13.A.2. PLACEMENT OF HOUSE IN FLORIDA RIDGE SUBDIVISION <br />(MOVED FROM PREVIOUS LOCATION FOR <br />REHABILITATION – ORDINANCE 2005-047 BONDING <br />REQUIREMENTS DELETED <br />Chairman Lowther advised of a meeting last night at Vero Highlands at which time <br />he received a letter of opposition concerning the moving of a house to their neighborhood. He read <br />a letter into the record and advised of a petition signed by 69 individuals. (Both are filed with the <br />backup in the office of the Clerk to the Board.)

If the house is not rehabilitated in an <br />expeditious time frame, the County will take action to have it removed and demolished; the <br />County would incur the cost of demolition and removal of the debris; and the County would put a <br />December 6, 2005 43 <br /> <br />
