He believed that building a cloverleaf would be the best choice since it would allow for <br />tournaments and bring in 20+ teams to compete. Ile addressed parking concerns and <br />recommended the Board move forward with a lease exchange. <br />Administrator Baird voiced concern over expanding the County owned facility since it <br />would not meet parking compliance. He wanted cooperation from the City of Vero Beach to be <br />able to complete the expansion project with long-term compliant parking. He felt it would be in <br />the best interest of the County for Attorney Polackwich to conduct the parking negotiations. <br />Discussion continued as the Commissioners voiced concerns over the lack of parking, <br />fear that the County would be forced to inevitably purchase adjacent property for parking, future <br />parking nonconformity, the City of Vero Beach leasing Minor League Baseball the 11.93 acres, <br />and compliance with City Ordinances. <br />Commissioner Wheeler said he would like to receive confirmation that the County is in <br />compliance with the City Ordinance, and that the County would have the proper parking. <br />12 <br />October 19, 2010 <br />
