Attorney Collins said he would probably support Mr. Barkett when he comes <br />back because he thinks the sidewalk security creates an enormous amount of paperwork, money <br />shuffling, money holding, and accounting that probably can be secured in another manner <br />through Certificates of Occupancy. He felt the great fear was, if it is controlled only by CO, <br />there would be gaps between houses, which would leave the question of how to address that. <br />Mr. Barkett admitted that the Committee supports today's proposal for <br />sidewalks. <br />Chuck Mechling, 1999 Pointe West Drive, agreed with Mr. Barkett, and spoke <br />on the issues of maintenance bonds. <br />Penny Chandler, Indian River County Chamber of Commerce, supported Mr. <br />Barkett's recommendations. They appreciated how quickly this issue was moving forward and <br />the Board's willingness to work with small businesses. <br />Jeff Thompson, Seville Avenue, supported the one-year on the maintenance bond <br />issue, and hoped the Board would move forward. He supported staff's recommendation, except <br />for option B on the reduction of the bond. <br />Commissioner Solari asked if the ordinance, as written today, would take care of <br />the emergency problems for Mr. Thompson and others in the situation. He suggested that this <br />item be brought back in 3-4 weeks with a regular public hearing to address some of the details <br />talked about today. <br />Mr. Thompson, speaking only on his behalf, said "Yes." <br />February 17, 2009 7 <br />
