The original application was <br />submitted on April 15, 2020 with a subsequent Appeal submitted on May 12, 2020. Both the original <br />application and the subsequent Appeal were denied and we are hereby reaching out to the Commission <br />with a final attempt to garner support for the Traffic Impact Fee Credit. <br />Vero Beach MOB, LLC is a partnership between Optimal Outcomes, LLC and the partners of Vero <br />Orthopaedic & Neurology ("VON") = a leading, well-respected provider of orthopaedic and related <br />services. VON serves more than 100,000 residents of Indian River County and provides immeasurable <br />charitable care to the community. The Project, anchored by VON, entails a new 66,000 sq. ft., two-story, <br />Class -A medical office building and surgery center that will improve access and quality of service for <br />thousands of Indian River County residents. <br />The previous Application and Appeal were denied largely on the basis of exclusions and exculpatory <br />language within the Indian River County Code of Ordinance. We conversely have not attempted to rely <br />upon entirely the IRC Code but rather more recent legislature, namely HB 7103. While not confirmed, we <br />suspect the IRC Code has not been updated to incorporate this legislation but we believe State Law should <br />supersede. That said, we also do not concur with the County's prior basis for denial. and believe the <br />interpretation of the County Code -is subjective in many cases and therefore open to interpretation. <br />Seth Coren, M.D. 1 Erin Forest, M.D. 1 Barry Garcia, D.O. 1 Guy Hickman, Jr., M.D. 1 Aaron M.
