administrative procedures, the Planning and Zoning Commission's <br />determination would be final, unless appealed to the Board of <br />County Commissioners. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the <br />revised proposed Road Addressing System Ordinance. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if the ordinance as revised would <br />preclude having two signs, i.e., a second historical type sign <br />which looks entirely different from the officially numbered sign. <br />Planner DeBlois advised that the revision would not affect <br />existing road designations; it is geared for new roads. <br />It was noted there are several roads with historical names <br />that have lost their signs already. <br />Chairman Scurlock informed the Board that the following <br />letter has been received from the Historical Society supporting <br />retaining the historical names. <br />VERO STATION 1916 <br />Indian River Counly <br />HISTORICAL <br />SOCIETY <br />INC. <br />P.0 Box 6535 <br />Vero [leach.
