E-7 child care center in Fellsmere for children of employees and migrant workers in this county. He expressed his thanks to everyone who has been concerned with this issue and who has worked on it over the last 6 months. This issue has evolved from iust a provision for a child care center to become an avenue for a small business to be established in a more rural part of this county outside of the urban service area without the necessity of a lot of front-end cost requirements put on it by site plan expenses. Considering the economical times, Mr. Graves believed that the residents of this community would greatly benefit by these amendments if adopted by the Board. Considerable time has been spent on this by staff, this Commission, the P&Z and the PSAC, and this issue has been thought through very thoroughly. He recommended that the Board adopt the paving waiver with the 12 criteria with the exception of requiring a base material in criterion #8. The only thing that would be left out is the 1 -inch of wearing surface (asphalt); everything else would still be required. Mr. Graves pointed out that many existing parking lots in this county do not have any base material as a wearing surface, just a subgrade that is compacted and is made of natural soil. He has two such parking lots at Graves Brothers, Inc. on which they park loaded semi -trailers and all kinds of heavy farm equipment and have done so for years and years. Except for occasional grading, the surface is quite sufficient and has provided all of the parking they need. Commissioner Scurlock asked how we would monitor the requirement for grading, and Director Boling explained that criterion #9 addresses that through a required driveway maintenance plan. If those requirements are not met, it really gets down to code enforcement. Commissioner Wheeler asked what happens when these areas are no longer out in the country and they begin to generate commercial areas. 11 APR 0 8 199 L
