BOOK M6 PAGE .72 <br />Commissioner Eggert stated her intention to continue to support this because she <br />thought it was needed. She pointed out the project is at a different price level and has been <br />very carefully done. She added that staff presented this to the Board as they do everything <br />that comes to the Board as a public hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Adams, to approve staff's recommendation <br />with all the conditions. <br />Commissioner Ginn pointed out that the Board still did not have an analysis of the <br />number ofunits available per income group which was supposed to be forthcoming this year. <br />Citing the Mall, she asked why the ponds had to be next to the road, with chain link fence, <br />and are credited as green space. She felt work needed to be done in that area. <br />Director Keating advised that if a storm water pond is a wet pond and it becomes a <br />water body, it is not completely credited for green space, only a percentage is. A fence is <br />usually required if the water is over 2' deep as a safety requirement. The location is <br />generally determined by engineering in coming up with a storm water plan. If it is <br />maintained properly, it can be considered an asset. <br />Director Boling reported that the County cannot take credit for the pond in front of <br />Kmart, because it is in the City of Vero Beach and was built a long time ago. He advised <br />that this project will have storm water ponds similar to those at Walmart (near <br />east/Applebees' entrance). <br />Chairman Tippin recalled the original purpose of the ponds was to keep pollution out <br />of the Indian River Lagoon. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />passed 4-l(Commissioner Ginn opposed.) <br />June 9, 1998 <br />64 <br />
