(The North Merritt Island Special Advisory Board voted unanimously to deny the proposed rezoning and Binding Development Plan (BDP) for the 42 Acre Harvey Grove property just South of Calvary Chapel and behind the business warehouses on the East side of N. Courtney (see attached). The proposed actions would have increased the density of a planned housing development from 28 one acre properties to 80 units on 0.2 acres.
The reasons stated were: Violation of an existing BDP limiting the density, incompatibility with the character and historical usage of the area, increased traffic, lack of a passthrough and turning/deceleration lanes on SR3, incompatibility with neighboring properties zoned industrial Agricultural and Conservation, Surface water runoff/management, and just that the area does not have the proper facilities for high density development.)
