HomeMy WebLinkAboutP & Z 1970/72267 Mr. Morrison and Mr. and Mrs. Cole present at the hearing. Mr. Cole stated the requested R-3 zoning is desired because he wants to locate a nursing home on the property. Wants to have 4 units now, and 8 more in thefuture. It was later determined "unit" was a-term used for "room". The Home would be for people who can get about, so a nursing staff would not be necessary. If a guest should become ill he would be sent to a hospital. Mr. Cole said he had a similar place in Lakehurst, N.J. Mr. Jennings asked why rezoning Ks requested for such a large tract (13 acres). This question was not answered, but Mr. Cole said he owns the West 150 ft. of the property and the Morrisons own the remainder. To the West there is hammock land and to the East there is grove. Bob Cramer, 1500 Bell AvEnue, said he has lived at thisaddress for 15 - 18 years and he wants to see this remain a single-family community. He stated the Coles bought the property well aware of the RlC zoning. Also, they have actually been operating a nursing home on the premises since they moved in. Mr. Gorham asked Mr. Morrison the reason for wanting the entire 13 acres rezoned, to which Mr. Morrison replied that it was for the simple reason the Coles wanted to build more facilities and could not do it on 150 ft. Mr. Cole commented on Mr. Cramer's boat ya~dsin a derogatory manner, saying a nursing home would not be as objectionable. (Note: Mr. Cramer's business is non-conforming having been at its present location since before zoning). The chairman ordered that this petition be tabled until next meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. A letter was read, from Mrs. Lillian Falk, adjacent property owner, opposing the granting of the Cole-Morrison petition. AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING RESOLUTION - PROPOSED Petition of the Board of County Commissioners for St. Lucie County to amend the Comprehensive zoning Resolution for Said County, as follows: Amend the first paragraph of Subsection 3 of Section 16, ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT: ENFORCING OFFICIAL, to read: "3. Application for Building Permit. All applications f~r building permits shall be accompanied by plans in duplicate, drawn %o scale showing the actual dimensions and shape of the lot to be built upon; the exact sizes and locations on the lot of buildings already existing, if any; and the location and dimensions of the proposed building or alteration. The application shall include such other information as the Enforcing official may lawfully require, including existing and proposed uses of the building and land; the number of families, housekeeping units, or rental units the building is designed to accommodate; conditions existing on the lot; and such other matters as may be necessary to determine conformance with, and provide for the en- foreement of, this Re~olution." After discussion, it was moved by Mr. Gates, seconded by Mr. GOtham that dis- approval of this petition be recommended to the Board of County Commission because the proposed amendment would delete from the Comprehensive zoning Resolution the requirement that a land survey be made prior to the issuance of a construction per~.t; that the Planning and zoning ~Commission feels: the requirement for a land ~survey is most important in heavily populated areas although an amendment to the Resolution might be designed which would modify this requirement~ somewhat when only large amounts of acreage is concerned. Vote was poised, as follows: Ayes Gates, and Gorham. Nayes - Jennings. Abstained - Weatherington. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of the Board of County Commissioners for St. Lucie County to amend the Comprehensive zoning Resolution for said County, as fillows: Amend subsection 3 of Section 22, AMENDMENTS, to read: "3.

Jackson and Jack Gorham. Also present: Albert Thomas, Zoning Director, and Miriam Diem, Secretary. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING PETITION OF HENRY C. COLE AND DAVID G. MORRISON Mr. and Mrs. Cote were present. Mr. Morrison out-of-town on vacation. The Board asked petitioners why so much land is involved in the request. The Coles replied that they have 4 acres, with 150 ft. frontage on Bell Ave. Since a minimum of 200 ft. road frontage is required for a rezoning petition, Mr. Morrison included his property, making a total of 462 ft. on Bell Avenue. Also, in the future, they may want to build on the rear of the property. Mr. Thomas explained the petition originated because the ~Building and zoning Department received a report that a nursing home was being operated by petitioners, although the area was not zoned to permit such activity. Investigation showed the report to be correct and Mr. and Mrs. Cole were informed they were in violation of the Zoning Resolution and that R-3 zoning would be ~equired. A nursing home is first permitted in this classification. Since it is the policy of the zoning department to permit any non-conforming use to continue when a rezoning petition has been filed and rezoning is pending, the Coles have continued in business. Mrs. Cole emphasized that they do not operate a nursing home, but they do operate a home for elderly people who are ambulatory. They do not want to have a nursing home, because the overhead is too high, nurses are required, etc. However, theirpresent operation is under the ~juris~iction of the Restaurant and Hotel CommissiOn. Robert Cramer, adjacent prope:~'ty owner, again opposed the petition. Mr. Del Rosso, owner and administrator of Easter Manor Nursing Home, stated he was not protesting the requested rezoning, as such, but was protesting the Coles operating a nursing home which, he said, they are doing illegally; that they are operating without an occupational license and without license from the local Health Department or the State Health Dep~rtment. Further, that the Coles have, by letter, solicited patientS in Easter Manor and that patients requiring nursing care have been in the~ Cole home. Mr. Jennings pointed out the Planning and Zoning Commission is concerned 6~ly with the zoning of the property. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded by Mr. Gorham that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the petition be denied because to grant would result in spot zoning. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. SIGNS - SOUTH INDIAN RIVER DRIVE The Chairman reported he has copies of letters from the State Department of Transportation, transmitted by the County Administrator, which indicate the DOT does not permit "You Are Now Leaving The City Of ..... "signs on State highways. Therefore, the request of the people of Indian River Drive cannot be complied with. MINUTES The minutes of July 23, 1970 were approved, as mailed. FINAL ACTION REPORT ON PETITIONS FOR REZONING The Secretary was requested to provide a report as to action of the Board of County Commissioners on petitions for rezoning. RECREATI ON AREA - HUTCHINSON ISLAND Mr. Thomas reported Kendall Starrett has expressed interested in the proposal of the P & Z Com. that a public park be created in Sec. 27-36-41 and would like to meet to discuss the matter. Mr. Hogue advised that Bill Tye is much interested, also. Business being concluded, the meeting adjourned.

Ransom Tilton, Realtor, was present representing the prc ~pective purchaser of the property described, who was also present. Mr. ~ilton explained that some time ago this property ws ~ rezoned to A-1 (agriculture) and there were plans to develop it~as a travel t~ ~iler resort. However, Holiday Out feels this type of accommodation has already reachs ! the saturation point in jSt. Lucie County and further development in this area is not feasible. Therefore, the property is for sale and the prospective purchas ~r plans a grQup housing condominium type development of duplex structures. Mr. Tilton presented a drawing of the proposed developm~ ~t and asked Mr. Thomas, Zoning Director, to take up ~the. discussion. Mr. Thomas reported thatthe development plan first presented was not accepatabls as to lot ~ize or roads, but the concept was a group housing plan as is the plan presen~ ~d at this time, except the present plan would be a recorded plat also. For t~ ) or three months the County staff has worked with the developer to come up with ~ plan which would be acceptable to both interests. The plan finally agreed upo~ has lots containing 7500 sq. ft. as opposed to current County requirements for 10,~)0 sq. ft. However, 10,000 sq. ft. was designed to accommodate a well and septic.ta ~k on each lot. With central sewage and water systems less land can be safely ~ ~ilized fOr dwellings. Mr. Thomas stated he has been authorized by the-QQunty f ~ministrat.or to say that the plan has been shown to ~he Board of County ~ommis~ ~oners and they have tentatively agreed to make changes in the Plat Filing Reg~ ~ations to Provide for 7500 sq. ft. lots, 50 ft, r/w for roads with curb, gutter ~ ~d st0~m drainage where central sewage and water plants are installed. Zoning r~ ~ulations would have SeE. 24, 1970 (cont) to be amended accordingly. This group housing plat plan would apply to any subdivider who in.~talls central sewage and water systems. Mr. Thomas suggested that the Board, if it sees fit to do so, act on this ~oup housing plat plan at this time, as it is the responsibility of the P and Z Commission to approve for location, space, ventilation, privacy, etc. Southern Gulf Utilities has an agreement with Holiday Out to supply water and this agreement will go along with the sale of the property. Estimated cost of the project is $2,530,000. The petition was not opposed. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded by Mr. Hogue, that recommendation be made to the Board of County Commissioners to approve the petition, because this will be an upgrading of zoning and the plan for development is acceptable. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. Moved by Mr. Gates, seconded bY Mr. Scott, that the group housing plat plan, designed as "The Beach Club", be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission for adequate light, air, safety, ventilation and privacy. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING to B-4 (general business~ Petition of Lynn Spratling for a change in zoning classification, from B-3 (arterial business) and A-1 (agriculturey, for the following described property: That portion of the following descr~ibed p~oper~y extending from U..S. ~1 Hwy.. to West shore of Lake O'the Woods: Begin at the int. of the Sly line of Lot 4, Lake O'The Woods S/D, as in Deed BOok 172, page 30, public records of St. Lucie County, Florida, and .the~E r/w line of U.

Mr. and Mrs. Spratling present at the haaring. Mr. Spratlin~ statedhe has 18 years experience in car body work. Has purchased the property described where he wants to live and operate a body shop for himself. The Westerly 200 ft. of the property is zoned for business (B~3) but a body shop is not permitted in this classification. Therefore, he is asking for B-4 zoning for the entire tract, which is the same classification as for Mr. King's property to the South, where Mr. King manufactures kitchen cabinets. Chas. Becht, attorney, opposed the petition on behalf of the Jeffery Estate, stating it is felt the requested B-4 zoning would not be in the best interests of the County or his client. A paint and body shop is a noisy opeaation and, to a certain extent, dangerous. Mr. King's kitchen cabinet business also produces noise, but nothing like a body shop would produce. Mr. Becht said that when Mr. King asked for B-4 zoning, the Jeffery Estate did not oppose it, but a paint and body shope is downgrading and it is opposed. In reply to a question, Mr. Becht said his client has no immediate plans for using his property but it is for sale and there have been overtures from resort- type interests. Petitioner said he has secured a building permit'and is constructing his shop on the rear of the lot, near the lake, in his spare time. Mr. Thomas confirmed that a building permit had been issued for an accessory building. However, the building cannot be occupied as a body shop. without a lic.ense and z~n~ng and licensing go together, a body shop may not be located at this location unless there is rezoning. B-3 zoning pro~ides for a service garage but not for bumping and painting. Moved by Mr. Jackson, second~-by Mr. ~ayling that the petition be recom- mended to the Board of County Commi~sioners for approval .... Vote was polled~ as f~tlows: Ayes - Jackson and Hayling. Nayes - Hogue, Schenandoah, Gorham, Gates, Scott, Weatherington, Jennings. September 24, 1970 ~(cont) _ ~~ ............. ~:_ Members of the Board expressed their reasons for voting gainst the motion, which varied: a paint and body skip .would d~finitely downgrade ~ e area, even though the cabinet shop required the same zoning~ classification; a'pain and b0dy shop is the worst business in the world to collect junk; the body shop to the east, near the lake, would adversely effect vast amount of excellent housing nearby.

