swimming pools areas. For that reason, staff proposes that the special setbacks for swimming pools and pool related structures be applied to rearyards and sideyards of multi - frontage lots and corner lots. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Direct staff to make any necessary changes to the proposed ordinance; and 2. Announce its intentions to take final action on the proposed ordinance at the Board's special hearing scheduled for 5:01 p.m. on August 31, 1994, to be held in the County Commission Chambers. Director Boling expected three items to involve the most discussion: Section 19 regarding Live -Aboard Vessels, Section 20 regarding Dock Rental, and Section 18 regarding FEMA Recommended Changes in Stormwater Management and Flood Protection Requirements. He recommended that the Board consider those three items first, followed by the remainder of the listed items in numerical order, if the Board so desired. The Board members agreed to follow the suggested sequence.

A person shall be presumed to be aboard the vessel if the lights, television or other appliances are seen and/or heard between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. If we receive a report of a liveaboard based on observation, the respondent would have the opportunity to come before the Code Enforcement Board and present their side of the story and explain, for example, why the lights were on during those hours. The exemption for registered commercial fishing boats has been in the ordinance and remains in the ordinance with additional language referencing Florida Statutes for the definition of commercial fishing boats. Environmental Planning Chief Roland DeBlois explained that the case involving liveaboards which was discussed in the memo was heard by the Code Enforcement Board. That Board did not make a determination of liveaboard, but they determined there was an accessory use violation related to rental and lease of a dock in a single-family residential neighborhood. Commissioner Eggert led discussion regarding security lights on board the vessels and the need to differentiate security lights from liveaboard lights. Mr. DeBlois stated that staff's discussions included the fact that boats use hazard lights, running lights and security lights, � ,� August 15, 1994 11 Boos 3 rn-, 66 i
