Board of County Commissioners <br />Meeting Minutes - Final June 18, 2019 <br />Commissioner Zorc mentioned growing and harvesting in a facility, of which <br />Director Boling categorized as a farm rather than a nursery where the plants are <br />grown to be sold. <br />Commissioner Flescher noted reasons for not being supportive of adding <br />restrictions to the current LDRs, and expressed his opinion regarding people <br />who move into an area zoned for agriculture, and then complain about the <br />activities surrounding them. <br />Vice Chairman Adams, who mentioned that she agreed with Commissioner <br />Flescher, stated that the nursery employees sometimes do maintenance work for <br />their customers. <br />Tim Campbell, 7330 37th Street, stated that he has lived at his address for 20 <br />years, and provided his opinion of the inconvenience caused by the new <br />business. <br />Amy Simmons, 7250 37th Street, responded to Commissioner Flescher's <br />comment, and stated that she was not in favor of the language used in the <br />proposed ordinance. <br />Ken Hendrix, 6220 1st Street SW, offered his opinion that the proposed <br />ordinance would not solve the problem that had been presented to the Board, <br />but was supportive of approving it on a pending basis to allow for a complete <br />review of the LDRs. <br />Sandy Hall, 7080 57th Street, commented that she has had a registered nursery <br />on her property for more than 20 years. She questioned the word "Accessory" <br />as it is used in the proposed ordinance. <br />George Bartosch, 6420 37th Street, explained that he is the owner of Treasure <br />Coast Turf and Trees, which is strictly a wholesale nursery located on seven (7) <br />acres. Director Boling confirmed that Mr. Bartosch's business would be <br />grandfathered in. <br />Jodi Velde, 330 53rd Circle, owner of Tropical Property Management, 6300 1st <br />Street SW, provided her opinion that the proposed changes to the draft <br />ordinance offered no protection for established business owners. <br />Peter Robinson, 315 Greytwig Road, stated his concern that all landscape <br />company owners were not notified of the proposed ordinance, and that he felt <br />more time was needed to research the future uses of agricultural land. <br />Indian River County Florida <br />Page 13 <br />