Robert Jerniga~, realtor, present representing petitioner. There is a prospective purchaser for the property described who is interested in developing it as a mobile home park, adding it to a 40-acre tract to the South for which a Special Exception has been granted by the Board of Adjustment to Albert DiVagno permitting development of a mobile home park. Arthur Wood, Engineer, Wood, Beard and Associates, Inc., advised that the prospective purchaser (Kassuba Development Corp.) has engaged his firm to prepare plans for the property, along with Mr. DiVagno's tract. Showed a drawing of the proposed layout for the DiVagno property, observing the same design would be carried through to the proposed extension. City sewers and city water will be available. Ben Bryan, Jr. presented a petition opposing the petition, on which there were 27 signatures, 22 by adjacent property owners (husbands and wives) and 5 by other nearby residents. Notice of this public hearing was sent to 28 adjacent property owners, 13 of them signing the petition presented. Many of these people attended .the hearing, although not all of them spoke. Mr. Bryan pointed out the area proposed for the mobile home park is adjacent to an area already developed with single family homes. Presented pictures of some of these dwellings to show their attractiveness and the investment of the people living there. October 22, 1970(cont. ) Mr. Bryan stated there is reason to believe that the reques part of a speculative venture. Stated a mobile home park would of adjoining ~pp~erty. Further, the ~residents feel~ there is a su mobile home parks already in the jCounty. Cody Bailey said he felt c~mpelled to speak on behalf of th for rez~o~i~g is the va lue number of residents opposing the~tion because Bailey Construction Co. ~uilt all of~the homes on Seneca Avenue within the past five years. He further stated that as soon as the Exception was granted Mr. DiVagno the 40 acres ~ware offered to him, and othe Mr. Wood called attention to~.the fact that all of the prope ty for which rezoning _is requested is zoned B-2, except for a Small parcel, and that thi classification permits many undesirable uses. He.denied that rezoning is reques ed for speculation; that Kassuba Development Corp. is a-nationally known organization Kd is sincerely interested in the project. Further', in answer to a question by M . Bryan, they have signed a contract. Mr. Jernigan asked p'ermission to speak to the residents of he area pre'sent, to try to make them understand the situation. This request was mad two more times as the meeting progressed but the chairman did not grant the rqque t. Mr. Jernigan mentioned that Mr. Blood'worth has been paying taxes on the land u der consideration for years and now feels the need f~r relief. Myron Wilson objected to the proposed rezoning as did Donal Br~ewer. Moved by Mr. Scott, seconded by ~r. Gates, that denial of t e petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because of the st ong opposition from adjacent property owners. ~The chairman asked if everyone understood %he uses permitt d by B-2 zoning and at Mr. Wood's request the County ~Attorney ~ead the permitted uses in his classification. This did not change the attitude of those opposing the petition. Mr. Scott commented that he moved for denial because of the st~rong opposition of adjacent property owners and that since they maintained their p sition after hearing the provisions and uses of B-2 zoning, it was his opinion that the P & Z Commission should honor this decision. Mr. Kaye identified himself as the real estate broker who h s tried to put this package together; that it has appeared to be a good deal sinc the lands are so close to a number of established mobile home parks; however, Ka ~velop_ment Corp. would not go ahead with develOpme~nt of the DeVagno p~opertF -p~~n~ access from St. %ucie Blvd.~ through the Bloodworth pro~ rty.

He owns a tractor-trailer which he uses to haul produce. Has no plans for a public garage. Rollin Rogers opposed the petition. Said he lives just off Ralls Road, about 500 yds from Mr. Davis' property; that while traveling Edwards Road to and from his home he has seen more than one rig parked on Mr. Davis' property, plainly visible from the road. Presumed Mr. Davis knew he was moving into a residentially zoned area and should have taken all his needs into consideration. Mr. Rogers commented that during the last few years Edwards Road has been upgraded considerably, including Mr. Davis' house. Mrs. Chas. R. P. Brown spoke for her mother, Mrs. C. D. Mustaine who was also present. Mrs. Mustaine owns a 10-acre tract directly across the road from Mr. Davis which has great potential. Mrs. Brown referred to the many $25,000-$50,000 homes in the area and the fact that Mr. Davis' business is not compatable with residential zoning and usage. Mr. Rogers reminded the Board of the A-1 (agricul.tu~a&) zoning which had been approved a number of years ago, East and West of Mr.,D'avis' property, to accommodate hot houses which are no longer used, are in disrepair and are unsightly. Thils rezoning proved to be a mistake. Harold Parson opposed the petition because his home is near~ and represents a considerable investment. Randy Osteen, a resident of the area, 'object to the petition being granted. Every effort has been made to upgrade Edwards Road, with some success and Mr. Davis' business would not help. Mr. Davis_ said his land area is 198 ft. x 880 ft. and he proposes to construct his garage about 400 ft. from Edwards Road, near the nursery. Pointed outthat a neighbOr keeps hogs. This was discussed but little information was available. He admitted that sometimes more than one tractor-trailer is on his property, but this happens when a friend who drives a tractor-trailer comes to visit. Mr. Davis said he feels he must keep his equipment on his lot because of the danger of vandalism if it is parked elsewhere. Mr. ~ogers observed that n~o m~tter where Mr. Davis parks the vehicle on his lot it will be visible because there are only pine trees which do not provide screening. Mrs. Brown expressed concern about the noise which repair work would generage. Move~ by Mr. Gates, seconded by Mr.~ Hogie that denial of the petition be recom- mended to the Board of County b. ecause to park and repair a tractor-trailer on petitioner's property would break down the great effort which has been made to upgrade Edwards Road and noise generated by the operation and repair of such large vehicle or vehicles would prove a nuisance. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. MISIUTES .... Moved by Mr. Gates, seconded by Mr. Jackson, and unanimously carried, that the minutes of September 24, 1970 be approved as mailed. PROPOSED RECREATION AREA - South HUTCHINSON ISLAND _ _ . At the invitation of the chairman, Kendall Starratt appeared before the Commission to report on the present status of efforts to secure property lying West of A1A, in Section 27.-36-41,..b.etween Herman's Bay on the North and Nettles Island on the South, for a public ~ecreation area. A yaar or more ago this Commission recmmmended to th~ Board of County Commiss~ioners that efforts be made to secure this property for public p~poses. The County Commission pursued the-matter, finding the properties involved could not be secu~red for a reasnnabte price, and the County without funds to ma~e-any purchase. The Inter~astal Sailing Cl~b_ of w~'ich Mr. Starratt is a member, became interested and have presented the.project to the State' of~Florida; with a p~oposal that the State acquire the property. The Stateis interested. Mr. Chas. Smith of the Department of Natural Resources will inspect the property very soon and make his report to Ney Landrum who, in turn, will make a recommendation to the State cabinet. Moved by Mr. Hogue, seconded by Mr. Jackson, :and. carried, that the Planning and Zoning Commission endorse the proposal of the Intercoastal Sailing Club, pointing out that the acquisition of more public land in St. Lucie County for recreational purposes is urgent in view of the many new residents who will be settling here. October 22, 1970 (cont) PETITION OF DOYLE JENKINS On September 24, 1970 the Planning and zDning Commission po tponed further consideration of Mr. Jenkins petition for a change in zoning cla sification until this date. However, Mr. Jenkins subsequently ~i.~hdrew his peti ion so that no further action is necessary. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of the Board of County Commissioners, St. Lucie Co nty, to amend the Comprehensive Zoning Resolution, as follows: 1. Under Section 2, DEFINITIONS, delete the definition f r Group Housing in its entirety and insert the followings: Group Housing - Shall mean two or more buildings for dwelling purposes erected or placed on the same lot. 2. Under Section 10, YARDS, delete paragraph 5, Provisio s of Yards for Group Housing in its entirety. 3. Under Section 7, SUPPLEMENTARY DISTRICT REGULATION_S, paragraph as follows: dd an additional Paragraph 20. Group Housing- In districts where gr up housing is permitted, development shall be subject to the follow ng requirements: .Site Development Plans shall be submitted to and Planning and Zoning Commission prior to issuance permits for property involved. Site development the following: pproved by the tf any building ~lans shall include (1) Location, character, size and height of all ~uildings, structures, walls, fences and uses. The classification of units proposed shall dete.rmine the applicable district regu .ations. (2) Location, character and size of all common u e facilities. Common use facilities not governedby Buildi ~g and Zoning Regulations-shall comply with requirements c ! the Regulations for Filing Plats and Developing Subdivisions (3) Location, character and enclosure of all out ~ide facilities for waste storage and sewage facilities. (4) Ail curb cuts, driveways, parking areas,~ loa ling areas, walkways, ya;rds and landscaping. Development plans shall be submitted to and apprc 'ed by the County Engineer prior to submission to the Planning and ~oning Board for approval. Approved site development plans shall be filed i~ the: office Of the County Engineer, and the Building and zoning Depa :tment. Periodic inspections will be made by both Departments. Nc certificates of occupancy shall be issued until all site improve~ ~nts serving the unit are complete. Andrew Helseth, County Engineer, explained these proposed a ~endments are felt to be necessary because they will give the County control over l ~e internal im- provementS in group housing projects which~they presently do no~ have~.' Since ~is type of development is becoming more popular, especially in con~ )m±nium type projects, it is urgent that some cOntrols be established. Mr. Schenandoah suggested that a bond be required of the d( ~eloper. Mr. wilson explained it is almost impossible to secure a sub~ivisi.oK bond. However, the County has worked out a plan --if a developer has a firm co~ ~itment from a lending agency, and they agree not to disperse the loan except s ~ the work is done and upon the approval of the Engineer, this is acceptable to th~ County. Moved by Mr. Gates, seconded by Mr. Scott.,~ and carried, tbs ' approval of this petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners bec ~use the proposed amendments will provide needed controls over the internal impro% ~ments in group housing developments. October 22, 1970 (cent) 277" PUBLIC HEARING Petition of the Board of County Commissioners, St. Lucie County, to amend the Zoning District Regulations~ as follows: Under R-lC ONE FAMILY DWELLING and R-2 TWO FAMILY DWELLING , add the following to the~MINIMUM LOT REQUIREMENTS: With central water system and central sewage collection and secondary treatment facilities: Width: 75 feet. Area: 7500 sq. ft. Mr. Wilson explained that in the zoning classifications R-lC and R-2 a lot with 75 ft. frontage and 10,000 sq. ft. is required where a well and septic tank are used; a lot with 75 ft. frontage and 8250 sq. ft. is required when eight a well or septic tank is used, or neither. The proposed amendment will reduce the square footage required to 7500 sq. ft. when neither well or septic tank is used, which is deemed to be more realistic. Moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Hogue, and carried, that this amendment be recommended to the Board of Connty Commissioners for approval, because a lot with 75 ft. front~d 7500 sq. ft. is felt to be adequate in size when there, is neither a well or septic tank.

