Board of County Commissioners <br />Meeting Minutes — Final March 3, 2020 <br />subject to certain criteria and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />under an administrative permit review. Additionally, two publicly submitted <br />LDR amendment proposals had been filed and were being presented for the <br />Board's consideration: the Hendrix proposal suggested criteria for special <br />exception use; the Simmons/Campbell proposal would eliminate off-site <br />accessory landscaping services in A-1 zones. It was noted that any LDR <br />amendment would apply to future businesses, and existing businesses would be <br />grandfathered -in under LDR Chapter 904 regulations. <br />During discussion, Commissioner O'Bryan expressed his concerns regarding <br />staff's 2nd Alternative proposal and the attempt to quantify an accessory use <br />business. Chairman Adams was disinclined to pass regulations that were too <br />limiting to the mixed-use nature ofA-1 zoned land. Additional discussion <br />continued between Commissioners and staff regarding the LDR proposals, <br />balanced regulations, and hypothetical scenarios. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. <br />The following people spoke before the Board: <br />Ken Hendrix, 6220 1st Street SW, detailed his LDR proposal, though he now <br />supported the Simmons/Campbell proposal. He provided historic information <br />on the area to support his comments. <br />John Terry, 37th Street, disagreed with the ruling that allowed this type of <br />commercial business in an agricultural area, and supported the <br />Simmons/Campbell amendment. <br />The Chairman called a recess at 10:48 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at <br />10:55 a.m., with all Board members present. <br />Spencer Simmons, 7350 37th Street, clarified his initial complaint to the Board. <br />He presented his LDR proposal's rationale for eliminating off-site lawn mowing <br />service businesses on agricultural land, and spoke against grandfathering <br />existing businesses. <br />Jodi Velde, 6300 1st Street SW, representing Tropical Property Management, <br />informed that landscape debris was recognized as an agricultural product by the <br />State of Florida. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 9 <br />
