Regarding the Affidavit of 8 versus 19 exemptions, Mr. Robinson said the original 19 <br />came about because it was determined that that was right under two hundred (200) trips <br />and these were on dirt roads. He believed that when we go to paved roads we kill the <br />ranchettes economically. He thought we should focus on the issues of foreclosed homes, <br />and vacant lots if we are going to do an evaluation, and that now was the time to look at <br />our statistics and land use. <br />Commissioner Wheeler said he was one of the proponents to keep the 19 <br />units affidavit of exemption versus 8 and spoke about people living on dirt roads who <br />want the County or taxpayers to pick up additional cost or maintain those roads, which <br />was a concern of his. Discussion ensued with Mr. Robinson regarding people living on <br />private roads and whose responsibility it was to maintain those roads. <br />There were no other speakers and the Chairman closed the public input <br />session. <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT <br />Phil Matson of the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning <br />Organization (MPO), through a PowerPoint presentation, outlined the objectives and <br />goals of the Transportation Element, specifically Objectives 1, 2 and 9. He pointed out <br />that they have achieved ten (10) of their thirteen (13) objectives; one was not achieved, <br />and two were not yet due. <br />(Clerk's Note: Vice Chairman Davis exited the meeting at 2:35p.m.) <br />10 <br />October 20, 2008 <br />Public Workshop <br />