PUBLIC HEARING Petition of ABD Corporation, for a change in zoning~ clas ification, from A-1 (agriculture) to R-3 (multiple dwelling), for the following ~escribed property: N~ of SE% of SE%, less North 300 ft. of East 350 ft (less rd r/w), Section 35, Township 34 South, Rs ~ge 39 East, St. Lucie County, FlOrida. Prior to this public hearing notice of same was sent by first class mail to adjacent property owners, as follows~= W. D. Bourn Packing Co. Levan Groves, Inc. Morris C. Reid L. O. Stephens Ray M. Hogan O. R. Minton Minton Sun, Inc. 715 Center St., Barboursville W.V. P O Box 277, Boonsboro, Md. Rt. 2, Box 1160, Fort Pierce, Fla. 209 Raulerson Bldg., Fort Pis 3ce, Fla. 1806 Sunrise Blvd., Fort Pie~ :e, Fla. P 0 Box 670, Fort Pierce, Fls P 0 Box 670, Fort Pierce, Fla 279 Chet Tyson was present at the hearing, representing petition. The property lies on the West side of Kings Hwy., about 500 ft. North of Angle Road and con- tains 18 acres. Petitioner wants to develop it in~o a mo~ile home subdivision, consisting of 55 lots, averaging 11,000 sq. ft. each which is about 50% in excess of minimum requirements. James E. Alderman, attorney for O. R. Minton an.d-Mi~on Sun, Inc. opposed the petition on behalf of his clients by presenting ~a~:on for ~nc~ opposition orally and by letter, as follows: "I represent Minton Sun, Inc., a Florida Corporation, and O. R. Minton and Shirley Ann Minton, his wife, individually. My clients have received from you a notice that a publiC hearing will be held on Thursday, December 10, 1970 at 7:30 P.M. upon thee petitiOn of ABD Corporation for change in zoning classification from A-1 to R-3 to permit development of a mobile home subdivision on certain property on Kings Highway across the street from property owned by my clients. My clients are opposed to the granting of this petition and feel that there should be no change in zoning in the area. In addition to this being an attempt at "spot" zoning there are several factors which make the proposed change of zoning undesireable. The property in question is near the inte~sec.tion of King's Highway and Angle Road, and right across the street from Minton Sun, Inc, packing house. There is a bridge across Canal C~25 3ust north of the intersection. King's Highway is the main fe~d~r ~oute to the turn- pike and is also the only hard surface north-south farm to market road in this section of the County. This results in heavy traffic on King's Highway through out the year. This traffic is further increased during the eight months of the year when the packing house is in operation due to approximately 4,000 trucks which will be turing into, or exiting, from the packing house. Also during the packing season approximately 75 automobiles per day are in and out of the packing house area. In addition to Minton Sun, Inc. there is another packing house on the other side of the street and a retail fruit stand to the north. King's Highway is a two lane road. The combination of narrow road, intersection, bridge, packing houses, and heavy traffic result in already hazardous road. conditions in this area. The addition of a mobile home park and the extra traffic and congention generated as a result thereof would only aggravate the situation. T There would be other problems. The land in question is a part of the Fort Pierce Farms Drainage District, which is designed for agricultural rather than urban drainage. This District can provide for one inch run off every 24 hours. This is adequate for agricul- tural purposes but would not be sufficient for the hundreds of people who might be living within the limited area of a mobile home park. For the reasons stated above, my clients feel that the best interest of the County and all persons concerned would best:be served by a denial of this petition." Morris Reid, adjacnet property owner, objected to the petition being granted because he moved to the country to get away frmm congestion, and he is opposed to any change. Also, if the plan is to use septic tanks, they Will not operate in this particular area. Mr. Tyson called attention to the fact that it is not a trailer park which is being discussed but a mobile home subdivision with 50 - 55 home sites, which will not add much to the traffic on Kings Highway. Further, if there is a traffic problem created by business interests along the Highway, there is no reason why these interests should have a priority on use of the road. Mr. Gorham commented on the future of Kings Hwy. regardless of the route 1-95 will take. He predicted the area will develop very rapidly in the next five yeaes, take on uses other than agriculture and that its agriculture use will disappear. Referred to reports Kings Hwy. is to be 4-1aned, etc. which in iteself will bring many changes. Mr. Gates opposed any zoning change to residential because it would result in problems and complaints. For instance, airplane spraying is necessary for grove maintenance but would be objec ~tio~ nable to people residing in a subdivision in the area. Larry Libby, realtor, referred to Mr. Reid who lives adjacent to the property to be rezoned, saying that Mr. Reid has been exposed to plane spray- ing and has not objected to it. Mr. Gates acknowledged this is true but Mr. Reid is associated with the grove business and is not a non-interested person living in a subdivision in the area. The desirability of a master plan for the general area of Kings Highway was discussed and it was agreed this would be a good thing especially if the g80 Dec~mber 10, 1970 (cont) predicted rapid development becomes an actuality. The area c¢ ~1, rezoned according to a master plan although this would create many non- formities, etc. The chairman asked Mr. Tyson for a plan of development % ~cih Mr. Tyson did not have available. Mr. Thomas reminded the Board that St. iLucie County has rigid regulations for the development of mobile home subdi~. ~sions. If the requested rezoning is granted, then petitioner will have to sec ~re a Special Exception from the Board of Adjustment and plans would be appr¢ ~ed by the Board of Adjustment. Moved by Mr. Gates that the petition be denied because ~ ~cating a residential subdivision in an area completely devoted to agricl ~ture Qould result in problems created by the change in land use, includin¢ ~dralnag , fertilizing, spraying and further traffic congestion. The i btion was seconded by Mr. Jackson. Vote was polled as follows: Ayes Jackson, Gates, H~ing, Scott and Jennings. Nayes - Gorham. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of George H. Close, Jr. for a change in zoning ~lassification, from A-1 (agriculture) to B-4 (gener~al business), for the foll~ wing described property: No~th 200 ft. of North 447.4 ft. of South 527.4 t. of East 300 ft. of West 371 ft. of NW¼ of SW¼, Sect on 25, Township 34 South, Range 39 East, St. Lucie Coun y, Florida.

Mr. Close stated there is a building on his property wh ch was constructed for fruit harvest~ing. He is no longer using it for this purp¢ e and it has not been used for some time. However, he now wants to rent it to ~ther people in the fruit harvesting business. Mr, Close's petition indicate ~ he desired to rent the property for "a small, clean type of commercial busin ~ss", not permis- sible in A-1 zoning. Mr. Thomas advised if the building is to be used stric~ ~y for an agri- cultural pursuit it could be done in A-1 zoning, by Special E~ ~eption granted by the Board of Adjustment. If it is the intent to go into s business not associated wi~ riculture, then rezoning would be necessary. Mr. Close gave assurance that the structure is to be used for harvestinf citrus f~uit. There was no opposition to the petition. Mr. Close asked permission to withdraw his petition so 2h~t he can go to the Board of Adjustment. The petition was withdrawn.

Mr. Brennan said that these people were not in ~av~r of a junk ya~ ~ as opposed to a trailer park but object to to change from R-lC to A-l, feeling su~. ~ change would decrease the value of their property and would open the area where their h~ ~es are to objectionable ~ r activities. Feel if the proposed development is next to a junk ' ~ d it would have to be a junk yard type development which would hurt the neighborhood The chairman explained that even thou~h the~ change of zonin is granted by the Planning and zoning commission and the Board of county Commission ~s, Mr~ Diamond must go before the Board of Adjustment for a special exception to perm t the mobile home park and the B of A can, and no doubt would, assur:e a desirable devel'o msnt by conditions placed on the Special Exception. Further, County regulations fo such development are stringent. Adjacent property owners complained about 'smoke from bur~in in the junk yard. The chairman ruled this had no place in the discussion because it had nothing to do with the rezoning of the land. Moved by Mr. Scott, seconded by Mr. Jackson that the petit~ ~n be tabled. ~ote was polled and the motion carried unanimously.

The situation t ~ings on many problems -- demands for paving roads, d~ainage, etc and-also the ~roblem ov the development of land in the rear of the pa~cels abutting on pUbli~ roads. The problems mounted and became so severe that on Nov. 9, 1970 the C( ~nty Commission placed a mortitorium on mobile homes in A~i zoning and at the pr~ sent time no permit is issued unless there is proof of owhership prior to Nov. 9, 19"D.

March 25, 1 Further, it is understood that some of the uses to which this prc ~erty is now put are not within the limits of B-3 zoning, its present classificati n. Mr. Thomas advised that the only thing petitioner is doing at the present time which is not within the limits of preSent B-3 zoning is the ale of used appliances. This business requires B-4 zoning.

American Paradise manufactures modular homes and wants to construct a factory on the property described. This is a desirable clean industry. The modular homes they produce meet FHA specifications.

Mr. Taylor displayed a sketch which showed a house &~ the rear of the lot, an orchid house, a space for storage of materials and supplies, garden and lawn. W. O. Roberts, adjacent property owner, said he and his mother have. no object- ion to a landscape nursery but so many of these businesses do not prosper and then the B-3 zoning would be open to anything permitted in this category. Charles R. Rogers, John F. Pressler, Mr. Maheuron, all adjacent property owners, expressed opposition. Mrs. Cole who said she owns 10 acres at the end of Tumblin Kling Road opposed. Willard Smith said he lives acrD~ss from the parcel under discu~sion and also has 20 acres at the end of the Road.

Pointed out that 10 acres adjacent to the Grzywa property on the West abuts U. S. ~1 which is a natural place for business, but business further East interfers with residential use. Mr. Taylor suggested that he could manage if only .the West 200 ft. of the property is rezoned to ~B-3, leaving ~he East 130 ft. in R-lC. Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Jackson that approval of the amended petition be recommended to the Board Of County Commissioners, to include only the West 200 ft. of the property, becaus~ this appears to be a reasonable location for a landscape nursery and it wou~d be an extension of established B-3 zoning. Vote was polled as follows: Ayes - Jennings, Jackson, Gates and Scott. Nayes - Weatherington. 296 PUBLIC HEARING PetitiOn of Frederick C.

Said ~duplex dwelling was built on his property in 1958 and an addition to .it. was constructed in 1961. He proposes to buy some more land from Mr. Bournival and then construct another duplex. The present duplexes are non-conforming in ~lC zoning. Mr. Richmond displayed a sketch of his property and explained his construc- tion plans. The Durham property (70' x 120') was included in the petition merely to provide sufficient area to make a petition for rezoning possible. Members of the P & Z Commission discussed the desirability of maintaining the present trend of devel~opment for Hartman Road which is which is single family stiructures. Mr. Richmond said he could agree with this as applied to the North portion of the Road but, in his opinion, development near Okeechobee Road is mixed and his request is not unreasonable.

He sho~ed ~rochure designed to promote sales in which the Connty Commission insisted on a ~tement to the effect that building permits could not be secured for much of the .d offered, and emphasized that the County Commission has done everything in their ,er to prevent such land sales. The Florida Land Sales Commission has worked on matter, also, and has exercised all the controls they could. The Commission discussed what, if anything, they might do to curb sales under se circumstances without reaching a conclusion.

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING Peti- from M-!2 property: on of Leslie A. Rayen, Jr. for a change in zoning classification, .) to M-3 (heavy industry), for the following described From int of East line of a 100 ft. FEC RR r/w and the South line of' the SE¼ of Section 8, Township 34 South, Range 40 St. Lucie County, Florida, run NWly along said r/w ~8 f~. to the North line of Wilcox Road, th run Eeast along id North line 21.35 ft. t° the p.o.b., th cont East 436 ft., a back angle of 69o30' as measured from West to North parallel with the FEC RR 213.52 ft., th West 436 ft., SEly parallel with FEC RR 213.52 ft. to the p.o.b. Chester ~iffin, Attorney, and Fred Lollis, Contractor, were present on behalf of petitioner. !Mr. Griffin displayed a map of the area pointing out the two lots on which Mr. Rayen proposes to construct an asphalt plant, utilizing the North portion of the lots. Also pointed out the canal constructed by Mr. Rayen to provide an outlet to the intracoastal waterway. The property is adjacent to the railroad and Mr. Rayen needs this facility in his business. Mr. Grif£in called attention to the fact there is one asphalt plant in St. Lucie Coun~ty, one in Indian Ri er County and one in Martin County, all of them owned by Dickerson, Inc. Mr. Rayen's plant offers an opportunity for competition in the business which will be good for the entire community. Mr. Griffin referred to the $33,000 the Board of County Commissioners spent on Wilcox Road knowing the land abutting on the North is zoned for industry and knowing a .number of industries are being considered for the area. With regard to pollution, Mr. Griffin said the plant must meet all criteria of the State Health Department and the the new plants are designed so as to eliminate noise and pollution of the air and water. Mrs. Denick, adjacent property owner, said she was the person who got up the petition opposing the petition of Mr. RAyen, presented on April 22; that she continues to oppose the petition and knows the Vero Beach plant emits smoke. Mr. Miller, Rivervi~w Manor S/D, referred to the Vero Beach plant and said when the air is heavy there is an odor from the plant and a Southeast wind could bring such an order to.the subdivision. Mr. Griffin said he understands there was a smoke emission from the Vero Beach Plant but that there is now a new plant which does not have this problem. Mr. Lollis said the proposed plant will be completely new, it must meet all requirements of the Health Department, and it must be equipped with all the latest anti-pollution devices. Moved by Mr. J'ennings, seconded by Mr. Haylin~, that since this is an area designed to accommod_ate industry that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend o s 1 ers ~ to the Board of Coun~a~ ~e petition be granted. Vote was polled, as follows: Ayes - Hogue, Gates, Jennings and Hayling. Nayes - Jackson and Scott. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of William D. Lanier and E.J.

Mr. Jennings commented that if Mr. Lanier had some plan could have a better basis on whiCh to consider the petition. the Commission Mr. Scott said he thinks the area very well suitsd to s ngle family dwellings but not to multiple dwellings o~ mobile homes. Mr. Hayling noted it has been stated the land is poor. Asked petitioner what his plans are to bring itup to specifications. ~. Lanier said he would do whatever is required by way of engineering, beautification, rais ng elevations, paving streets, etc. Mr. Scott stated that the area along Angle Road Ext., b tween Kings Highway and the Turnpike is completed unspoiled and, although he does no know what it will be in the future, allowing a mobile home subdivision at this tim would be pointing in a direction Which could be entirely wrong. Vote on the motion was polled, as follows: Ayes - Hog e, Jackson, Gates and Scott. Nayes - Jennings. Abstained - Hayling. The gavel was returned to the chairman. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of Tommie L.

There are citrus trees on the White City United Methodist Church property adjacent and he wants to make an agreement with the Church to take care of their trees, in return for which he will receive some of the fruit. Wants to sell this fruit, and fruit from his own trees, from his own property. Also, A-1 zoning would permit him to park ~one or two there, which would not be seen from Midway Road. Will not be able to keep any livestock because there is not sufficient space. Mr. Holton said he had discussed his plans with Mrs. Christensen, adjacent property owner, who had no objection. Letter from Rev. E. B. McGahee, White City united Methodist Church advising that the Church did not oppose the petition. Moved by Mr. Hayling, seconded by Mr. Gates, that t~eo_mmendation be made to the Board of County Commissioners that the petition be granted because it was not opposed, the area is essentially rural in character and it is rsasonable to permit petitioner to sell fruit grown on the land from the roadside.

