Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final April 9, 2024 Vero Beach resident Joe Calmbach stated his issue involved six (6) vacant lots in Su -Rene Mobile Home Park (Su -Rene), which was established in 1971. Since 1971, four (4) of the six (6) vacant lots had never had a house on them. He stated that a year ago, infrastructure for RV campers and motor coaches had begun to be installed. Mr. Calmbach stated he had spoken with Planning and Development Services Director Andy Sobczak and Planner Patrick Murphy, and was told the property was not zoned for this type of infrastructure and would have to be rezoned, and a new site plan would have to be issued, which would require a notice and an opportunity to be heard. Under Indian River County Municode Section 800.05, letters must be sent to the homeowners; notices must be posted on the property, and a hearing before this Board must be held. He pointed out that on April 5, 2024, an application for Administrative Approval was filed with Indian River County, which does not require all the due process of Section 800.05. This meant that the elderly residents of Su -Rene and the surrounding community would be left in the dark about the impending change in use. According to the Administrative Code, the application for Administrative Approval was designed for small changes, such as changing a restaurant to a retail space, not for a change of use of the property. Mr. Calmbach stressed that this change would impact the values of the homes, leaving all of the residents without the knowledge that their property rights were about to be altered. He reiterated that the residents and homeowners in Su -Rene deserved due process, and this Board had the authority and responsibility to ensure due process was upheld. He passionately appealed to the Board to make certain that the property received due process and an opportunity to be heard before the change in use of the property occurred.
