J. Thomas Schlitt, 2053 U.S. Highway 1, Vero Beach, needs to obtain his building <br />permit by April 16, 2005 for his commercial project but due to hurricane damages to homes of <br />employees he does not have his site plan completed. He asked for an extension seeing as it takes <br />4-6 months to obtain building permits. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating emphasized that staff informs all <br />applicants of the requirements in the beginning and that they have strict rules and belived the <br />Building Department would not hold him up. Staff feels he still has time to meet his deadline and <br />urged the Board not to approve this request. <br />Under discussion, after Mr. Schlitt mentioned his concern with the Department of <br />Environmental Protection and the fees for running water at the site, Commissioner Wheeler <br />thought that the County could be responsible for some of Mr. Schlitt's delay in his project. <br />Chairman Lowther suggested going forward with the process and if Mr. Schlitt has <br />a problem they would look at the situation at that time. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br />9.B.3. PASTOR WILLIAM HOLD OF MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH <br />- REQUEST TO NEGOTIATE COUNTY OFFER FOR LAND <br />(NEW ADMINISTRATION COMPLEX) <br />Pastor William Hold, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, asked for an additional $40,000 for <br />the impact fees to the County's offer of $500,000 plus 2.5 acres of land in exchange for the last <br />parcel needed to build the new County Administration Complex. <br />County Administrator Joseph Baird said if approved by the Board this would be the <br />final and last offer. He reminded the Board that this is the last piece of property they need to build <br />the new Administration Complex. <br />There was discussion on the value of both properties involved and the responsibility <br />to the Board should they pursue the church property under eminent domain. <br />JANUARY 11, 2005 7 <br />
