<br />th <br />James Sabonjohn, <br />2585 14 Street, Vero Beach wondered if agriculture declines <br />by 1/3 in acreage in St. Lucie County, will it free up usage in the South County Reverse Osmosis <br />Treatment Plant. <br />Baxter Costan <br />, Sebastian, was disturbed to hear that we need to restrict to a 2-day <br />watering system from a 3-day system. He asked the decision be made by a referendum. <br /> <br />Director Olson stated Indian River County has $40 million in projects planned this <br />year. <br />Dennis Ohlrich <br /> believed the reuse water is a negative issue and if we want to <br />make it a positive he felt there was a lot of work to be done. <br />Robert Adair <br />, Supervisor, Indian River Conservation, discussed the South County <br />well-field should it become incapable of drawing water. He was concerned with the use of <br />artesian wells on prior agricultural lands after they have been rezoned. <br />Rich Burk <br />, Hydrologist in the Palm Bay area, responded to Mr. Adair’s concern, <br />stating that artesian wells are capped and require a permit for a new use. <br />Brian Combs <br /> felt our landscape ordinances need to be reviewed. <br />David Cox <br /> stated that the Audubon Society, the Garden Club, and the Growth <br />Management Committee has addressed he irrigation concerns and the increase usage of native <br />plant material. They will be recommending LDR amendments to the Board at a later time. <br /> <br />Chairman Lowther adjourned the meeting at 3:55 p.m. <br /> <br />THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION IS ON FILE <br />IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF THE BOARD <br /> <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded and carried, the <br />Board adjourned at 4:00 p.m. <br />SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES 6 <br />November 9, 2005 <br /> <br />
