December 25, 1980 <br />Mr. Patrick B. Lyons, Chairman County Commission <br />17 Sailfish Road <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Dear Mr. Lyons: <br />7- <br />J <br />The suggestion that we have a member of the County Commission sit on the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission as an ex -officio member was presented at <br />our December 11, 1980 meeting. Margaret Bowman, Richard McCleary, John <br />Tippin and I were present. Although we are all eager to have increased <br />communication with the County Commission, we feel that having an ex -officio <br />member sit with us does not necessarily improve communication. <br />We would like to extend an open invitation to all the County Commissioners <br />to attend any or all of our workshops and hearings and listen to the dis- <br />cussions. We will soon have an agenda showing when the remaining elements <br />of our Comprehensive Plan will be discussed and hopefully be ready for <br />hearing. We would welcome your hearing the discussions and public input on <br />these elements. <br />In addition, the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission would welcome <br />some joint workshops with the members of the County Commission to discuss and <br />clarify policy, ideas and concerns, future ordinances, and the Comprehensive <br />Plan. All of us talking together would, I believe, increase communication <br />and understanding. One person carrying information and ideas from one group <br />to another always presents difficulties no matter how well intentioned that <br />person is. <br />Whatever your decision is, we of the Planning and Zoning Commission look <br />forward to working closely with you in the coming years. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Mrs. Karl H. Eggert, Chairman <br />Indian River County Planning and Zoning Commission <br />PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER COMMENTED THAT MRS. EGGERT'S LETTER <br />WAS WRITTEN LATER THAN HIS MEMO AND WHILE HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME- <br />THING MORE OFFICIAL, HE MAINLY WANTED TO HAVE BETTER COMMUNICATION. <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS AGREED WE DO HAVE A COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEM, <br />BUT FELT STRONGLY THAT THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION AND COUNTY <br />COMMISSION SHOULD REMAIN SEPARATE BODIES. HE SUGGESTED A WORKSHOP <br />SESSION BE SET UP TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION <br />AND AT THE SAME TIME POSSIBLY COME UP WITH SOME CHANGES IN THE SITE <br />PLAN ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE THE BOARD WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW <br />SITE PLANS OF THE LARGER PROJECTS AND DEVELOPMENTS AS PREVIOUSLY <br />DISCUSSED. <br />49 <br />nox 45 PAGE 69 <br />
