MAI REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM STEPHANIE A USTIN REGARDING SEVENSO <br /> REGIONAL PLANNING, BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON REGIONAL <br /> PLANNING. AND THE REASONS FOR DISSOL VING MEMBERSHIP <br /> Stephanie Austin, 6250 Arrowhead Lane, provided information from the October 2012 <br /> Seven50 Regional Planning meeting, held in Indian River County, and listed the reasons why she <br /> believed the Board should dissolve membership in Seven50, and all affiliated organizations . <br /> A lengthy discussion ensued as Commissioners Davis, Solari, and Zorc voiced concerns <br /> over regionalism, the planning process, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council ' s funding <br /> and budget, and withdrawing from the Seven50 process/program. <br /> Commissioner O ' Bryan voiced concerns over saving the Lagoon, and did not think that <br /> isolation from the Seven50 program was the answer. He felt it to be a planning process, and <br /> since the plan has not yet been written, finds it hard to believe that property rights have been <br /> taken away. He said the County could opt out at any time, and preferred to wait to see what the <br /> plan provides. <br /> Paul Tanner, 5265 Sapphire Lane, expressed concerns over the sustainability initiative, <br /> density issues, and goals . He requested the Board remove themselves from the Seven50 <br /> Initiative while there is still a chance to do so . <br /> Chairman Flescher believed this topic was an important and emotional decision, and did <br /> not think it would be fair to the public to have a vote today. He wanted to give the general public <br /> an opportunity to speak on this issue, at another time, before making a decision. <br /> December 4, 2012, 15 <br /> 43 PG 224 <br />
