Joseph Schulke, 1717 Indian River Blvd., was not in favor of a moratorium Tony Donadio, 1665 E. Rosewood Court, was not in favor of a moratorium but he felt we need to implement a visioning process the right way and that takes time. Jerry Strom, 515 Greytwig Road, was not in favor of a moratorium. He felt it put uncertainty into the process and since he has purchased property in this county he wanted to know if this would stop the process. County Attorney Collins agreed that to some extent the applicants would be proceeding at their own risk because of the time span involved before the moratorium ordinance becomes effective. Lauren Connelly, President of the Realtors Association, supported smart and slow growth but cannot support no growth Richard Bialosky , 940 Oyster Shell Lane, was not in favor of a moratorium and suggested they reconsider Commissioner Davis’ idea of excluding pipeline projects. Rene Renzi, 301 Waverly Place, spoke in favor of the moratorium saying that it won’t hurt people instead it might work in their favor. Discussion continued regarding the process of a pre-application. Scott Sanders, 1196 Indian River Drive, was opposed to a moratorium. He told the Board they are trying to control the type of people who move into this county, not control growth. He said they are taking landowners constitutional rights away and it is going to bring about a ton of lawsuits. Keith Pelan, Kimley-Horn & Associates, said the imposition they are putting on the developer is going to hurt his business and they will be hesitant to sign contracts with his firm. Thomas Barnes Jr ., 602 Tulip Lane, spoke in opposition to a moratorium. After discussion, Commissioner Lowther rescinded his second to the motion and noted that this is a big issue.
