AUS �9�9 Boa 77 Commissioner Eggert pointed out that Policy 7.3 in the new blue sheet refers to "environmentally important as defined in policies 5.4 and 6.11 of the Conservation Element," and Director Keating confirmed that staff tried to eliminate too much dupli- cation by cross referencing. Mrs. Offutt again wished to stress that it is important to keep the cost factor of providing all this information in mind. Carol Johnson, representing Citizens for Progressive Action, applauded staff for putting in the references to Policies 5.4 and 6.11, and also urged that we do not consider "sensitive" and "important" as interchangeable. Commissioner Eggert pointed out that is why we have decided we are going to "sensitive/ important." Mrs. Johnson felt that is fine; that it will give you more flexibility and will give more control of a larger area, but the control she felt will be more flexible rather than having it all encompassing under sensitive. Director Keating confirmed that it is much less stringent. OBJECTIVE 8 PROTECTION OF HISTORIC RESOURCES Indian River County will provide for the preservation and protection of historic and archaeologically significant sites, and structures. Commissioner Bird referred to POLICY 8.1, noting that we have the Historical Society, and he did not see why we have to have an Historical Commission also. It was explained that staff has submitted a new white page dated 8/22/89 with POLICY 8.1 to be as follows: POLICY 8.1 A committee on Historic Resources shall be appointed as necessary to provide guidance and advise the Board of County Commissioners on matters concerning historic and archaeological preservation. Committee members should represent a broad base of county interests and have interest in and knowledge of historic matters. 18
