He also mentioned that at the February 21, 2017 County <br />Commission meeting, he would be presenting a request to name the Gifford <br />Park complex after Victor Hart, Senior. He noted that Mr. Hart would also be <br />receiving a Proclamation at that meeting. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to <br />direct staff to move forward with the process of designating the Gifford football <br />field as the Wilson-Chisolm Field, in honor of William H. "Chicken Shack" Wilson, <br />Jr. and Scott Chisholm. The motion carried by the following vote: <br />Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, <br />Commissioner Solari, and Commissioner Zorc <br />E. Commissioner Tim Zorc <br />14.E.1 17-0166 Request to Discuss Scheduling a Meeting on the Development Review <br />Process <br />Recommended Action: Discussion <br />Attachments: Commissioner Memorandum <br />Commissioner Zorc outlined his request for a public workshop meeting to <br />discuss some issues which have come to his attention regarding delays in the <br />plan review and permitting processes. He wanted to have participation from the <br />County's Planning, Building, Public Works, Emergency Services (Fire <br />Inspectors) Departments, and open the meeting to engineering professionals, <br />developers, property owners, and other interested parties. He mentioned that it <br />would also be beneficial to have participation from the City of Vero Beach's <br />permitting bodies. The purpose of the open meeting would be to review the <br />County's current regulations, and determine what changes or procedures could <br />be implemented to expedite permitting and address any issues upfront, and not <br />at the time of Certificate of Occupancy. <br />A lengthy discussion ensued, which included deliberations about the potential <br />meeting site, date, time, format, and goals for the meeting. The Board <br />consensus was that Commissioner Zorc would chair the meeting, formulate <br />agenda topics, and provide structure to the forum. <br />Vice Chairman O'Bryan remarked that delays could be on the side of the <br />developers and building professionals; they are not always the County's <br />responsibility. He also pointed out that the Fire Inspectors have a heavy load <br />and inquired about the possibility of increasing staff. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 12 <br />
