A letter was received from Mr. Henry N. Thompson requesting
that his name be put on file for the management and concession of the
Indian River County Sebastian Inlet Park. On Motion by Commissioner
Waddell, seconded by Commissioner McCullers and carried, the letter
was received and placed on file.
The Chairman appointed Commissioner Waddell to represent
the Board of County Commissioners on the Citizens Advisory Committee
of the Vero Beach Theatre Guild, Inc.
Commissioner Waddell was,instructed to discuss with the owner,
Nancy L. McLarty, her request to transfer the 40' right-of-way of 2nd
Street, Ambersand Beach Subdivision, Unit 2, owned by the County, to
either side of her property. This right-of-way now runs through the
middle of her property and the submerged land portion out to the bulk-
head line was dedicated to the County by the Trustees of the Internal
Improvement Fund.
On Motion by Commissioner Waddell, seconded by Commissioner
Haffield and unanimously carried, the Board approved,,, letter to
Mr. Moreland Smith, stating that the County will accept a 50 foot
right-of-way for Heddon Place, provided the road is constructed to
county specifications by the property owner and full right-of-way
deeded to the county without any cost either to construction or
right-of-way.
The County Engineer reported that Bob Doyle of the Regional
Planning Council had recommended Dr. Ernest R. Bartley, Consultant,
Urban Planning and Zoning, Gainesville, as planner for the area south
of the Sebastian Inlet and that in corresponding with Dr. Bartley, he
suggested that he come to Vero Beach for a day and drive the area in
order to give a more reasonable estimate of what would be involved and
length of stay. Commissioner Waddell moved that the County Engineer
be instructed to bring about a meeting of Dr. Bartley, together with
a representative from the Regional Planning Council and such Commissioners
that would be interested, for the purpose of surveying the area from
the Sebastian Inlet to the North City Limits of Vero Beach for the
BOOK EPPAt".

purpose of preparing a zoning map of the area. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Macdonald and unanimously carried.
The County Engineer reported. that Mr. Manuel Garcia,
President of Diamond G. Farms, has begun construction of two
structures on his property on SR512 without obtaining building
permits. In March of last year, he was advised of the necessity
of obtaining building permits andhas so been advised again by
the Zoning Inspector. The Contractor, G. & M Construction Co.,
was also uncooperative. The Board authorized the County Engineer
to notify Mr. Garcia and the construction company that if a permit
is not acquired within five days of the receipt of the letter that
a warrant will be obtainedfor violation of zoning ordinance.
On Motion by Commissioner Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner
Waddell and unanimously carried, the Engineer was authorized to
advertise for bids for a flat bed and tail gate for a truck to be
used for transporting the voting machines.
The County Engineer presenteda proposed change of travelway
for Old Dixie Highway which will be presented to the State Road
Department. Commissioner Waddell moved, seconded. by Commissioner
Haffield that the Engineer be authorized to go to Fort Lauderdale
to meet with the State Road Department. Motion was unanimously
carried.
Commissioner Waddell moved that the County Engineer be
authorized to write a letter to the State Road Department stating
that this Board feels that each of the three requests for structures
on 1-95 are of equal weight and merit and that the Board does not wish
to divide them into separate resolutions. The Board feels that the
two overpasses are necessary because the roads are physically on the
ground and in use and must be provided. The interchange request
at Oslo Road is vital to the future growth of Indian River County
because in our long range plans, Oslo Road is a project to extend
from the Atlantic Oceanon the east to Okeechobee County on the west;
that the value of 1-95 for conveying local traffic from the north end
to the south end and westward would be virtually lost if no interchange
FEB 9 SS PACE5
BOOK 9 PACE 490
is provided in the south end of the County; that the growth and real
estate developments in the south end of Indian River County is in-
creasing daily and I-95 would be a useful link in our local transporation
system providing we would have access to it; and that the population
growth of Indian River County is going southward and westward from
Vero Beach. If no interchange in Indian River County is given south
of Road 60, traffic originating north or south must use already
heavily traveled Road 60 for connection to U. S. # 1 i order to
arrive at points in the south end of Indian River County. This letter
shall be a supplement to the Resolution adopted in Special Session
on December 28, 1965. Motion was seconded by Commissioner McCullers
and unanimously carried.
Commissioner Macdonald moved that the County Engineer be
instructed to clean out the rear lot drainage ditch through A. A.
Berry's Subdivision:.and re -locate that part of the ditch from
. Elaine Street North, provided we have an,easenent from Mr. Duerden
for the digging and maintenance of the ditch; and further, that
upon receipt of all necessary right-of-way deeds., properly executed,
the County will accept for maintenance, Elaine Street, from Dale
Street west one-quarter mile. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Waddell and unanimously carried.
The County Engineer reported that he receiveda request
from the City Council of the City of Sebastian to install a
drainage pipe in a ditch on the west side of Old U.S.#1 for a
distance of 150 feet, which is in the area of the By -Rite Store.
The proper Road and Bridge Fund expenditure accounts shall be
reimbursed from the Road Tax to Municipalities Account. Commissioner
Macdonald moved that the County Engineer be authorized to comply
with the request of the City of Sebastian. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Haffield and unanimously carried.
On Motion by Commissioner Waddell, seconded. by Commissioner
McCullers, the following Resolution was unanimously adopted:
