-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Staff addressed questions from the Board. Dr. David Cox, 9495 Periwinkle Drive, Vero Beach, wanted the Board to direct staff to withdraw the permit now, and reapply closer to the time of potential construction. Susan Boyd, 8025 25t" Street, Vero Beach, questioned the definition of"Tabled" and wanted the project stopped. Commissioner O'Bryan attempted to clarify that the word "Tabled" implies that an item would be coming back to the Board in the future, it is a postponed action, not a killed action. Yvonne Tso, 4164 Abington Woods Circle, Vero Beach, thought the project had been "killed." She wanted the permit to be withdrawn. Tom Ellsworth, 1414 21St Street, Apartment 5, Vero Beach, wanted the action that was taken at the October 21, 2014 Board of County Commission meeting to be defined, so there would be no misunderstanding. Vice Chairman Solari felt his motion had been clear. He said he wanted the project to be "Tabled" until the Lagoon was in better health. Corry Westbrook, 1955 3 d Street, Vero Beach, commented on a letter from Michael Nixon to Irene Sadowski, Chief of Permits for the U. S. Army Corp of Engineers, and felt the Board/staff had not planned to withdraw from the project. She felt the circumstances in three to five years might be different and a new permit would be needed anyway. Director Mora informed Ms. Westbrook that Mr. Nixon's letter was in response to Ms. Sadowski's letter, which gave two options - to withdraw the permit application, or respond with more information, which is why his response was as it was. Dr. Richard Baker, Sebastian, believed the boat ramp issue was going to be dead for three to five years. He believed that "Table" meant to stop the project, and did not think staff should move forward with the permits. Board of County Commission Minutes March 10,2015 Page 12
