Commissioner Flescher could foresee a significant amount of cost factors and <br />imposition on area land owners and asked if there were any plans presently as to what we would <br />be able to do with this from the Historical Society. Director DeBlois responded to <br />Commissioner Flescher's concerns. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to approve <br />Option 1, denying the application. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan said he had questioned this issue in the past, and he has <br />looked at the intent and purpose of the designation (to encourage commerce), but he saw a lack <br />of support from property owners for the designation, and saw it as potential for a lawsuit. He <br />supported the Motion. <br />Vice Chairman Davis understood the residents' concerns and was in favor of <br />maintaining history, but he could not put the health, safety and welfare of the people in jeopardy. <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked if anyone knew when the crossing was granted <br />across FEC Railroad or whether anyone knew when the road was paved. Getting no response, <br />he said he concurred with what he had heard (in opposition to the designation). <br />Chairman Bowden agreed that health, safety and welfare was our premium policy. <br />She favored the Motion. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />Motion carried unanimously. The Board DENIED the <br />Petition. <br />The Chairman announced that she had a request to move up Item 10.A.3., ahead of <br />Item 10.A.2. Board members consented. <br />17 <br />July 8, 2008 <br />
