Commissioner Macdonald reported on the meeting he attended in <br />Salerno with representatives of Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee county ;: <br />concerning the vocational adjustment department program of the physically <br />handicapped. The program has been supported by local contributions but <br />they are getting to the point that they can no bnger keep the program <br />going and want to turn to over to the four counties and move to Ft. Pierce. <br />He stated that he felt it was a very desirable institution and could grow <br />into something that would be very beneficial to the area but cautioned <br />that, while it was a very worthy project, it will take money, and felt <br />the Board should very carefully weigh the merits and desirability against <br />the costs and decide whether it would be desirable to the citizens of <br />our county to have such a facility. Commissioner Macdonald was re- <br />quested to arrange for someone to discuss the matter further with the <br />Board at their next regular meeting. <br />At the request of Mr. Thomas H. Trent, Civil Defense Director, <br />Motion was made by Commissioner McCullers, seconded by Commissioner <br />Waddell and unanimously carried, that Mr. Trent be authorized to purchase <br />ten (10) uniforxnsfor the communication division of the CD organization <br />and to pay an additional $20.00 for the extra section of the antennae <br />tower which will make it 80 feet. These expenditures will be made from <br />Civil Defense Funds received through the sale of surplus equipment. <br />On Motion by Commissioner Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner <br />Waddell and unanimously carried, the following general policy was adopted <br />with respect to fences: <br />A building permit is not required for any open type fence such <br />as a chain link or a three rail board fence not more than six fee in <br />height and shall be allowed in front, side or rear yards following the <br />property line. <br />A building permit is required for any type fence over six feet <br />in height, any solid board fence, or any wall, or fence which requires <br />a continuous type footing.
