Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2023 grant the conceptual PD plan and special exception approval, subject to the conditions recommended by the staff. The PZC also approved the preliminary PD plan/plat concurrently, subject to the Board's approval of the conceptual PD plan and special exception. Mr. Sweeney added that the staff -recommended conditions had been updated, and the 8 -foot masonry wall along the northern private roadway connection to State Road AIA had been removed. Additionally, the north private roadway is now prohibited from being used for construction access. Commissioner Moss requested clarification from Mr. Sweeney regarding how the current request aligns with the existing process. She stated according to the documents, the applicant had asked for simultaneous approval of steps one and two. It was unclear whether the application had been presented to the Commission once or twice. Mr. Sweeney responded that the zoning and conceptual PD plan was reviewed and approved by the PZC; the second step was subject to the Board's approval. Additional discussion ensued between the Commissioners and Mr. Sweeny regarding the conceptual landscape, buffer plan, proposed storage area, and construction schedule. Mark Justice, the Vice President of Construction and Development at Windsor, along with Attorney Bruce Barkett, were in agreement with Mr. Sweeny and expressed their gratitude towards him and his staff for the years of hard work and collaboration. They appreciated the effort put in by the entire design team to make the project successful. The following residents expressed their dissatisfaction with the project, stating that it would negatively impact their property and way of life. William and Cathy Ferrell Ronald and Adele Celli Commissioner Moss received information about ongoing code violations at Windsor following the resident's comments. Ms. Moss inquired about the nature of the issues and whether they would be resolved. Andy Sobczak, Planning and Development Services Director, responded that the property had faced code enforcement problems due to the storage of trucks, dumpsters, and other uses. Windsor had a temporary use permit from the County that allowed the use of a small area that had been sanctioned by the Planning and Development Department. The development of the site would eliminate the issues by removing those areas and resolving any previous code enforcement problems. There being no further comments, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Indian River County Florida Page 11
