Davis <br />District 1 <br />Joseph E. Flesclier <br />District 2 <br />Dear Governor Scott, Representative Mayfield and Senator Haridopolis: <br />Bob Solari <br />District 5 <br />At their meeting of February 7, 2012, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian <br />River County discussed the impacts of the amendments contained within the 2010 <br />Florida Building Code. Most importantly, the Board was concerned about potential <br />financial impacts to residents concerning the increased wind speed protection <br />requirements creation and adoption of the accessibility code and replacement of the <br />Honda Energy Code with the Florida New Energy Conservation Code. <br />While my fellow commissioners are generally pleased with the results achieved from <br />the 2001 unified code, they are troubled by the lack of information available concerning <br />1801 27th Street, Building A <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960-3365 <br />Telephone: 772-226-1490 FAX 772-770-5334 <br />
