Mary McGuire -Smith, 6625 W. 82nd Avenue, agreed with Mr. Knight that <br />regulations needed to be tightened regarding the traffic impact from the number of trucks in and <br />out of the property daily. <br />Directors Boling and Mora responded to Commissioner O'Bryan's question of how <br />trips are monitored for stipulated amounts of trips per day. Chairman Wheeler agreed with Mr. <br />Knight's suggestion to table this matter and to go back to the drawing board and address the <br />concerns of mining operations, in ordinance form. <br />Mr. Sexton also agreed with the suggestion and hoped the County would look at the <br />different kinds of mining that could occur in the County. <br />Jorge Latour 2332 Vero Beach Avenue, attested to impacts from mining operations <br />on surrounding area residents, and thanked Chairman Wheeler for acknowledging the suggestion <br />to look further into the matter and to get more input from residents. <br />Susan Fransky thanked the Board and staff for its continued support of this matter <br />and for moving it forward. She thought permit holders were breaking the law, and shared her <br />safety concerns and disgust with the existing situation. She remarked that a law could not be <br />enforced if there was no penalty. <br />Administrator Baird responded to Ms. Fransky's comments about minimizing dust <br />and paving of the road. He agreed that there was not enough strength in the ordinance in the form <br />of a penalty, and that staff needed to work at stricter penalty and a bigger road maintenance bond. <br />Chairman Wheeler reiterated his views that the mining operations as a whole, <br />needed to be reviewed. <br />20 <br />October 23, 2007 <br />