Mr. Blackburn and his attorney, Robert Lloyd, attended th~ hearing. Mr. Lloyd said his client is asking for A-1 zoning for this strip of 'Land along ~ S. ~1 so that it will be in. the same classification as the re~ ~inder of his property. When this has been accomplished he will then go befor~ the Board of Adjust- ment for a Special Exception which will permit him to mine sand ~ ~om the entire tract, which contains about 14'acres. The property generally il higher than the roadbed of U. S. ~1, but it slopes'Westward to the Savanna. Mr~ Blackburn plans to mine the high area, then grade the entire property aand devel¢ ~ it for a purpose which was not stated. Mr. Lloyd said Mr. Blackburn is aware that the Board of Ac justment will require an engineering plan for removing the sand, retaining the proper slopes, but he has not proceeded with this awaiting the result of his petiti~ ~ for rezoning. Mr. Loyd called attention to the fact that A-1 zoning in ~ ~is instance is only a hold classification since the land does not lend itself t¢ any form of agriculture. The County Attorney noted that if Mr. Blackburn wanted to ~evel off the property without removing any sand he could do so without a chan~ a in zoning but, because he wants to remove sand and sell it, he requires rezonin~ to A-1 and a Special Exception from the Board of Adjustment. Frank Frances opposed the petition because the property a~ jacent on the North, in Indrio Subdivision, would be left high. Spencer Gilber, Attorney, opposed the petition on behalf ~ f Robert Sweet on the premise that mining sand would result in the destruction ~ f valuable land, and that the operation=would adversel~ ~ffect adjacent propertie~ . Referred to sites in the South end of the Coa~ty'where sand has been mined wi? n disasterous effects on adja~s~t lands. Further, the mining operation itself ~ould be a hazard to highway traffic. Letter received from L. J. Knight, adjacent property' owne~ , in opposition. Mrs. Kathryn Gibbons said she was undecided about the proI ~s'ed mining opera- tion but felt the appearance of the highway North of Fort Pierce aeeded to be im- proved. Mr. Gates inquired what the Board of Adjustment could do mining operation. Mr. wilson explained the Board's powers. safeguard a Mr. Lloyd said U. S. ~1 at this point has no development : 9r about a half mile and one of the reaons for this is the land is higher than the le~ al of the road. denial of Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Hogue, that/the pe~ ition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because the proposed use is aot compatable with the business zoning of the lands abutting U.

Mr. Mullins stated that the land involved inthis petition is approximately 36 acres; that his written petition indicated he planned a mobile home subdivision but whether he proceeds with this plan depends on several factors. He has con- strutted a road through ~the property, built to County specifications, at a cost of approximately $30,000. Mr. M~llins said he has owned the .land for 23 years. When he adquired it taxes were $600 per year.

Has some lots otb( lot on which his home is located and wants to construct duplexes on theI there are many people, especially teachers, looking for housing in this ar~ Bessie Osteen said she has lived inthe neighborhood for about as long as Mr. Green has lived there. Objected to rezoning, but said Mr. G een could put whatever he likes on his lots. Mr. D. L. Jackson said he lives next door to Mr. Green. Thinks their "little village" should be kept as it is; it's a nice neighborho d and they don't want spot $oning. Laverne Tanner said he has lived in his home since 1947 Wants to see everything remain as it is. Robert Billings said whatever petitioner wants to build is all right with him, but doesn't want anything rezoned. Harry Osteen said he has lived in his home since 1936. Thought the zoning should not be changed but that Mr. Green could build what he wan .s. Mr. Green said he felt his neighborho~s did not realize what he is planning to do - that he plans to build homes, not hotesl or motels, but wo family units. And, in order to do this, he has to be rezoned. Said there are instances in the area where two families are living in a house, althou~gh the zoni g does not permit this. Mrs. Green said that from what she has heard, perhaps s ,me of the neighbors think that they will have to do something to their property if t .e petition is granted, which is not the situation at all. Mr. Hayling spoke to the audiance, saying they seemed t ~ feel that if Mr. Green's pefition is granted, it would force the neighbors to cha .ge their properties. This is not so; however, the Green's cannot build duplexes unles the zoning is changed. The County Attorney inquired of Mr. Green if it is real .y duplexes he wants to build. Mr. Green said that' it is - that he has nothing else in mind and assured his neighbors he is not thinking of apartments like the ones bei ;g constructed close by. Mr. Wilson said that in that case only R-2 zoning would ~e required and would rule out multiple construction, if that is what the neighbors fe ~red. Mr. Green asked permission to amend his petition to ask for R-2 zoning instead of R-3. Bessie Osteen, earlier in the hearing, had presented a follows: "We, the undersigned prope~tyowners in WESTWOOD MANO~ above referenced re-zoning request on the grounds that it would which was signed by 19 people. ~tatement, as object to the a "Spot zoning", Moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Hayling that rec£ emendation be made to the Board of CountyCommissioners to grant Mr. Green's amended petitiOn for R-2 zoning whiCh will preserve the residential character of the neic ~borhood and, at the same time, provide housing needed in this particular area.

Petitioner, Wm. Sampson, of the firm of Sampson Bros., contractors, was not present at the opening of the Hearing nor was there anyone who desired to speak in support of the p~.tion. However, there was a letter from Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin, Rt. 2, Box 2675, Roberts Rd., Fort Pierce, urging the Petition be granted. Receipt of a letter from Paul C. Holden, President of the Lakewood Park Property Owners Association, Inc. was acknowledged, which read in part: "Accord- ingly, the Lakewood Park Property Owners Association, representing approximately 2840 property owners here in Lakewood Park, expresses herewith exception to the proposed rezoning. The Association with legal counsel will be represented at the public hearing to be held on Thursday, June 24, 1971, at 7:30 P.M. in the Court House." Chester Clem, Attorney for the Lakewood Park Property Owners Assn., said he was present to oppose the petition on behalf of the Association; that the Association does not want to stop development in Lakewood Park but they do not want Mr. Sampson's property thrown wide open to R-3 .zoning because they do not feel this would be in the best interests of Lakewood Park Subdivision. Mr. Wm. Sampson and his two brothers, d/b/a Sampson Brothers, arrived at the hearing. Mr. Wm. Sampson served as spokesman. Mr. Sampson said he is asking for a change to B-3 zoning because he wants to be able to build duplex homes if anyone wants this type of construction; that it is possible he would construct no duplexes, but he wants the privilege of doing so. Has no plans to cover the entire tract with duplexes. D.oes not wish to build multiple dwellings and when applying for rezoning had asked for B-2, which permits only single family and duplex dwellings, but had been advised in the Zoning office that a request for B-3 would be better. ; Mr. Clem suggested that Mr. Sampson meet with the Board of Directors of the Property Owners Association in an effort to negotiate an agreement for some covenants which would satisfy both parties. Mr. Sampson said he has already met with the Board of Directors and it did no good. He then said he would like to amend his petition to ask for R-2 zoning instead of R-3 and added that he had talked with Col. Holden ~esterday and at that time Col. Holden seemed to think duplexes would be fine if not carried to extremes. The Planning and Zoning Commission indicated they would be willing for Mr. Sampson to amend his petition to ask for R-2 zoning. Mr. Clem repeated that t~e thought people would not mind R-I zoning if certain covenants and restrictions could be worked out with the of the area. All prope.rty~ithin Lakewood Park S/D is subj and covenants. Suggested 'that since Mr. Sampson has now R-2 zoning, it might be well to allow some ~time for together to discuss the matter further and perhaps an agreement other residents restrictions his request to sit down reached. Mr. Sdmpson repeated that what he wants is R-2 zQ~ing; tha s been building in Lakewood Park for 14.years and has constructed about ~ fourths of the homes there. Referred to his past work as proof of his ~. Stated that he would retain control of the development of the 40 acres, and not sell single lots to o~hers for development. Again stated he may never buil ~ even one duplex, but wants to be able to do so if there is a demand for this type dwelling. Mr. Clem spoke about the differences in requirements for s~uare footage in single-family dwellings and duplex dwellings and he, and others, referred to the type of construction now existing and that fact that some of the single family dwellings in the Subdivision are quite expensive, one being valued as high as $48,000. Col Holden pointed out that Mr. Sampson must rezone to a ~sidential category 'if he wants to build homes and that R-lC zoning would permit construction of one- family dwellings; that a duplex here and there may not be objectionable but too many would be something else. Suggested that if Mr. Sampson secure~ R~iC zoning then he might, at a later date, request R-2 zoning for certain lots. Anthony Dolozick, realtor, spoke briefly of the history oJ Lakewood Park S/D and then said that on the other side of the Feeder Route there ~re 144 lo~s zoned for duplexes and apartments. Mr. Sampson said all the duplex lets were sold a long time ago. Mr. Sampson asked for time to confer with his brothers, ~ich was granted. When they returned to the hearing room, he advised he and his b~others would not change their request for R-2 zoning. Col Holden was asked if the ~rope~ty Owners Association r~presented eachand every property owner in Lakewood park S/D. He replied that ca~egorically he could not say it represented all of them, but could say the Ass~ciation represented the majority 'of the owne'rs of the 4000 lots in the subdivision. There was dis- cussion of the fact that the Association has taken over from Mr Brandt, the developer, in the ~atter of maintenance. Moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Weatherington, that approval of the amended petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissi)ners. Vote was polled, as follows: Ayes - Weatherington, Jackson, ~ayling. Nays - Schenandoah, Hogue and Scott. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of Cody L. Bailey for a change in zoning classification, from R-lC (single-family dwellings) to B-2 (limited business), for the following described property: Lots 20, 21 and 22, Block 50, San Lucie Plaza, as rec)rded in Plat Book No. 5, page ~.7, page 57, public records of ~t. Lucie County, Florida. Prior to this public hearing notice of same was sent by f ~r~.t class mail to adjacent property owners, as follows: G. Albert Bloodworth, Tr. Franklin J. Carino Frank X. Cappy Robert F. Topper Arnold Higginbotham P 0 BOX 1659, Fort Pierce, Florida Rt. 1, Box 493, Fc~t pierce, Fla. Rt. 1, BOX 495, Fc~t pierce, Fla. Rt. 1, Box 496, Fc~t Pierce, Fla. P O Box 1134, Fort Pierce, Fla. Prior to the effective date of the Comprehensive zoning ~solution the owners of San Lucie Plaza asked that Blocks 49, 50, 51, 52, lA, lB, lC and two unnumbered parcels be zoned B-2. This request was granted except for Lots 20, 21 and 22, of Block 50 which were zoned R-lC. The omission of Lots 20, 2~, and 22 of Blk 50 from the B-2 zoning appears to have been an error and petitioner has filed this petition to correct it. R. N. Koblegard III, was present on petitioner's behalf. The petition was not opposed. Moved by Mr. Hayling, seconded by Mr. Jackson that approval of the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because a very small area of R-lC zoning is an extensive area of B-2 zoning is not reasonable or practical. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of C. L. Smith for a change in zoning classification, from (general business) to R-3 (multiple dwelling), for the following described property: That part of the N% of the S% of the NE% of the NE% of Section 4, Township 35 South, Range 40 East, which lies between the East boundary of Canal C-25 and the West boundary of Old U.

Mr. Smith stated he is asking for R-3 zoning so that he will be able to construct triplex dwellings on the property; that it is not suitable for business because of its location. Noted that there is residential zoning (R-4) adjacent on the South. The petition was not opposed. Moved by Mr. Hayling, seconded by Mr. Hogue that approval of the petition be recommended to the Board of Count~ Commissioners because the property to the South and most of the property to the East is already zoned for multiple dw. ellings so that the zoning requested would not change 'the-character of the neighborhood and the petition was not opposed. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of E. M.

Carl Jackson, adjacent property own'er, inquired as to the activities permitted in A-l, and these were reviewed by Mr. Thomas. Mr. Jackson was concerned about the possibility of the Miller's keeping animals and was assured that they could not do so since they did not have sufficient land to provide required'setbacks. Moved by Mr.. Hogue, seconded by Mr. Hayling that approval of the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because the-raising '~f vegetables and flowers would not appear to be detrimental to the area and the land area is not sufficiently large to permit the Reeping of animals.

