9.B.2. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS - JEFFREY M. HICKMAN <br />REGARDING ADOPTION OF A SIX MONTH <br />RENEWABLE MORATORIUM ON BUILDING <br />APPROVALS <br />The Board reviewed a letter of June 26, 2002: <br />Jeffrey M. IIkilns <br />Horne Phone 772-589-8525 <br />Mr. James Chandler <br />Indian River County Administrator <br />1840 25th St. <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />7600 134th Street <br />Sebastian, FL 32958 <br />Rune 26, 2002 <br />I would like to request to be put on the agenda for the July 2, 2002 County Board of <br />Commissioners meeting. <br />At this meeting I would like to propose that the County adopt a motion for a six month <br />renewable moratorium on building approvals. This would allow the County time to re examnre the <br />current zoning regulations and determine if a change from RM (residential multi -family) to RS <br />(residential single family) would be more appropriate for the community. Inlight of the current <br />project proposals, ie. the Inlet at Sebastian myself and many rnembers of our neighborhood feel <br />that the community neighborhoods would best be served by restricting high density developments <br />and continue to favor single family homes. <br />Thank you for your time. <br />Sincerely, <br />fief rey M. Hickman, 7600 134`h Street, requested the Board to pass a 6 -month <br />moratorium on high density rezonings and reconsider the County's plans to protect the <br />community from large scale developers. He felt the traffic situation is already critical and <br />time is needed to evaluate the impact on services being supplied to residents. He felt that <br />the Indian River Lagoon area is as sensitive an area as the barrier islands and that it is our <br />duty to protect the environment. <br />JULY 2, 2002 <br />44 <br />
