The Vero Beach City Council voted 4-1 on Wednesday to approve the conceptual site plan for the development of the former ‘Crusty’s site’ near Humiston Park in Vero Beach Florida. The proposal includes money to expand the current 49-space parking lot in the southeast section of the park farther west to add 23 spaces.
Flamevine Properties I LLC proposes to build 3,487 square feet of retail space, 12 residential units and a 2,872-square-foot restaurant at the site of the former Crusty’s restaurant, which sits next to Corey’s Pharmacy, another Vero Beach landmark.
Part of the project calls for the city to abandon the north half of Flamevine Lane, although it will still be kept open for public access to the beach. While most of the overflow crowd at Wednesday morning’s meeting appeared to be in favor of the alternative proposed by Fromang, there were some people who did not want any intrusion into the green area of the park or the abandonment of the Flamevine Lane right-of-way.

The Vero Beach Museum of Art is the fulfillment of the combined efforts of two community-based arts groups: the Vero Beach Art Club, a nonprofit organization established in 1936; and the Alliance for the Arts, a separate nonprofit established in 1978 solely to create a regional Museum for the appreciation and teaching of the arts and humanities. The partnership raised $2.5 million from local private sources. The Vero Beach Museum of Art opened its doors to the public debt-free on January 31, 1986.
The Museum is the principal visual arts facility in a region of more than 800,000 residents and millions of tourists. The Museum’s neoclassical structure commands a premiere position in the 54 acre Riverside Park, along the scenic Indian River and serves more than 75,000 residents and visitors annually through exhibitions, collections, gallery tours, studio and classroom art and humanities education for youth and adults, cinema, community events, lectures, seminars, concerts, dramatic performances, special youth events and cultural celebrations. It is applauded as the cultural and recreational heart of the community.