However, developers are having great difficulty securing R-3 and R-4 zoning, for multiple zoning, because of the prejudice against mobile homes. There, it was felt ~it w~ould be better to established, again, a zoning classification stricting for mobile homes. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded b~ Mr. Jackson that approval of this petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners, establishing a special zoning classification for m~bile homes to'relieve the difficulties of present regulations of permitting them in R-3 and R-4 zoning. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. MINUTES Moved by Mr. Hogue, seconded by Mr. Hayling, and carried, that the minutes of May 27, 1971 be approved, as mailed. Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned. / / THE NEWS TRIBUNE THE NEWS TRIBUNE THE NEWS TRIBUNE THE NEWS TRIBUNE .....

Petitioner was present at the hearing. Wants to construct a duplex on the property described, and plans to occupy part of it himself. In August 1969 when all of Block 1, Ruhlman S/D, was rezoned to B-3 to gain confirmity for the existing motel and to add a commercial building, petition assumed he would be permitted to construct a duplex in the B-3 classification. However, B-2 or R-2 zoning is required. Irvin Sweet, adjacent property owner, inquired about the exact location of the property, ~k~sh was explained, and when he learned B-2 is more restrictive than B-3 zoning, he said he would not object to the proposed rezoning. The petition was not opposed. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded by Mr. Hayling that approval .of the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because ~the requested rezoning from B-3 to B-2 would not change the mixture of businessland residential zoning now existing in the area and the petition was not opposed. Vote was polled .and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of Fort Pierce Gospel Tabernacle for a change in zoning class- ification, from R-lC (single-family dwelling) to R-4 (multiple dwelling), for the followling described property: E~ of SW~ of SW~of SW~, less East 30 ft. and less North 200 ft. of South 220 ft.~i~.~f West 200 ft. and W½ of SW~ of SW¼ of SW~ less tract lO0 ft. x 299+ft. in NW cor, Section 34, Township 35 South, Range 40 East, St. Lucie COunty, Florida.

P 0 Box 3751, FortPierce, F~al 1205 29th St., Vero Beach, Fla, Pla. ce, Fla. · Florida Rev. John E. DQuglas, pastor of the Church, said he has as[~ed for R-4 zoning for the P~esent church property and a tract of land adjac~n~t on the West, :;~bi~hgt~ey ~ep~nder contract to purchase· because they want to establish a day care center and, eventually, construct one or two homes· one for himself and perhaps one for an assista~n~ minister. Mrs. Douglas would opecate the Center; she has had experience in this work and they feel they would be ~ontributing to a community need. Paul Denison, Everett Maheuron and J. E. Dickson, adjacent property owners, were present. Mr. Denison and Maheuron supported the pe.tition; Mr. DiCkson said he had no objection to a Child Care Center but could not agree w .th any change in zoning. Mr. Monroe said he was not fighting what the church wa~ted to do, -but opposed.rezoning. Dr. S. Phillips Rowe protested the petition ~and Chester Grlffin, attorney, presented a petition bearing 99 signatures of people living in %~e White City area who oppose the petition. Mr. Griffin said the Day Care Center i~ not particularly objectionable but rezoning was opposed. Mr. Griffin also presented two newspaper clippings tell±ng about a mobile home which has been on the church property for some years, much )f the time in violation of regulations, ~and alleging that Rev. Douglas had refused to accept a Special Delivery letter sent by the Zoning Department. Mr. Thomas, zoning Director, stated that the facts in the newspaper were in error - that Rev. Douglas had re- located, the letter was returned to the Post Office and never delivered. After the articles appeared in the paper, Rev. Douglas contacted the zonin[ department and the matter has been satisfactorily resolved. Mr. Gorham inquired why the petition requests rezD~ng f~or t8 acres. Rev. Douglas e~plained that they presently own 5 acres, most of it lying North of the F.P. & L substation, which did not provide 200 ft. of frontage o~ a public road, which is required to qualify for a Petition to rezone. Therefoze, they contracted to purchase an additional five acres adjacent on the West, the p]rchase being con- tingent on rezoning. They are very willing to acquire the addiaional land because they feel sure they can utilize it to good advantage. Mr. Thomas suggested that perhaps the petition could be amended to R-3 zoning, which is more restricted than R-4 but would permit the C ~ild Care Center and multiple housing, jRev. Douglas said that the pr~ovisions o? R~3 and R-4 zoning were' discussed with the ZDning office, his realtor, etc. and it ~as felt R-4 was what was wanted for the land. Mr. Jennings suggested it might be well to postpone further consideration of the petition to give petitioner an opportunity to confer with an attorney. Rev. Douglas said delay would not help because they must move as rapidly as possible to get the Center started. Mr. Scott said he would oppose rezoning the strip of land ~djacent to Oleander aveneue. Mr. Griffin said agazn that the people he represents are n3t opposed to the Day Care Center but they do object to any rezoning. However, did not think they would object to a Variance granted by the Board of Adjustment fo~ the Center in the existing zoning classification. Mr. Thomas explained that ~he Board of Adjustment is not empowered to grant a use variance. Again stated that R-3 zoning is more restrictive than R-4, but would allow everything petitioner wants on the property. Rev, Douglas then said if B-3 will serve he would amend his petition to ask for R-3. It was moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Gotham that the petition be tabled until Rev. Douglas has counsel for a fuller understanding of all aspects of the situation. Rev. Douglas said that he would simply withdraw his petition. Mr. Jennings then withdrew Lis motion and Mr. Gotham his second. The suggestion that the West 150 ft. of the property be eliminated from the petition was seriously discussed. This would leave a strip of land 150 ft. in depth, abutting Oleander Avenue, in R-lC zoning, and would provide approximate- ly five building lots with 75 ft. frohtage. Rev. Douglas was agreeable with this. Moved by Mr. Gorham, seconded by Mr. Hayling, that approval of the amended petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners, changing the request to R-3 zoning and excluding the West 150 ft., from the East r/w line of Oleander Avenue Eastward, because R-3 zoning would not change the residential character of the neighborhood and those ~opposing the rezoning have stated they do not object to a Child Care Center on the property, which can be established only by changiQg the classification of the residential zoning. Vote was polled, as follows: Ayes - Hayling, Gorha~ and Scott. Nays - Jennings, Weatherington PUBLIC ~ARING Petition: of Alvin ~i:ller for a change 'in zoning classification, from R-lC (one-family dWelling) Go A-1 (agriculture), for the following described property: N~ of NEb of NEb of SE¼, less East 340 ft. of South 87.14 ft, ~le~s East 40 ft. for Jenkins Road r/w, Section 13, Township 35 ~South, Range 3-9 East, St~ Lucie County, Florida. Prior to the public hearing notice of same was sent by first class mail to adjacent property owners, as follows: C. Van der-Lugt Estate Mitchei1 J. ChesSer William C. RoCky Fred H. Lollis Gertrude L. Nobles P 0 Box 2'32, Fort Pierce, Fla. 250-1 'Orange Ave-., Fo'rt Pierce, Fi~. Rt. 4, Box 561, Fort PierCe, ~Fla. Rt. 3, Box 634, Fort Pierce, Fla. 103 N.. 22nd St., Fort Pierce, Fla. Mr. Miller stated that he wants A-1 zoning so that he will be able to start a plant nursery on his property. He ~s planning to ~etire in a few years and wants something to do when this happens. Meantime, he wants to start plants and build a shade house. Mr. Scott reported that Mrs. Jack Martin, who has recently purchased the Fred Lollis property, called him ~from Miami, Opposing the petition, not because she objected to a nursery, but because of other things A-1 zoning permits. It was noted that 9 ft. of the Wm. Rocky propertY is included in the petition to provide sufficient frontage. Mrs. Rocky is Mr. Miller's daughter. Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Weatherington that approval of the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because A-1 zoning exists to the East and West of the Miller property and a nursery would be a natural pursuit in this particular area. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of James A. and John W. Strange for a change in zoning classification, from A-1 (agriculture) to R, 3 (multiple dwelling, for the follow- ing described property: E½ of E~ of NE¼ of Section 8, Township 35 South, Range 39 East, St. Lucie County, Florida. Prior to the public hearing notice of same was sent by first class mail to adjacent property owners, as follows: July 22, 1971 (cont) Sol Oro, Inc. C. A. Van der Lugt Howard J. Beville Robert E. Branscomb Grace C. Croghan Norman Forrer Mattie L. Teague J. Patrick Beacom 1950 Thatch Palm Dr., Boc~.. Raton, Fla. Rt. 3, Box 401, Fort Pier~'~e, Fla. Rt. 3, BOx 555, Fort Pier~e, Fla.

Mr. Strange said he feels the highest and best use for ~e land is one of the uses permitted in R-3 zoning. Although the petition indii.cated rezoning was desired to permit a mobile home subdivision, it is pos'sib~.e they will go another route. In any event, this property,~l~cated 5 or 6 m.les from Fort Pierce, could be developed for modest priced housing, with lo!2s selling for less than $2000 and houses in the $12,000 bracke~, for' which 2here is a need. R-3 zoning will permit any type dwelling, from single-family ~o multiple, and they want freedom to develop as they see fit. Mr. Thomas commented on the fact that on August 3 the f~nal public hearing on the new Mobile Home District (R-5) will be held by the Board of County Com- missioners and, if the new regulations are adopted, a mobile ~ome subdivision could not be established in R-3 zoning, Charles Becht, attorney, represented adjacent p~operty )wner, Mr. Branscomb who opposes the proposed rezoning, because he does ~ot feel R-3 classification would be the best use of the land. It is his opinion that a mobile home subdivision or mobile home park would be detrimental to his property and all surrounding property. Mrs. Howard Beville expressed strong opposition to the oetition and~said she spoke, also, for Gustav Hautalla, Mr. and Mrs. ~cClellan ~nd Mr. and Mrs. Webb. Does not ~ant a trailer park next to her. Have planned to build a home for their own use on their land. Mr. Strange noted that there has been no .large residential development in this particular area, but th~ time has come for development to start. Futher, they want to be prepared in the event single-family residences do not sell well at this location, they can go to multiples. The chairman gave the gavel to the Vice-chairman and t~en moved that this petition be ta~led for further consideration on August ~, 1971 when the Commission will hold its next regular meeting.

The petition submitted by Mr. Clark stated he was seeking A-1 zoning in order to be able to keep animals on the property. The CountyAttorney asked Mr. Clark if he knew of the setback requirements when land is used for this pur- pose and that because of the limited size of the property, he could not comply with these setbacks. Mr. Clark replied that he did not know this. Mr. Wilson then suggested that Mr. Clark withdraw-his petition, With the fee he paid being refunded by the Zoning Department. Mr. Clark was told 'that the public hearing on the petition could proceed if he so desired but even though A-1 zoning was granted he could not keep animals on the land. Mr. Clark said he preferred to withdraw the petition. The Plan- ning and Zoning Commission approved the withdrawal and refund of the fee. A letter from August J.

Mr. Lloyd said that the building will be a 'drive=through' so that it cannot be placed too close to the line This matter was discusSed at some length with ~.i~rIes Rogers, ad- jacent property owner. Mr. Rogers said he and his neighbors w,i. lI not oppose the petition if there is sufficient setbaCk because they realize the~e must be a place for business concerns. Mr Lloyd assured there would be at leasa a 50 ft. setback from the property line; also, that.body shops are not the noisy )laces they were at one time, and the design of the ~lding~will assure a genero~s ~setback from the East property line. Mr. Lloyd noted the site has been approved by General Mo,5ors Co. Mr. Weatherington asked wha't would happen if the body sh moved to the Northeast corner of the property, instaad of being placed in Southeast corner. Mr. Loyd said he could not ~a~swer this except that it ~ould appear the SE corner was selected because of easy access from Tumbtin Kling Road. J. W. Dicks0n, adjacent property owner, supported the peaition. Mr. Wood, Engineer, said that the buildings were located as they are, so that expansion, if required could be to the North. Also, the body shop was placed in the SE corner because of easy access to that site from the service area. The set-back from the East property line is 40 ft. Moved by Mr. Hogue, seconded by Mr. Gorham that approval of~the petition be recommended to the Board of County~Commissioners because it is general practice to locate automobile agencies and service facilities on arterial highways, adjacent property on the West side of U. S. ~1 was recently rezoned to B-~, and the petition was not opposed. Vote was polled and the motion carried unaniKously.

Prior to the public hearing notice of same was s~nt by first class mail to adjacent property owner: Ralph Fisch, Tr., 549 Pan American Bank Bldg., Miami, Florida. Merritt Taylor,~sident of Bryn MaWr Group, Inc. and Wm. Shiskin, architect were present. There are approximately sixty acres of ground in the entire tract, zoned A-l, and petitioners are asking for the rezoning of the North portion of the property so that it can be made into a resort-type development, with apart- ments, tennis courts, etc. One of their objectives is to retain as many of the tress now on the property as they can, with many of them to be replanted in the landscaping of the project. The South half of the property will remain in A-1 and will be developed for travel trailer use, as was originally planned for the entire property. The recreation facilities would be used for both developments. They plan to leave all the mangrove along the River as it is. Dr. Carter, Gene Warner, Jeff Mitchell, members of the Atlantic Shores Association, opposed the petition and generated a great deal of discussion. Mr. Taylor said that if their plans w:e.~.~e going to result in a great controversy they would proceed to develop the travel trailer site. A tel~e~ram was reeived from Ernest and Ruth Trueman opposing the petition. All of the people protesting live or own property a mile or more to the South of the Bryn Mawr property. Ransom Tilton spoke in support o f the petition. Said that Bryn Mawr Gropp plans to do a tremendous job which will, in his opinion, be very good for the North Beach. Mr.' ~a~lor and Mr. Shiskin presented renderings of the proposed development. Moved by Mr. Gorham, seconded by Mr. Hayling that approval of the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because the resort development proposed by ~r~r~~ ~rp. is feasible and natural for this location and it will eliminate~the travel trailer p~ect originally planned for the area which is good since there is sufficient land already set aside for this purpose in the County. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of James M.

Mr. Yarbrough said that he needs a change from B-3 to B-4 zoning because, for tax purposes, he is classed as a packing house. The entire structure is only as large as a coloring room in any bona fide p~cking house, and there is a retail sales ~rea in front of the building. The petition was not opposed. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded by Mr. Jackson that apprOval of the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because a packing house, with a retail sales area, is an acce~ted business along U.

Mr. Barrington stated they would like to have A-1 zonin.~ whether or not . the animals are permitted. Carl Wild, adjacent property owner, spoke in support oft']e petition. The petition was not opposed. Moved by Mr. W~eatherington, seconded by Mr. Jackson that of the petition be recommended to the .Board of County Commissioners bec would be an extension of A-1 .zoning, the petition was not opposed, the ar~a is isolated where the raising of animals would not interfere with any reside]tial development, and the Board of Adjustment has the power to place restrictions 3n the use of the land for raising animals and birds to protect adjacent property )wners.

It will be a new home and will be placed~behind a clump of cabbage palms and oak tress on this very beautiful lot. He will occupy the mobile home part of the time and his daughter will live there. David Dingman, adjacent property owner,said that he would like Mr. Taylor to get the mobile home zoning he is asking for for his personal benefit, but if the entire tract is zoned R-5 M.H. more than one mobile home could be placed on it. Felt that Mr. Taylor would do exactly as he said he would but eventually it could end up as a trailer park. Dorsey Johnson agreed with Mr. ~ingman although he did not oppose the petition. Mr. Taylor reiterated that he wants to place one mobile home on the South ~2/3_acres and the remainder of~ the property will stay as it is. Mr. Taylor agreed that he-.would amend his petition to include only the South 2.3 acres. The Commission agreed to approve such amendment. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded by Mr. Gorham, that approval of the amended petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners because the 2.3 acre parcel of land complies with the p~ovisions of the Comprehensive Zoning Resolution for placing individual mobile ~bmes and the reduced acreage Will allay the fears of adjacent property owners that a mobile home park might be developed on the site. Vote was polled, as follows: Ayes - Schenandoah, Hayling, Hogue, Gorham, Weatherington and Scott. Abstained - Jackson.

AVON MANOR SUBDIVISION= TENTATIVE APPROVAL Richard Helstrom of Biendor~' & Associates, Inc., Engineers, presented a plat of Avon Manor S/D, asking tentative approval subject to to final approval of the County Engineer when the following fi. ye (~5) points have been complied wi~h; which were outlined by the County Engineer in a letter to Mr. Hellstrom: 1. DRAINAGE - The drainage layout shown is the same as discussed;with you previously. However, until we receive elevation data on ithe proposed drainage system and its outfalls, we can only given tentative approval. If lo~s are nat crowned to bring all drainage to the street Right-of=way, a backlot drainage easement will be required. _ST L~C;IE ~0U~TYREALTH DEPARTMENT - ~e need a letter from'Bil.~ Richar~ds, C0unt~, Health Officer, stating that the proposed drainage system appears suitable for septic tank sewage disposal, in light of the soil condi- tions in this subdivision. UTIL~TY.-E~ASEMENTS. Utility easements are not shown. Submit drawings .fr~m. ~elephone and power companies showing proposed~pole locations to serve all lots. ~o. les may he t~ocated on the very edge of a drainage easement or maintenance easement. Guys or other utility paraphernalia shall not block usage of main- tenance easements. FRONTAGE - Your preliminary plat measures frontage on an arc at ~the front building set back line which is contrary to our measurement of frontage. Lot width at front~ set back line shall be determined on a lot wi~h~:~ non-parallel sides by extending the sides until they interse, ct~, bise:cting-the angle between the sides, coming in along bisector 2;5 ft. from street right-of-way line, and measuring width ~between sides on a perpendicular to the bisector. Se ANGL~ ~O~AQ~_¢~WE~S~!.~H~-OF-WA¥-- A~91e R?ad/ ~est, Right-of-way is shown as 50'. This shQuld be changed to 80' to include an additional 30' to the North that is owned by the County. August 26, 1971 (cont) Mr. Hellstrom stated he has talked with Florida Power & Tight Company and Bell Teleph0ne Company and has secured indications of where the ~tilitY easements should be placed. Mr. HellstrOm made special reference to four corner lots iwhich have less than the minimum 75 ft. frontage at t~?~ght~of-way line. Pr( that since these lots are larger than other lots '(in excess of 14,000 sq. .) that a variance be allowed permitting a setback line greater than for a normal let, suggesting 40 ft. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded bY Mr. Jackson, tha~ the preliminary plat of Avon Manor S/D be approved, subject to correction of the ifive points of non-compliance outlined in the letter of the County Engineer and the 75 ft. frontage for four corner lots being measured at a 40 ft. setback line. ~ote was polled and the motion carried unanimously.

B~ Jackson, Gerald Weatherinqton, and Harry Jennings; also, Albert Thomas, Zoning Director, Ralph B. Wilson, County Attorney, and Miriam Diem, Secretary. Proof of Publication was presented showing the petitions to be heard at this time were duly advertised. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - PETITION OF CECIL NEWTON, ET AL Mr. and Mrs. Newton and their attorney, Robert Lloyd, w~re present. Mr. Lloyd explained that Mr. Newton proposes to smll his property to Dr. James Wonnell, D.V.M.; Dr. Wonnell plans to construct a small animal clinic and his residence there. Mr. Lloyd presented a plan of the building Dr. Wonnell plans to construct. It is to be built of concrete and zonolite, sound proofed and without outside runs. This will be a clinic for animals operated just as a clinic for people is operated. It will not be a boarding kennell. Mr. Lloyd presented a petition, with 77 s{ignatures, as follows: "We, the undersigned property owners within three hundred feet (300 ft.) of that .property owned by Cecil Newton in Block 1, Pinehu.~t Subdivision in St. Lucie County, Florida, have no objection to the proposed change in zoning of said property from its present classification of B2 (Limited Business) to B-3 (Arterial Bsusiness) in order to allow the construction of a small animal clinic thereon". Mr.'Lloyd pointed out ~that 7"of the signatures are property owners within 300 ft., 3 of them having signed the petition presented by Mr. O'Laughlin on August 26, 1971, who have changed their minds. Mr. O!Laughlin;.attorney for Mr. Hipp, said Mr; Hipp continues to o~pose;!the petition:and, of course, has withdrawn his property from it. Referred' the the many locations already zoned R-3 where it would be possible for Dr. Wonnell to locate his clinic. Mrs. Tyson, adjacent property owner, asked how there could be assurance that none of-the objectiona:~le things in B-3 zoning could not be put on the property if it is rezoned. Mr. Tyson said no .other location on Virginia Ave. is zoned as low as B~3 and he would hate t.o see ~o see less restricted business on the road~ .-~ Mr. Lloyd responded to this by pointing _out that Virginia Avenue is a thoroughfare which is already zoned .business, and many of the things people object to under B-3 could really be.allowed under B-2~ . . -- The County'~Attorney called attention to the factzthat since Mr. Hipp has withdrawn.his.~property from.the petition, the~e is;the,.ques~on of. whether an adequate amount of land remains to be r.ezonsd. .~here is more than adequate frontage but petitioner's parcel does not me~t ~the requirement for 40,000 sq. ft. Mr. Wilson's written opinion on the matter was read, as follows; -., TO: FROM: MEMORANDUM September 9, 1~71 County Zoning Director County Attorney SUBJECT: c -~inimum size -of~ parcel for r~zoning ': . . ' The. second paragraph of subsection 2'of Section 22 of the Comprehensive Zoning Resolution reads "When a parcel of land has less ~amn200 feet of frontage and less th~n 40,0.00 sq. ft. of area; no amendment shatl~be enacted:to~.change the-~zoning class- ification except to the existing zoning classification of a property adjoining said parcel." In my opinion this means that for a parcel to be inelig~l.e for rezoning, it must have less than 200 feet o.f frontage and less than 40,000 sq. feet-of area. If~'it"contains'either~one or:the other; it may be rezoned. I realize that since County wide zoning was ad this paragraph has been interpreted to require at' frontage and 40,000 sq. feet of area. However, I to the fact that prior to the 1961 revision, it reac "and", and this change was not nOted by the zoning sequently, the policy of requiring 200 feet of feet of area has been continued. 1959, feet of is due than tment. Con- and 40,000 sq. Since the wording of this paragraph is confusi to say the least, I would suggest that at the next meeting of the & Zoning 'Commission we.discuss this matter. If said Co~ission decides that both frontage and area should be required, the should be amended accordingly. On the other hand, if the decides that only frontage or area is required, the resolution i~hould be amended to clearly state this fact. In reference to the Cecil NeWton petition for ~rezoning which was postponed from the August meeting to the September ~meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission, I would suggest that this! petition be heard by said Commission since the petition has 186.6 fleet of frontage on Virginia Avenue and 167.1 feet on 39th Street, althclugh his area is only 31,180 sq. feet. Moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Schenandoah, that the~ Commission accept Mr. Wilson's opinion that this is a legal petition and that actici~ on the petition be taken at this time. Moved.by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr..~eatherington, to ta~ble the petition until the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of County~omm~ss~oners' ' has an opportunity to act on Mr. Wilson's recommendation that p~agraiph~2 of SectiOn 22, C. Z. R., be amended or clarified. Mr. Thomas noted that if the petition is tabled for the rea~son stated, it would be approximately three months before there could be furthe~ action on this petition. Agreed that Mr. Wilson's interpretation could be acce!pted and action taken at this time. Vote on the motion to table was polled as follows: Weatherington. Nays - Schenandoah, Jackson and Scott. Ayes - Jennings, A member of the Commission inquired if Mr. wilson's interpretation is found to be incorrect, what effect would this have on this pe~iti.on. Ths~ ~hairman replied that if the clarification or amendment to the CZR is acted o~ prior to action on this petition by the Board of County Commission, it could effect it greatly. How- ever, this Commission makes only recommendations, no final'decis~iOns. Moved by Mr. Jennings, secOnded by Mr. Weatherington0 that ithe petition be denied on the grounds~-3 zoning would be lowering the zoning on ithis throughway and wo~ld adversely effect surrounding properties. Vote w.as~.po]led, as follows: Ayes - Jennings, Weatherington. Nays - Schen~ndoah, Jackson a~id Scott. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDED PETITION OF James A and JOHN W. Strange . C. R. McDonald, Atty, and Mr. Strange were present. ~Mr. ~cDonald said that petitioners definitely desire to develop the property for a mobile home sub- division. The land lies about Seven miles west of Fort Pierce a~d West of the Turnpike. Pointed out that mobile homes are here to stay, people want to live in them, and appropriate accommodations must be found .fori~them~ Petitioners plan to develop a medium-priced facilit~ Charles Becht, Atty., opposed the petition on behalf of Robert E. Branscomb; Howard Beville, Mattie Teague, Mrs. Prior, Edw. Pye expressed opposition. Mr. McDonald said that he attended a mobile home financin~ s~minar a few weeks ago and he was told this is exactly what would h~app~n% Stresse~ that a mobile home park Ks not what is proposed - that'a mobile home p~rk subdivision is the same as any other subdivision, the lots are large and meet all Ccunty requirements. Mr. Jennings inquired about plans f~r wa%er~and sewer. Mr. McDonald replied that septic tanks and wells are planned, but the Health Dept. will have the final decision on this. Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Jackson that the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. Vot~ was po~.led and the vote was as follows: Ayes - none. Nays - Jennings. Schenandoah, Jackson, Weathering- ton, and Scott. September 23, 1971 (cont) PUBLIC HEARING Petition of C. W. Crooks and ~Myrtle E.

