At that time, <br />several people provided comments to the Board regarding the proposed ordinance revisions. <br />Among those comments was a concern that there had been insufficient time for the public to <br />review the proposed ordinance changes. Consequently, the Board voted to recess the public <br />hearing to allow time for staff to give presentations to, and receive comment from, interested <br />groups and organizations. Subsequently, presentations were made to the Pelican Island Audubon <br />Society, the Eugenia Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society, and the Pelican Island <br />Preservation Society. A total of 75 people attended those three meetings. On March 1, 2002, an <br />advertised public workshop was held, and 28 people attended. <br />The Board reconvened its January 22, 2002, public hearing on March 12, 2002. At that hearing, <br />there was more public comment and a request for more time to review the proposed ordinance <br />July 9, 2002 <br />36 <br />
