<br />3.REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM JOE PALADIN, GROWTH <br /> <br />AWARENESS COMMITTEE, REGARDING THE WAIVING <br />OF FORM BOARD INSPECTIONS FOR DIVOSTA <br /> <br />Joseph Paladin, <br />Chairman of the Growth Awareness Committee, 6450 Tropical <br /> <br />Way,reminded the Board of Divosta’s request to waive form board surveys that they approved on <br />May 16, 2006. He felt the Board did not clearly understand what they voted for. He discussed <br />steel inspection and alluded to conflicting information he got regarding inspection of steel. He <br />could not see the urgency of Divosta wanting to build houses in less than 50 days and felt the <br />Board should not waive the process just because Divosta is able to put up a $100,000 Bond. He <br />believed they should follow the rules and procedures of the County. <br /> <br />Chairman Neuberger did not think it was an urgency but was time-saving for the <br />developer and the County. <br /> <br />Director Bob Keating admitted the information that there were no inspections was <br />incorrect. He explained what happened. <br /> <br />Chairman thanked Mr. Paladin for his comments. They further discussed the <br />agreement with Divosta and affordable housing cost. <br /> <br />Spencer Simmons, <br />Simmons Construction, argued that form boards has other <br />elements one of which was elevation that result in flooding if not properly done. He felt everyone <br />was bending over backwards for large builders at the expense of everyone else in the County and it <br />was all about building houses faster. <br /> <br />November 7, 2006 <br />28 <br /> <br />