Mr. Gilbert said that the land described is 160 acres in area, and that there is a dedicated road cut thru and graded from U. S. $1 to the SW corner of BlOck 4. The East end of this road is at U.

However, this 33 ft. r/w has never been dedicated, Spanish Lakes Mobile Home Park is being developed South of said Block 4. Mr. Jennings ~xpressed concern that the property under consideration might be part of. the land about which the county Commission is concerned as to sales by metes and bounds as 'residential property, where there are no dedicated roads. The property had not been viewed by any member of the commission. The petition was not opposed.

Mrs. Hilson and her attorney, Richard Neill, present at the hearing. Mrs. Hilson said she is requesting B-2 zoning for her property in which, classifica- tion she will be permitted to construct duplex dwellings. Plans to build two, costing approximately $2~,000 each. B-2 zoning would be a continuance of this classification which now exists on the South. Mr. Jennings inquired why B-'2 zoning was requested instead of R-2 which is a residential classification permitting duplex housing. Mrs. Hilson stated that when she filed the petition she was advised by a staff member in the Zoning Office to apply for B-2. Mr. Thomas said it is true that duplex dwellings are permitted in B'2 but if only duplexes are desisred R~2 would be adequate. Mr. Scott called attention to the fact the agenda indicates B-2 zoning is requested "in.order for the zoning to conform to existing use." Mr. Neill said this statement is incorrect because there are no improvements whatsoever on the property. December 2, 1971 (cont)-- The Commission inquired of Mrs. Hilson if she would object t which she replied that she would not if it permitted duplexes. agreed to amend the petition to request a change to R-2. R-2 zoning to e Commission Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Jackson that approval ~f the amended petition be recommended to the Boardof County ~mmiSsioners beca ~e duplexes would not change the residential character of the general area to the.' tst and North and they would be comPatable with the business zoning to the Sou and East of the Hilson property.

Also poin' .d out 18 units may be good for one area but not for another. Feels an enitre packi e ~should be pre- sented with each section of the County considered on an indiviu~ 1 basis. Mr. L~p~d asked, further, what exactly is'usable land.' Planned Unit Development came into the discussion and it was apparent the~e was confusion between Planned Unit Development and density, some people believing that PUD woUld serve as density control. Mr. Thomas advised 'that PUD has nothing to do with density; that it is a conglomerate of all types of uses in one area, done under one plan, and needs various types of zoning. Mr. Thomas summarized the actions leading up to the proposed amendment. The proposal for density control originated with the Atlantic Shores Association, who suggested 15 units per acre with a 3-story height limit. The height limit was later withdrawn. Various developers proposed many other densities. Then the staff suggested to the Board of County Commissioners a figure between 15 and 21 units per acre, and 18 units were acre were finally agreed upon. No one has really documented their figures. It was decided it would be best to provide some density control until proper studies can be made, which resulted in the amendment proposed. Wm. N. White, representing the Indian River Drive Freeholders Assn., said the proposed amendment was discussed by their association. They were unanimously in favor of a reasonable density control but many people thought it should be less than 18. Feel some action should be taken now and changed later if a change is deemed desirable. Mrs. Michael Cassell, Pres. of the South Beach Association, read a paper setting out the Association's support of progress and growth for the community but urging immediate action to control density. Anthony DolOzik, Realtor, opposed the proposed amendment saying it is, in effect, a moritorium on development in St. Lucie County. Jeff Mitchell, Atlantic Shores Association, stated St. Lucie County is not ready for tremendous growth and referred to ~fva~rum tax returns to prove his ]point on the desir.ability of low density. Pat Lally, developer of Inlet House objected to figures quoted. For instance, reference has been made to 2½ people occupying each unit. Mr. Lally declared this incorrect. ~t Inlet House 30 people occupy 20 units and there are 21 units per acre. Gerald James, Attorney, asked for a definition of 'usable land.' Mr. Thomas replied that land must be 5 above sea level for building and the proposed amendment was written to eliminate the swamp areas which, presently, are not permitted to be filled, being considered usable. Mr. James suggested a definition be arrived at and the community then be advised of it. He also sbjected to a~nsity control applicable to the entire county because it is not logical that a density control good for the beach area would be good for agricultural areas. C. F. Fawcett, No. Beach, urged favorable action on the proposed amendment and then further study to improve on.it, as necessary. Mrs. Fawcett supported this statement. Mrs. Howard Chubb supported the move for density control. Lloyd Taylor, contractor, expressed approval of density control but urged it be done geographically because one control will not serve the entire county. Opposed any moritorium. John Mendes referred to statements made about development of Johns Island in Vero Beach, which was used as an example of most desirable planning and con- struction, saying the density there is 28 units to the acre and the land is selling for $700 per front foot. Mr. Jackson excused himself and left the meeting. Mr. Gorham commented he considers the proposed amendment ambiguous, not meeting the needs of the County. Mr. Gates indicated he would go along with approving the~ proposed amendment but only as a stop-gap measure. Mr. Jennings noted that at the present time So. Indian River Drive, or portions of it, could be developed at 66 units per acre and he is not particularly opposed to this. Moved by Mr. indefinitely. ennings~, seconded by Mr. Borham, that the petition be tabled Mr. Gates said he could not vote to table. December 2, 1971 (cont) Mr. Scott gave the gavel to the vice-chairman and then said with Mr. Gorham the proposed amendment is inadequate but also ~ that it should be passed but only as a stop, gap measure. Mr. Scott again took the gavel. Vote was polled, as follows: Hogue, Weatherington and Scott. · Ayes- Jennings, Gorham. Moved by Mr. Gates, seconded by Mr. Hogue, to recommend app proposed amendment to the Board of County Commissioners as a stop because it is not reasonable that one level of density should app Lucie County; also, that intensiv~ study of the problem be contin an equitable rate of density may be determined for each section c early date.

We have made this review with regard to the improvements under the subdivision regulations as required by the GDoDp Housing Amendments. Our comments are as follows: The 8 unit apartment building down in the lower left hand corner of the project appears to have parking on a dedicated road right-of-way. Even though a 50' right-of-way was used in most instances on the Beach Club Colony S/D plat, the plat does designate the entire triangular corner which encroaches on the proposed parking lot as road right-of-way. It is our understanding that without a variance that this parking should not occur within the road right-of-way. You can correlate this with Director of Building & Zoning. '0 The parking lot just south of the cul-de-sac at building F, appears to go right up to the mean high water line. Unless a seawall is constructed along the mean high water line, a~diiional fill would have to be added beyond the mean high water line to form an embank- ment to' stabilize the earth at the westerly edge of this parking lot. We presume Mr. Montgomery intends a seawall at this location. 0 As construction is approaching the indicated mean high water line, it would seem that there should be con- currence from the State with regard to the mean high water line location before construction commences. By copy of this letter to the County Attorney, I am request- ing his opinion on this matter. 0 This development appears to be utilizing a cul-de-sac street longer than the maximum 700' permitted by regulations. The developer would need a variance on this item if street con- struction is to be in accordance with the S/D regulations. Some of the parking areas are shown abutting directly on the 20' width access street. It is my understanding that Item 20 a. (2) of the Group Housing Amendments intended that multiple unit developments have the same degree of street improvements as required for S/D's. I believe this would preclude parking on allocated street right-of-way per building and zoning requirements. From a safety standpoint, it i~desirable to have parking spaces abutting directly mn the 20' street pavement allocation. Vehicles will tend to travel at a higher rate of speed here as compared to a large confining parking lot. However, elimination of parking on the 50' street allocation will tend'to minimize any green areas on this parcel. With the space available on this parcel, it may be difficult ~o find an optimum solution, 0 The drainage facilities on this project should be able to be worked out with no problem. 0 Mr. Montgomery has indicated he will use seawall around the entire perimeter of the cove. Please not that these comments are on the preliminary layout, copy enclosed, only. " Mr. Montgomery reviewed the history of this development and asked approval of the preliminary layout presented. Because the Trustees of the IIF refused to approve the bulkhead line at the vegetation, original development ~ans have had to be amended to cope With the limitations on filling, etc. Density will be 12~ units per acre. The buildings will be constructed on pilings, over water, similar to Angler's Cove in Martin County. They will be twin villas, with each half being sold separately. December 2, 1971 (cont) Paragraphs 1 and 4 were given special attention, with Mr. explaining the need for Variance in each instance. Moved by Mr. Gorham, seconded by Mr. Hogue, that the Conm final approval to the site development plan as presented, cOntJ developer meeting all requirements of the County Engineer and t Building and zoning Dept.

Suit, adjacent property owner on the East, opposed the petition. Reminded the Commission that within the last 5 or 6 months the properties to the East and North of pertitioner's parcel have been rezoned to A-1 to provide a proper zoning for the agricultural activities carried on there. Also, referred to the M-3 zoning on the South. Mr. Suit express concern for his own business if he has residential zoning on the West and wondered if petitioner realized there is F~3 on the South. The chairman noted that should this petition be granted Mr. Suit would be subject to certain setbacks for some of his farming activities. Mr. Thomas agreed, saying since Mr, Suit's property is only 300 ft. + in width, this would preclude construction of any structures to house animals. Structures for hay and equipment require only normal setbacks. Mr. Thomas noted that in order to construct three homes on his property with A-1 zoning, petitioner will need 450 ft. of frontage on apublic road. He has 406 ft. and, if denied rezoning, he could petition the Board of Adjustment for a Variance for the~44 ft. needed. Moved by Mr. Weatherington, seconded by Mr. ~ennings, that denial of the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioner, S because the property has only recently been rezoned to its present A-1 classification, the requested R-lC zoning would create a hardship for adjacent agri~ltural interests, and petitioner does have recourse to the Board of Adjustment.

Bryan, Jr., Attorney, were present for petitioner. Explained Hughes Supply Co. wants to extend their existing business, utilizing the property described in this petition, which lies directly West of their present installation. The area would be paved and used for parking and storage. ~o~ed that adjacent properties to the North, East and Southeast are zoned B-4, so that this rezoning would be in effect an extension of an existing B-4 District. Ed Carpi said he is an adjacent property owner but did not receive notice of the hearing. However, in further discussion he said the notice had been received by Ruby Hickey, previous owner of his house, who had called him about it, but he had never received the nOtice itself. Opposed the petition on the basis that it would devalue his property. Bernard Smith said he has lived in his property for ten years. ~xpressed concern about traffic which might be generated on 37th St.; that there is a total of 31 children in the homes on each side of the street. Mr. Bryan explained that all traffic will enter and leave from Angle Road, as it does now; that the entire area will be fenced, the fence to be 30 ft. back for 37th St. Terry L. Kirts and Louise McClendon opposed the petition. March 23, 1972 (cont) Mr. Scott asked wh~ this 30 ft. had been included in the ~ea to be rezoned if it was not going to be utilized by petitioner for the business. Mr. Stephens explained they had just included all the property zoned but they planned to leave the 30 ft. as a green area of tress and shrubs and they would have no objection to the 30 ft. remaining in R-lC zoning. Mr. Bryan asked permission to withdraw the West 30 ft. of the parcel of land from the petition, which was granted. Moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Scott, that the petition'be granted, as amended, because ~his will provide space for expansion for a growing business and, at the same time, provide a green area to shield the activities of the business from the adjacent residential area. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously.

