Attorney Glenn then presented staff's recommendation to open the public hearing, take public <br />input, and adopt the ordinance with any revisions based on that public hearing. <br />Commissioner Davis acknowledged that this was no different from the Surinam <br />Cherry or Guava, which are some of the many threats facing the citrus industry. He thought one <br />day they might want to look at an evaluation of this, should someone want a Guava in the future. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan, in regard to the requirements of State Statute that sales <br />could not be prohibited, asked whether the Board needed to send a letter to Tallahassee asking <br />them to modify that to approve this amendment. Attorney Glenn said the State was implementing <br />rules at the end of year that would go towards offsetting this problem. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. Seeing no one, the Chairman closed the <br />public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by <br />Vice Chair Bowden, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Ordinance 2007-036 amending the Indian River Code of <br />Ordinances, Section 913.07, procedures and requirements <br />for submitting and processing subdivision applications, and <br />Section 926.05, general requirements to landscape and <br />buffering regulations; to prohibit the planting of citrus <br />greening and Caribbean fruit fly host plants in new <br />subdivisions; and to prohibit the planting of citrus greening <br />and Caribbean fruit fly host plants in any required buffer <br />and landscaped areas, by providing for repeal of conflicting <br />provisions; codification; severability; and effective date. <br />9.A.7.
