DANA HOWARD OF CARTER ASSOCIATES, INC., APPEARED REPRESENTING MR. JIM MEADE AND EXPLAINED THAT A PLAT OF BANYAN ACRES HAD BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD AS A ONE -ACRES SUBDIVISION ON OCTOBER 23, 1974. THIS PLAT, HOWEVER, HAS NEVER BEEN RECORDED, AND THEY ARE NOW REQUESTING THE BOARD TO RECONSIDER THIS PLAT AS REVISED TO ONE-HALF ACRE LOTS. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THE PLAT WAS FINALIZED WHEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD AND WHETHER IT WAS RECORDED OR NOT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT WAS HIS OPINION THAT SINCE THERE WAS FORMAL ACTION BY THE BOARD TO ACCEPT THIS PROPERTY, THIS PLAT MUST BE VACATED BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE, CHAIRMAN LAY ASKED IF THIS WERE VACATED, WOULDN'T THEY HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH TENTATIVE APPROVAL? ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS SAID THAT IT WOULD CALL FOR A COMPLETE NEW PLAT WHICH WILL REQUIRE PAVING OF THE ROAD IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS. IT WAS GENERALLY FELT THIS WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SUBDI- VISION REVIEW COMMITTEE AND WAS POINTED OUT THAT ONCE A PLAT IS APPROVED, IT CAN BE RECORDED AT ANY TIME, MR, HOWARD STATED THAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL NOT ALLOW REPLATTING FROM ONE TO HALF ACRE LOTS. HE ALSO SAID THAT SINCE THEY ALREADY HAD FINAL APPROVAL ON THE ORIGINAL PLAT, THEY WOULD LIKE TO SKIP GOING THROUGH THE TENTATIVE APPROVAL PHASE AGAIN, IF POSSIBLE, COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT IT MIGHT BE WISE FOR MR, HOWARD TO TAKE THE NEW PLAT BEFORE THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW COMMITTEE BEFORE VACATING THE OLD PLAT. MR, HOWARD SAID THAT HE WILL MAKE A NEW PLAT AND TAKE IT BEFORE THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW COMMITTEE IN ITS FINAL FORM. THE ADMINISTRATOR INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD IN REGARD TO MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS FOR THE SCHOOL BUSES AS FOLLOWS: -12- SEP 2 41975 800k 23 eAGE335
