Community Development Director Stan Boling stated <br /> that he had tried unsuccessfully to obtain a list of local <br /> Group Homes from the State of Florida's Agency for <br /> Persons with Disabilities (APD). He pointed out that <br /> although the State is responsible for licensing, the <br /> small Group Homes must still comply with the County <br /> Building Code. <br /> Scott McAdam, Building Official, discussed the <br /> County's basic requirements for Group Homes. <br /> Tim Askew, homeowner at Glendale Lakes, voiced <br /> concerns about the prospective Group Home that is <br /> being planned for his neighborhood, and stated that <br /> the owner must have business insurance. <br /> The Board CONSENSUS was to direct staff to: (1) <br /> request that Representative Debbie Mayfield help the <br /> County obtain a current list of all Community <br /> Residential Homes in the County; (2) review the list to <br /> check for compliance with the Building Code; and (3) <br /> ensure that the County receives notifications of new <br /> Group Homes. <br /> Commissioner Zorc stated that he would keep the <br /> residents of Glendale Lakes informed on the status of <br /> the Group Home that is coming to their community. <br /> 1:12 2.
