The Board and Planning Director Stan Boling engaged in further discussion <br />regarding developer vesting, and whether a limit should be put on the number of lots that could be <br />vested by a large developer. <br />A lengthy discussion ensued among the Board and Director Boling regarding <br />concurrency, vesting, and impact fees. The Board expressed concerns regarding the large <br />developers monopolizing concurrency, and discussed how to protect "the little guy." <br />Chairman Bowden re -opened the public hearing. <br />Bruce Barkett, Vero Beach, offered comments on impact fees and vesting as those <br />items related to developers, and the Board addressed his remarks. <br />Chuck Mechling, 1999 Pointe West Drive, spoke in favor of providing a sense of <br />security to the people who wanted to move their projects along, which he believed would be <br />primarily in the commercial and industrial areas. <br />The Board continued to make observations regarding vesting and concurrency. <br />Their concerns centered on structuring concurrency regulations so that large developers could not <br />acquire a monopoly. The Commissioners agreed that the permanent concurrency certificates <br />should apply only to entities not purchasing a large number of lots, and debated as to how many <br />lots one entity should be allowed to purchase in order to be granted the permanent certificates. <br />Mr. Barkett encouraged the Board to continue this item and not draft anything "on <br />the fly." For the record, Chairman Bowden agreed. <br />December 11, 2007 16 <br />
