� � s <br />Commissioner Bowman was concerned about removing 24 feet of <br />vegetation across 14 lots. She felt that if we want to keep Indian <br />River County green we need to preserve vegetative buffers. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating explained that this <br />is a case where this subdivision created double frontage lots and <br />we have a specific buffer requirement for double frontage lots. <br />The applicant has the ability to either create a six -foot -high berm <br />with vegetation, which would require a 24 -foot -wide area, or he can <br />do a fence. In this case he opted for a fence with some vegetation <br />and therefore we can release some of the required buffers so they <br />can put swimming pools back there. <br />Commissioner Scurlock clarified that, in fact, they are not <br />really removing all the vegetation. <br />Commissioner Bowman felt the land development regulations <br />should incorporate something to encourage more vegetation. <br />Director Keating said the new buffering requirements are <br />better. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 91-166 abandoning certain easements in <br />the Woodbridge Estates Subdivision, as recommended <br />by staff. <br />RESOLUTION NO. 91-166 - <br />X RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, <br />FLORIDA, ABANDONING CERTAIN <br />EASEMENTS IN THE WOODBRIDGE ESTATES <br />SUBDIVISION, ACCORDING TO THE PLAT <br />THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 13, <br />PAGES 24 & 24A OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS <br />OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA. <br />} WHEREAS, Indian River County has easements as describc:d <br />below, and <br />WHEREAS, the retention of those easements serves no <br />public purpose, <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County <br />Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida that: <br />9 <br />
