MR. HOBERG EXPLAINED THAT THE $93,950 FOR HOUSING IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />IS NOT A LARGER AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY WERE STYMIED BY THEIR REGULATIONS <br />WHICH REQUIRE CENTRAL WATER AND SEWER AND HARD SURFACE ROADS. HE HOPED <br />THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO MORE WHEN THIS SITUATION IS CORRECTED. MR. <br />HOBERG CONTINUED THAT THEY ONLY HAVE EIGHT FARM LOANS IN THE COUNTY <br />BECAUSE THEIR PROGRAM IS GEARED TO THOSE WHO CAN T GET FINANCING ANY- <br />WHERE ELSE, AND MOST OF THE GROVES IN INDIAN.RIVER COUNTY WOULD NOT <br />QUALIFY. HE THEN DISCUSSED THE $1,483,950 OBLIGATED FOR ONE INDIVIDUAL <br />TO PROVIDE RENTAL HOUSING. HE BELIEVED THIS IS FOR SENIOR CITIZENS LOW <br />INCOME HOUSING IN THE CITY OF VERO BEACH IN THE SIXTH AVENUE AREA, <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT THE BOARD WOULD BE INTERESTED <br />IN KNOWING TO WHOM THIS MONEY IS BEING LENT BECAUSE THE BOARD COULD NOT <br />DETERMINE OWNERSHIP WHEN THEY CAME TO THE BOARD TO APPLY FOR A SEWER <br />FRANCHISE. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT THIS CAME UP AT THE REGIONAL <br />PLANNING COUNCIL, BUT WAS REFERRED BACK BECAUSE THEY ALSO COULD NOT <br />DETERMINE OWNERSHIP. HE WAS NOT SURE THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH EVER <br />APPROVED THIS PROJECT EITHER FOR THE SAME REASON. <br />MR. HOBERG THOUGHT THE NAME WAS VERO BEACH HOUSING ASSISTANCE, <br />AND STATED THAT THE NEXT STEP IS A DRY RUN FOR CLOSING AND THEN A PRE - <br />CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE. <br />COMMISSIONER $IEBERT AGREED WITH COMMISSIONER LYONS THAT THIS <br />• HAS NOT GONE THROUGH A-95 APPROVAL IN THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. <br />MR.
