The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously granted special exception use approval to construct a North County regional reverse osmosis water plant, as recommended by staff. STATUS REPORT ON BEACH GRANT APPLICATION Administrator Chandler reported that as a result of last Thursday's special BCC meeting concerning beach preservation, staff met last Friday to look at the requirements for filing an application for a beach grant and learned that the Federal government now requires the latest available data to be included with the application. This would require a great deal of research on the part of staff because County has not been involved in beach preservation issues since 1987. Coastal Tech has the data available and could put the application together within the required time frame at a cost of between $500 and $1,500. Because of the tight time frame, staff recommends that the Board .have Coastal Tech prepare the application. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams to make available up to $1,500 for the County to have Coastal Tech to prepare the application, as recommended by staff. Under discussion, Administrator Chandler mentioned that the Vero Beach City Council passed a motion that they had no objection to the County applying for the funds but would want a referendum if sand -pumping is involved. Commissioner Adams asked, and Administrator Chandler confirmed, -"that hiring Coastal -Tech to prepare the- application would not commit the County to using them as a consultant in the future. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. 51 LAN 121993 5 2W5BOOK
