Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final <br />March 9, 2021 <br />Annette and Ralph Valentino, 13 Sunset Drive, appeared before the Board to <br />request a County code amendment which would limit storage of RVs, boats, <br />and trailers to the sides of residences. Ms. Valentino displayed photographs <br />showing RVs and boats parked in front of homes in her neighborhood, some of <br />which were in violation of County code. The couple complained that the <br />vehicles blocked their water view, and lowered property values; additionally, <br />they contended that unpermitted driveways created drainage problems. <br />Chief of Code Enforcement and Environmental Planning Andy Sobczak <br />reported on the citations issued in the Valentino's neighborhood, including <br />vehicles parked on the grass. He offered to provide the couple with <br />documentation of actions taken by his department. <br />Commissioner Adams supported allowing the violations to work through the <br />code enforcement process, and disagreed with the request to change the County <br />code. <br />The Commissioners entered into a discussion with the Valentinos and Mr. <br />Sobczak on the code enforcement process, comparison to the City of <br />Sebastian's restrictions, and the diversity of lot sizes in the County. <br />Phil Matson, Community Development Director, stated his department would <br />step-up enforcement of code violations in the area. He advocated for utilizing <br />code enforcement's process to resolve violations rather than changing the <br />County's code, which could have wide -reaching and unintended consequences. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />C.
