Amy Banov, Architect and Contractor, 6700 Carson Trail, affirmed her support for the <br />buffer zone concept, noting that there has been a substantial increase of residences in the <br />agricultural zoned areas. <br />Robert Inhoff, 5704 Riverboat Circle SW, representing the South County Preservation <br />Society, spoke to the importance of basing the Board s decision on what is best for all County <br />residents. <br />Brian Carman, IRNA, pointed out that the Board was being asked at this time to <br />approve the concept of the buffer area, not the individual components of the proposal. <br />Chuck Mechling, 5215 Tradewinds Drive, believed that the proposal might make it <br />difficult for certain firms to conduct business. <br />Jens Tripson, 2525 14th Street, cautioned the Board to be careful not to put in place any <br />regulations that would affect genuine agricultural practices. He advised that precise definitions <br />be included for uses that are bona fide agricultural practices and proposed to be prohibited. <br />BJ McClure, 395 Nieuport Drive, Aerodrome, voiced concerns about deficits in the <br />current system of special exception and admimstrative use permits. He also spoke of excessive <br />truck traffic being generated by INEOS New Planet BioEnergy, and stressed that protections <br />were needed for the residents of the Indian River Aerodrome and neighboring communities. <br />Robert Adair, Agricultural Advisory Committee, affirmed the importance of the <br />Agricultural Advisory Committee's involvement with the discussions on the proposal. He asked <br />that small farmers be allowed to maintain their agricultural practices and a decent lifestyle.
