PELICAN ISLAND AUDUBON SOCIETY
P. 0. Box 1833
VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32960
December 8, 1971
Yr. -Richard Boeosian, Chairman
Board of Conmissioners
Indian River County
Dear Mr. Bogosian:
I requested this opportunity to address the Board of Connissioners
in reference to the action you took, with our agreement. iwo weeks ago
concerning a request for rezoning along State'Route 60. Since that time
I have been told that our compromise in effect killed the Comprehensive
Flan for Route 60, and that now it will be impossible for the Zoning Board
to turn down future requests for mobile horse parks and commercial store
sites. .If indeed this is the result of the zoning •change woa'ked out two
weeks ago, then we. regret very nuch compromising our previously stated
stand on this issue. I have also been informed that Lr.. 4roth and hr.
'4ocelle had a•great laugh at the expense of the Audubon Society, your board,
and. the people of Indians River County, since they never did intend to build
their modular home subdivision, but were using it* onlyto get their rsobile
home park and conercial rezoning. Whether or rot that is true. it is now
history. Today I should like to reaffirm the support of Pelican Island
Audubon Society for the comprehensive plan for Route 60 as prepared by
the City -County Planning Commission, and endorsed by the 'oning Boards of
both the city and the county, and by most of you commissioners. And I rust
remind you that this comprehensive plan has been endorsed formally by. in
addition to the 600 member Audubon society, the 1900 menber ►'ero Beach
DEC - 8 7971
Association, the 200 member +range, and approyJmately 100 member Vero
Beach and Gifford Jaycees. There is a broad base of support for thin
cluster type development concept in the county. -
On the basis of all this support for the route 60 plan, and in an
effort to provide adequate. support and encouragenent to the ooning Board
to hold firmly to this plan and its concerts, and to discourage this
notion that the rezoning resolution voted by your board two weeks ago has
opened wide the doors to con*ercial and nubile hone park development
along -route 60, I now request a forr:al resolution from the Board of County
Co-missioners publicly affirming your acceptance of this comprehensive plan
for =route 60 and directing the Zoning Board to begin'irmediately the job
of reclassification of zoning of all lands along Route 60 to bring them
into conformity with this comprehensive plan.
Thank you for this oppertunity to
clarify this question and I urge you to take this action today.

County Commission
Indian River County
Vero Beach, Florida 32960
Gentlemen:
This is a formal request for an investigation into the heavy truck traffic problem that has de-
veloped on Forty -Third Avenue. When I-95 opened to Route 60, the problem began, and it has
become steadily worse until we feel the safety of our children is in jeopardy.
The road department has a truck route west of Vero Beach, but it took a very short time for
the word to spread that the quickest route to the turnpike was route 60 to the first light at
Forty -Third Avenue; turn right to Indrio Road, and then a short distance to the turnpike feeder,
with only one stop sign on Forty -Third Avenue. This way they don't have to go to U. S. 1, and
then backtrack to the turnpike feeder road.
There is a steady stream of large semi -trailer trucks, buses, auto -transport trucks, etc.
Other than the serious safety hazard on Forty -Third Avenue, we know our new road was not
built to handle these monstrous vehicles. We hate to see it destroyed before something is done.
The area affected on Forty -Third Avenue is zoned residential. Many homes front directly on
this road and there are many more in subdivisions that have their entrance on Forty -Third
Avenue. Two schools in the area; Rosewood and Citrus; have students walking to school along
Forty -Third Avenue. The junior High and High School students also walk or ride bicycles to
their bus stops on this road There are no sidewalks or bicycle paths for these children to use
and they must walk or ride on the road. The appearance of the road is quite deceptive to any
driver not familiar with the area. The planting bides most of the homes and a driver could
easily believe he was in a rural area rather than a fairly dense residential area. This probably
accounts for the trucks speeding past our homes.
The obvious answer to the problem is the extension of I-95 to the turnpike. Until last Sunday,
we held some hope this would be done. Since this has been denied, we feel it imperative that '
another solution be forthcoming immediately before a child's life is lost.
We have made our concern known to those in authority as indicated by the story in the Miami
Herald, December 7, 1971, entitled, "neuter Predicts I-95 Stall Problem Probe." We as resi-
dents of Vero Beach realize that this is not just our problcrn. There are other arteries in our
town suffering from the enormous traffic load. Twenty-seventh Avenue and Route 60 through
town are two severely affected. It has also become a state wide problem as indicated by the
Miami Herald, December 7th editorial titled "The Incredible Missing Link."
We know the ultimate solution will take timre
e to resolve. Therefor we earnestly petition you
to find an immediate solution to the heavy through truck traffic on Forty -Third Avenue before
we must be moved by a tragedy to act.
Our sincerest thanks for your cooperation.
