<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Commissioner Neuberger inquired whether DiVosta had ever paid their fee to the Treasure <br />Coast Regional Planning Council, and Director Boling stated that it was his understanding that <br />they had paid the fee. <br /> County Administrator Joe Baird commented that there was no proof that such a fee had <br />been paid, and Chairman Ginn asked staff to confirm by telephone. <br /> Chairman Ginn then suggested that each of the commissioners visit Waterway Village in <br />West Palm Beach to check the quality of the product and get an idea what things need to be <br />changed. <br /> Commissioner Neuberger felt that he did not want to bring West Palm Beach to Vero <br />Beach and he did not care what the other projects were like as Indian River County has its own <br />rules and guidelines. <br /> Community Development Director Bob Keating noted that staff has had several meetings <br />with DiVosta since the Regional Planning Council meeting and has requested many changes to the <br />project. To date DiVosta has not met all the standards the Regional Planning Council would like <br />but they did reduce the number of units, reduced the density, moved the school site to a better <br />location and eliminated most of the cul-de-sacs. DiVosta will meet with staff for a pre-application <br />conference tomorrow, Wednesday, August 18 and staff has notified all the local governments and <br />groups requested by the Regional Planning Council. The Commissioners and public would be <br />welcome to attend tomorrow’s meeting at 9:00 a.m. in Conference Room A. <br /> <br />Bob Johnson <br /> wondered whether there would be any workshops or presentations by <br />DiVosta, and Chairman Ginn suggested that Mr. Johnson also attend tomorrow’s pre-application <br />conference. <br /> Director Keating stated that after the pre-application conference, the applicant will then <br />appear before the Technical Review Committee, then the Planning and Zoning Commission, and <br />then a public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> Chairman Ginn noted that there will be plenty of opportunity for public input. <br />AUGUST 17, 2004 18 <br /> <br />
