Fred Mensing, Roseland, stated that he was impressed with <br />everything in the ordinance except Sec. 18-61 a, b and c, which <br />he felt can be sharpened up for the benefit of emergency <br />services. He felt there should be a requirement that the <br />lettering on the signs should be of a size that is readily <br />readable at night with a spotlight and in a certain location near <br />the front door. He also felt homes on large tracts should be <br />required to have their identification signs at their driveway <br />entrance, and did not believe the ordinance addresses that. Mr. <br />Mensing did not really like the idea of renumbering Roseland, but <br />he hoped staff could take a real futuristic look at the whole <br />unique conglomeration of roads there to see if something might be <br />done to help emergency services locate places more easily. <br />Director Keating agreed the Fleming Grant area is unique in <br />that the roads there run from southeast to northwest so they are <br />about in the middle of whether they could be called avenues, <br />which run north and south, or streets which run east and west, <br />and staff has looked at this very closely. As to visible numbers <br />and the location of identification signs on a large tract, <br />Director Keating felt the proposed ordinance deals with that by <br />requiring that "All buildings shall have an assigned building <br />number displayed in a manner such that the numbers are visible <br />from the public or private road on which the building fronts." <br />Anthony Cueto, Postmaster, Vero Beach, informed the Board <br />that he and Ms. Doody, Postmaster, Sebastian, who are responsible <br />for delivery of mail in 950 of the county, are here today to <br />share their concerns with the Board, and they have also asked <br />Maxwell Scott, Postmaster of the Melbourne area, to come with <br />them to speak about the problems he encountered with the proposed <br />system in the Palm Bay area. Mr. Cueto read the following <br />letter aloud and circulated to the Commissioners a copy of the <br />Mail Distribution Scheme that their employees have to memorize <br />and work from: <br />33 <br />BOOK 70 F,,A,E 70 <br />
