Chairman Davis explained to Ms. Renzi that the pressure to change the regulations came <br />from area residents who had problems. <br />Charlie Wilson, 1057 6th Avenue, applauded staff and Commissioners for taking this <br />step and said it is another step in helping economy development and helping us get people <br />employed in the community. He supported staff's recommendation and said a $5,000 cap would <br />only be good if you have a small project. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher explained that the suggestion of the $5,000 cap was merely to <br />reduce the fear of concern of any other commissioner that felt that this might be a little too lax or <br />lucrative of a move, for a developer or a builder. <br />Joseph Paladin, President of Atlantic Coast Construction and Development and <br />President of Black Swan Consulting, said he was afraid we are trying to legislate common sense; <br />and you cannot pass rules and regulations to legislate commonsense. He said we need to be very <br />careful with some of the changes we are making, and he did not see a problem with our <br />Certificate of Occupancy (CO) or Certificate of Completion (CC) system. <br />Further discussion ensued among Commissioners, Mr. Paladin and Mr. Wilson regarding <br />the 90 days extension; whether appeals should be made to the Board of Adjustment or the Board <br />of County Commissioners; and giving authority to Administrator Baird or his designee to grant <br />approvals. Chairman Davis agreed with Commissioner O'Bryan's suggestion that an appeal of <br />staff's decision should be made to the Board of County Commissioners. All Commissioners <br />were willing to attend any Special Meetings called in that regard. <br />May 19, 2009 16 <br />
