Roger LaJoie, Esquire, 2546 Fairway Drive, representing Ms. Blakley, <br />commented that Mrs. Peterson had never approached Ms. Blakley about her problems with Dog <br />Kidz. He refuted several of Mrs. Peterson's assertions, and observed that his client had done <br />everything to comply with County Code. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan explained to Mrs. Peterson that her neighborhood was <br />not platted for ranchettes, but for agricultural land use. He felt that there were conflicting uses in <br />the County's agricultural land use designations which needed to be addressed, so when people <br />buy property, they would know what type of usage might occur on the adjacent property. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN <br />IO.B.5. REQUEST TO SPEAKFROMDR. STEPHENJ. FAHERTY. SR. <br />REGARDING SUPPORT FOR COUNTY RESOL UTION ON ELECTRIC <br />UTILITY REFEREND UM <br />Dr. Stephen J. Faherty, Sr., 2120 Captains Walk, recalled that on May 8, <br />2008, the Board had directed County staff to work with him to prepare an action plan for <br />implementing the pending Vero Beach Electric Utility Referendum. He read his report (copy on <br />file) to recap the issues experienced by the County residents residing in the unincorporated areas <br />of the City, and the Indian River Shores residents, who pay City Utilities but receive no <br />representation, and whose fees go into the City of Vero Beach's General Fund. He updated the <br />Board on actions taken subsequent to the May 8, 2008 meeting and informed the Board that the <br />Elections Office and the City Council have still not made any determinations regarding the <br />Referendum. He thereafter outlined the actions that he and County staff were requesting from <br />the Board, which included passage of a Resolution in support of the Electric Utility Referendum, <br />which would allow for the creation of a separate Utility Authority to replace the Vero Beach City <br />Utilities Commission. <br />26 <br />August 12, 2008 <br />
