CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHING A BROWNFIELD AREA NEAR 74T" <br />AVENUE AND 9TH STREET SW (LEGISLATIVE) <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />County Attorney Alan Polackwich stated that this item was of a quasi-judicial nature; <br />thus, the Deputy Clerk administered the Oath, pursuant to quasi-judicial requirements. <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating, through a PowerPoint presentation <br />(on file), provided background history and analysis on the request for the Board to establish, <br />through the Brownfields Redevelopment Act, a Brownfield area near 74th Avenue and 9th Street <br />SW. He explained that INEOS New Planet BioEnergy (which is not yet the official owner of <br />the Ocean Spray site where they propose to locate their facility), had originally requested that the <br />Board consider designating the property as a Brownfield area. Staff had thereafter thought it <br />would be beneficial to apply the designation to a broader area. Director Keating displayed the <br />boundaries of the proposed Brownfield designation, after which he requested that the Board open <br />the public hearing. He noted that a second public hearing would be required if the Board decides <br />to pursue the Brownfield Designation. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. <br />The following individuals spoke in opposition to the Brownfield Area designation for the <br />proposed area: <br />B.J.
