MR, KRAMER REQUESTED THAT THE MEMORANDUM FROM THE VERO <br />BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND EXHIBITS A, B, C AND D BE MADE A PART OF <br />THESE MINUTES. <br />THE BOARD AGREED AND THE MATERIALS MR, KRAMER REQUESTED <br />ARE HEREBY BEING MADE A PART OFTTHESE MINUTES, <br />• MEMORANDUM <br />May 20, 1975 <br />To: The Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />• <br />Re: Proposed "Master Plan" <br />INTRODUCTION <br />As you know, the Vero Beach Civic Association and related <br />property owner groups and citizens have been vitally interested <br />in establishing reasonable controls on growth in this County <br />and, more particularly in promoting adoption of an enforceable <br />comprehensive plan for controlling future growth. To that end, <br />we have carefully re-examined the history of such planning ac- <br />tivity in this community and our position in relation to the <br />present status of such activities in the County. <br />As a result, we are concerned that certain aspects of that <br />history may give rise to various bases for subsequent attack <br />against any comprehensive plan that may be adopted by the <br />County and thereby defeat its objectives and our purpose in <br />promoting such control on growth in the County. Accordingly, <br />in the broadest sense of civic input and our sincere intent to <br />assist you in your forthcoming consideration of this matter, <br />we submit the following summary of our review and analysis of <br />same. <br />HISTORY <br />Indian River County was created in 1925 under Chapter 10148 <br />of the Laws of Florida.

Pursuant to that authority, various <br />zoning ordinances and districts have been created within the <br />County. However, this SpeAal Act did not give Indian River <br />County the authority to enter into agreements with other govern- <br />mental agencies relating to the preparation and enforcement of <br />comprehensive planning. <br />Subsequently, in 1969, the Legislature enacted Chapt.• 160 <br />relating to "Regional Pla_2Ong Councils" and Chapter 163 rela-y <br />20 <br />JIJN 4 <br />3''nt 2J <br />
