There were no objections from the Board. <br /> Director Boling used a PowerPoint Presentation to highlight the process <br /> involved in bringing the text amendments back for a Final Hearing and relayed <br /> the policy changes and objectives involved in the proposed updates related to <br /> the Sanitary Sewer Sub-Element. <br /> A discussion ensued concerning the proposed regulations for new construction, <br /> the proposed reduction in septic permits to be issued in the future, a request for <br /> additional information on mandatory septic to sewer hookups, and for allowing <br /> the Developmental Review and Permit Processing Committee an opportunity to <br /> provide feedback and guidance. <br /> County staff noted that the majority of permits issued were septic repair permits <br /> and the proposed septic permit numbers were goals rather than regulations. <br /> Director Boling explained that there were requirements and regulations to be <br /> followed and that nothing in the proposed policy changes would prohibit the <br /> Board from looking at each project individually. <br /> Chairman O'Bryan opened the Public Hearing. <br /> Joseph Paladin,President of Black Swan Consulting, addressed the Board <br /> conveying his experience and opinion regarding septic-to-sewer connections. <br /> There being no other speakers,the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. <br /> The Board deferred the vote to Item 10.A.3. <br /> Indian River County Florida Page 9 <br />
