pr - FEB 161988 BOOK • 70 PAGE 862 County Attorney Vitunac pointed out that the Board of Adjustment has found that this was an expansion of an illegal use. The Commission has found that there should be no fine for that because the expansion was done in good faith. However, that still leaves the problem that it is a continuing illegal use which can be corrected only by .changing the zoning or by changing our whole code. Commissioner Eggert continued to stress consideration must be given the act of "green belting," and Attorney Vitunac commented that he needed to have a definition of "green belting" because Florida doesn't have a "green belt" law. Commissioner Eggert noted that if you are in an agricultural business, you know you must put in papers every year to prove you are an active legitimate agricultural use in order to get your proper tax status. Chairman Scurlock felt we have to address the zoning; other- wise you will inevitably have someone who will try to circumvent the code. Commissioner Bird asked Attorney Cooksey if he felt his clients would have any problem with their property being zoned agricultural to be consistent with its use. Attorney Cooksey noted they had their day in court, so to speak, before the Board of Adjustment. His argument was that what they did was an intensification and that was not an expansion. He believed the Board of Adjustment's attorney, Mrs. Brennan, gave them a strict interpretation of the law, and the Board held it was non -conforming. He continued that they asked the Board of Adjustment to hold off so his client could determine if they were going to appeal. Based on what the Commission did today, they probably will not appeal, and if that Board requires them to take out the trees, they will do so. Commissioner Bowman stated that she would rather see them restore the buffer. 44
