The Board <br />had previously decided this would not be allowed and she felt it is <br />an accident waiting to happen. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired what particular operation was being <br />targeted, and Commissioner Adams advised that the complainant did <br />not give the name of the business. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that staff <br />will be coming before the Board with the Wabasso Corridor plan <br />which will contain recommendations for no commercial activities. <br />He is aware there are a couple of businesses that do have offsite <br />locations where they rent sailboards and jet skis which they then <br />bring to the Causeway location. <br />Commissioner Adams felt that is skirting the law and opens the <br />County to an opportunity for great liability. - <br />Commissioner Bird emphasized that is a public body of water <br />with a public boat ramp. He felt this is a very popular water <br />sport where many people might enjoy renting but cannot afford to <br />buy. There are many types of boat sales organizations who use the <br />public ramp. As long as they have a legitimate place of business, <br />they should have the right to use the public launching facility, <br />the same as an individual taxpayer. The original business <br />considered by the Board was proposed to be onsite and the <br />consideration was that the County ordinance says you may not do <br />business from a county park. <br />OCTOBER 10, 1995 � - <br />
