BOOK 95 F,9u� 14 <br />The proposed amendment retains the existing $250.00 bond <br />requirement and sign placement prohibitions as well as <br />existing sign size, height and spacing restrictions. The <br />proposed amendment would add the following language: <br />1. State that for each violation discovered, $25.00 of the <br />bond amount will be forfeited to the county, up to the <br />total $250.00 bond amount. <br />2. State that for such violations discovered, county code <br />enforcement staff will record the date, time, location, <br />and candidate or campaign involved. <br />3. State that placement of signs in public or private <br />rights-of-way is a violation, and grounds for forfeiture <br />of bond money. <br />4. State that, for purposes of determining the right-of-way <br />line location, the edge of sidewalks or utility pales <br />furthest from the road will be deemed to be the right-of- <br />way line. Where no such structures exist, the right-of- <br />way line will be deemed to be 20' back from the near edge <br />of road pavement or, for unpaved roads, 20' back from the <br />near edge of the roadbed surface. <br />The proposed ordinance also deletes a current reference to a <br />2 day "courtesy notice" for violations. <br />23. Criteria for Allowing Road name Designations. Recently, the <br />Board of County Commissioners granted a request by the <br />developer of the Indian River Club planned development project <br />to use road names rather than a combination of road numbers <br />and road names. The Board then directed staff to include,in <br />the current round of LDR amendments, changes that specify the. <br />circumstances under which road names (rather than road <br />numbers) can be used. <br />Since that Board meeting, planning staff have reviewed with <br />Emergency Services staff potential changes to Chapter 951. <br />Staff agree that the primary, numbered road grid system <br />already in place should be the basis for most new roads. <br />However, staff also agree that the Board's policy of allowing <br />name designations for new roads, under certain circumstances, <br />should be specified in Chapter 951. As shown in the proposed <br />amendment, planning staff proposes establishing 3 exceptions <br />to the normal road number designation requirement for new <br />roads, as follows: <br />a. Continuations of existing, named roads <br />b. Roads on the barrier island <br />C. Roads within planned developments or private subdivisions <br />that do not fit into the county's grid system of east - <br />west and north -south roads. <br />These exceptions would be applied by staff to any requests to <br />use road names for new roads proposed within development <br />projects. <br />In addition, the proposed changes specify that staff road name <br />decisions can be appealed (to the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission, and ultimately to the Board of County <br />Commissioners) and that road names cannot duplicate or closely <br />approximate names of existing or approved road names. <br />Emergency Services recommendations are consistent with the <br />proposed amendments. However, it should be noted that <br />14 <br />MAY 159 1995 <br />M M r <br />
