<br />th <br />Jens Tripson, <br /> 2525 14 Street, thought the County should start planning to drink potable <br />water in the North County Marsh area. “The idea sounds good if we use some of that water for <br />citizens,” he said. <br /> <br />Robert Johnson <br />, Coral Wind Subdivision, spoke in favor of the workshop. <br />Judy Orcutt <br /> felt the property should be acquired under the Land Acquisition Funding so it <br />could stay zoned as Conservation. <br /> <br />George Christophe, <br />member of P&Z,inquired if the County has a written commitment <br />from SJRWMD to turn that land into a Conservation area. Upon hearing the response from staff, <br />he urged the County to table this item and hold a workshop. <br /> <br />Donna Keys <br />, Chairman of P&Z, stated that she was compelled to vote in favor of this item <br />at the P&Z meeting. <br /> <br />There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Davis did not want to table this item. He was concerned if the Board does <br />not get the answers needed this item could be defeated. He also was concerned with the issues <br />regarding getting wells permitted, and believed this is an alternative supply that Indian River has to <br />have. He mentioned he would like to be added to the list of future areas of concern for water <br />supply in the next 20 years. <br />Administrator Baird recommended moving this forward, and scheduling a special agenda <br />workshop with several hours to work out the issues. He suggested that SJRWMD attend to meet <br />with staff and other interest groups. <br /> <br />Chairman Neuberger did not see it as a necessity at this time. <br /> <br />October 24, 2006 <br />46 <br /> <br /> <br />