The written petition indicated that rezoning was desired so that Frank Rogolino would be permitted to establish an office in a building now existing on the premises. However, petitioner was not represented at the public hearing so that further information was not available. Mr. Sante Stella was present, and spoke in favor of the petition. He is interested in purchasing the remainder of the tract of land from which the property described in this petition has been extracted. .The purchase has not bee made, as yet. Michael Jefferies, ATtorney, opposed the petition on behalf of William W. Nowry, adjacent property owner. In examining a zoning map prepared by the Engineering Dept., it was noted that lots abutting So. 33rd St. are 310 ft. in depth, but zoned B-3 for a depth of only 200 ft, which leaves a strip of R-lC zoning between the 200 ft. strip of B-3 and petitioner's property. Apparently the map in the Zoning Department showed B-3 zoning to a depth of 310 ft., placing the property included in this petition adjacent to existing B-3 zoning. The County Attorney observed that if the map prepared by the Engineering office is correct, then the petitioner's property would not be eligible for rezoning because it would not be an extension of B-3 zoning and had only'160 ft. on a public road instead of the required 200 ft. 375 Moved by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Gorham, that the motion be denied. Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Hayling that the motion to deny be tabled to secure ct~ificat~n on the existing B-3 zoning and more information as to petitioner's planned use of the property he wants rezon~d. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING P~ition of Marcus O.

Stan Koller of Melbourne, stated he is the petitioner and owner of record. Explained that he was not in a position to reveal the plans for the land but rezon:ing is needed before they go into a series of expensive and delicate negotiations. Mr. Koller suggested that the rezoning be granted subject to approval of a site plan. The Chairman explained that it is not permitted to rezone subject to conditions. Wm. F. Willes, Attorney, said he was present representing propery ~wners in the area opposed to the petition. Presented a petition signed by 41 property owners. Mr. Willes showed a map of the aremvon which the properties of people opposing the petition were shown in red. Mr. Wiiles listed the following objections: 1. Character of neighborhood is residential. e The excessive depth of the property to be rezoned is questiDned-- what kind of business would need this much depth. 3. There will be islands of A-1 and B-2 zoning. 1-95 may be located 3/4 mi. East of Kings Highway. There is doubt that Kings Highway will be 4-1aned; in fact, it may revert to a country road. Under these circumstances, what kind of business would be desirable at this location. Mr. Willes asked the people in the audience who were present to object to the pm~i0n to stand, About 20 people did so. Mr. Koller said the "islands" of land are properties which the owners do not wish to sell. Further, as late as yesterday he had been in touch with the Department of Transportation and, from his contact with them over a period of time he does not think 1-95 is going to be constructed to the East. If it is constructed to the West, then Kings Highway will be 4-1aned. ~. Koller said they need the depth requested in order to carry out their plan. Plan a heavy buffer zoning.between the property for rezoning and Parkway Grove Estates S/D. There was discussion as to the status of a road thru Mr. Koller's property, an extension of Taro Avenue, West to Kings Highway. It is used by people from the Subdivision to give them access to Kings Highway. (The County Right-of-way Dept. confirmed there is a road of sorts which isused, but it is private and has never been dedicated to the County). Mr. Koller said his interests do not want any access to the subdivision. Mr. K~ller urged that the Commission recommend approval of the petition with the reverter provisions in the event the plan he will present is not acceptable, because the proper zoning is necessary before they can proceed with negotiations. Again it was explained this commission has no power to place conditions on rezoning, nor does the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Koller then asked that the petition be tabled. Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded'by Mr. Hogue that the petition be tabled. Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING Petition of Howard C. Self and Harry W.

Rt. 1, Box 532, Fort Pierce, fla Mr. Self andMr. Stewart were present at the hearing, Stated they are asking for R-2 zoning because they want to construct duplex dwellings on the property described. It lies adjacent to property already zoned R-2 on which duplex structures have been built. Ann B. Davis, Allen Morton and Robert Topper,adjacent property owners, opposed the petition. Mr. Topper noted that he has 15 duplex dwellings in front of him and, should this petition be granted, he would have similar structures to the rear of his home. The existing duplexes are nice but he said he felt the present property owners should be protected too. (The duplexes referred to are in B-2 zoning, where they are permitted). Moved by Mr, Scott, seconded by Mr. Hog,e, that the petition be denied because of the opposition of adjacent property owners and that a recommendation to this effect be made to the Board of County Commissioners. Vote was polled asa follows: Ayes - Davis, Scott and Hogue. Nays - Jennings and Gorham. 391 MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION A meeting of the St. Lucie County Planning and Zoning Commission was held at 7:30 P.M. on Thursday, May 25, 1972 in the COmmission Meeting Room in the Court- house at Fort Pierce, Florida, with members present, as follows: Gerald Weatherington, Chairman, Jack Gorham, Vice-chairman, Jack Scott, Harry Jennings and A. B. Jackson. Also present: Albert Thomas, Zoning Director and Miriam Diem, Secretary. Proof of Publication was presented showing the public hearings to be held at this time were .duly advertised. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - PETITION OF S. W. KOLLER Mr. Koller, Mr. Berenson, owner and developer of the property, and Devitt Adams, their attorney, were present. They Showed maps and an artist's conception of the proposed development, which included a number of baseball diamonds, and a large structure which would be used as !anconvention hall and jai alai fronton, with parking facilities. The baseball-facilities are designed for use of a big league team and negotiations are going on to secure such a team. The building would serve as an auditorium seating 2500 people when not in use as a fronton. ~ai Alai would be played 105 days each year. The contract with the baseball team cannot be finalized until rezoning has been accomplished. Mr. Adams further advised that they have been in touch with the State Depart- ment of Transportation because the proposed project would require the 4-1aning of Kings Highway. Also, last week had a meeting with some of the surrounding property owners to give them information on what is being planned. Some felt the base fields might be a little too close to their properties; therefore, they are willing to provide a buffer zone of 200 ft. Mr. Berenson has bought the land and paid for it and financing has been secured. The State Law provides that before a Jai fronton can be operated in a community a special election must be held to determine the will of the people concerning it. This has been arranged for and a check in the amount of $5500 has been deposited with the Clerk of Ciruit Court to cover the expense. Mr. Gorham asked about the road through the property which has been in use for many years and is, in effect, an extension.of Taro St. This is not a dedicated road, accepted by the County. Mr. Adams said that First Federal has given them a quit claim deed to the property. Advised that when meeting with adjacent property owners, they offered to donate 60 ft. along the South border of the property which would be extended North to Taro St. to provide the people in the subdivision continued access to Kings Highway. Mr. Bereson will build this road. Mr. Adams presented 3 letters supporting the petition, from 96 Corporation, Paul A. Corbiere, Pres., J.L.& S. Inc., Louis J. Sambataro, President, and Ernest R. Dunn, Secy-Tres. of Dunn Bros., Inc. Errol Willes, attorney for adjacent property owners, presented a petition in opposition, bearing 40 signatures. Only 8 of these signatures were those of persons included on the list of adjacent'property owners. Mr. Willes also presented a letter from Frank and Norma Hedger opposing the petition; however, the letter indicated Mr. and Mrs. Hedger were under the impression their property in the subdivision was to be rezoned. Reference was made to the number of peoPle present in protest, and ~hey were asked to stand. Approximately 20 people stood up. ~n~®m!y adjacent property owners were asked to remain standing. Mrs. Picos said she has no objections; in fact she is glad to see the plans for development. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Chambley, Ruth Cole, Charles Cox, and Charles and ~Edna Hewitt all expressed opposition to the petition. Mr. He,itt mentioned the tyPes of undesirable people the fronton would bring in, Mr. Borenson refuted Mr. Hewitt's statement and told of the high type people concerned with Jai Alai. 4-Laning of Kings Hwy. was again discussed. Petitioners expressed con- fidence in the assurances they had received from the Department of Transportation that 4-1aning and turn lanes would be provided. There was considerable discussion about the access road on the South and a buffer zone on. the East property line, with the following results: Petitioners agreed to provide 60 ft. on the South property line, and 60 ft. North to Taro Street in Parkway ~e Estates which ~would provide access to Kings Hwy. for residents of the S/D. Petitioners agreed to provide a 200 ft. buffer zone on the East Boundary of the property for a distance of 667 ft., from the ~outh boundary line No~th. Petitioners requested the petition be amended to delete the said 200 ft. buffer zone from the property to be rezoned. Request granted. Moved by Mr. Jennings, seconded by Mr. Gorham to recommend approval of the petition to the BOard of County Commissioners'because the proposed use of the land would mean progress for St. Lucie County, the rezoning was opposed by only a few adjacent property owners, and the generous buffer zone will protect residents of the adjoining subdivision and petitioners have what they consider a commitment from the Department of Transportation to 4-lane Kings Highway. VOte ~as polled and the motion carried unanimously.

Vote was polled and the motion carried unanimoUsly. April 27, 1972 (cont) PUBLIC HEARING Petition of W. R.

Mr. Rose explained that he is requesting this change in zoning so that he will be permitted to establish and maintain an office from which to manage his rental units. He wants to use his present home for the office, with an apartment ~nit for a manager. The present R-2 zoning permits duplexes but not an office. Mr. Rose has duplex~structures which he rents but after his experience in this rental business finds he must:have means of tighter control. There is no plan to do further building; in fact, this would be impossible because all available land is alraady utilized.

P 0 Box 227, Grant, Florida Ralph Flowers, Atty, was present representing Coca Cola Food Division, and Mrs. Senne who is agent for Coca Cola. The rezoning is requested so that a child care center can be constructed to be operated under the Coca Cola Agricultural Labor Project. This is one of the projects under the auspicies of the Fort Pierce/ Indiantown Community Development Corporation, a non-profit corporation chartered by the State of Florida, to provide services to members of the.corporation and their families. The facility would take care of approximately 100 children in a pre- school program. A similar project is already in operation in Indiantown. A copy of the Charter gra~ted the Fort Pierce/Indiantown Non-profit Organiza- tion was submitted with the petition for rezoning. Mr. C. L. Smith opposed the petition, and complained that he had not been notified of the request for rezoning. Said that he has a $25,000 home and doesn't want the noise and other annoyances which would come with the child care center. Mr. J. T. williams, adjacent property owners, opposed the petition. Pointed out that the petition indicates the property is to be used for a child care center but R-3 zoning permits many other things. Have enough 'problems with children and vandals now.

Bayshore Dr., Miami, Florida 3010 Woodring Lane, Fort Pierce, Florida P O Box 1641, Stuart, Florida 6744 Clayton Rd., St. Louis, Moc. P 0 Box 1705, Stuart, Florida Dean Tooker, Attorney, said he was present to represent Don Doran, prospective purchaser of the property and~the present owners, ~Mrs. Stokes and Mr. Dietz. Mr. Doran presented a sketch of the proposed development of the property described. There would be multiple dwelling units, a total of 954 units, constructed on the cluster plan, with parking areas and green areas. There are plans for a marina but essentially the shore li~e~would remain in its natural state.-. Mr. Tooker said they have been in touch with General Development Corp. con- ~erning water and sewage for the area. GDC was receptive to permitting a hookup with their facilities; however, it would require expansion of GDC water facilities before they could tie in. Whether this proposal works out remains to be seen. M~.- Fred ~itrus of General D~elopment. Corp. expressed surprise at Mr. Took~er~s statement about a possibility of tying in with GDC's~water and sewer facilities, because their facilities are only adequate. Mr. Tooker said Mr. Doran may go ahead on his own for water and sewage disposal but GDC has certainly made no commitment. ' Mayor Kavanaugh, City Of Port St. Lucie, said the lots on the East side of'Pruitt Road lie within the bounderies of the City of Port St. Lucie and are not zoned for multiple ~dwellings.~ Mr. Vitrus offered letters from a few of the owners of these lots who are opposed. HoweVer, it was determined that on the 1971 tax roll all these lots were owned by GDC. Mr.-Vitrus referred to the fa~t.that the North Fo~kkof the St. Lucie River at this point is an aquatic preserve and suggested that the matter should be checked with the State. The chairman noted that should this matter come to the point of development the State will take whatever action they deem necessary and all water and sewage facilities must be approved by the State Board of Health. Mayor Kavanaugh aga~in-sta~ted %hat the East side of Pruit Road lies within the City of Port St. Lucie, the l-ots there are ~ot zoned for apartments~ and~that he opposed the petition. .. ~oved~by Mr. Jennings, seconded~by Mr. Scott, that approval ~f the petition be recommended to the Board of County Commissioners, because residential development is right for this area, density would be controlled by County regulations, and State regulations would control utilities and ecological problems.
