 3, 2002 <br />83 <br />• <br />
