Bax 87 fnu 783 <br />Wax myrtles are fast growing if properly irrigated,' and the size <br />ranges suggested by both Mr. Schlitt and Rockridge residents <br />include a six foot myrtle height. It is staff position that a six <br />foot height at time of planting would be appropriate, with the <br />condition that the plantings be irrigated and maintained for <br />maximum growth. <br />Alternatives <br />The Board of County Commissioners has several alternatives. One <br />option would be for the Board to order mitigation for the illegal <br />land clearing. This mitigation could correspond to Mr. Schlitt's <br />proposal, the Rockridge property owners' proposal, or other <br />parameters. As part of this option, the Board could authorize <br />staff to pursue code enforcement or legal action if any ordered <br />mitigation is not undertaken. Alternatively, the Board can take no <br />action. <br />RECOMMMATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners require Mr. <br />Schlitt to plant a wax myrtle buffer along his south property line <br />within six months, with the myrtles being six feet in height at <br />time of planting and planted on five foot centers. The staff also <br />requests that the Board authorize staff to pursue code enforcement <br />or legal (court) action if the referenced mitigation is not <br />undertaken within the referenced timeframe. <br />Indian River County Commission <br />Indian River County <br />Administration Building <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960-3394 <br />Dear County Commissioners: <br />Please refer to our Rockridge Property Owner's AssociXffon <br />letter of October 14, 1991, Roland DeBlois' letter to <br />Louis Schlitt dated August 27, 1992, and Louis*Schlitt's <br />letter to Roland DeBlois dated September 1, 1992. <br />Be aware that we have received no satisfaction in this matters <br />the canal bank continues to erode, and we still have no sight <br />and sound barrier, per your mandate last November for him to <br />restore our privacy. <br />We are not appeased by Louis Schlitt's statements in his <br />(above referenced) letter and feel it is up to you, as a <br />Commission, to defend our position as county residents and <br />voters. _ <br />My neighbors and I request a hearing with th <br />Tuesday, September 28 to discuss the ongoing <br />by Louis Schlitt's inactivity and continued <br />shoreline &tabilization work and replacement <br />vegetation removed August 1, 1991. <br />Sincerely, <br />Patricia G.
