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 />
