a nursing home. Mrs. Vigliano also reported .that,effective the month of

McMechan, President of the Wabasso Civic League, that the present tenant
at the old coast guard building at Wabasso Beach will move out December 10
and she requested the County to look at the building which is in need of
repair and not suitable for rent. The League has a prospective tenant if
the building were put in shape. Mr. George Eyles has compiled a list of
necessary repairs and estimated thetcoat;:tcCbetS8..090,t0410, q0.O. ;)CCommissione
Macdonald recommended that this building be advertised for sale. The
concession stand building is not in too bad shape, Macdonald reported,
but erosion has eaten the bluff to one corner of the building and it
should be moved. This would be difficult because of the concrete slab and
he recommended that this building be torn down and the whole area made
into a picnic area. The County Attorney suggested that the Administrator
have a title search of the property to determine if there are any government
strings attached before advertising.
Commissioner Macdonald presented a Resolution adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Sebastian River Area Inlet Conservation Club, Inc.,.
endorsing the Resolution of this Board requesting that catwalks be
included on the Wabasso Bridge, which was received and placed on file.

Engineer of the State Road Department has advised him that the SRD
in discussing with the consultant, has requested that the fishing
catwalk be included in the design of the Wabasso Bridge, The Clerk was
requested to send a.copy of this letter to the Sebastian River Area Inlet
Conservation Club.
On Motion by Commissioner Macdonald, seconded,by Commissioner McCullers
and carried, the Administrator was requested to inquire of Mr. Ney Landrum,
Director of Florida Outdoor ecreation ..Committed oaboutc.aipublpcati® ai.on

recommendation to this Board that the Zoning be changed from Rl Single

The Motion was seconded by Commissioner Macdonald and unanimously carried.
Mr. Jennings reported that he recently requested speed control
signs on SR 505A (Kings Highway) and on SR 510 (West Wabasso Road), and

his
park on that area of land lying between the existing,right-of way of
State Road 512 and the right-of-way for the proposed new alignment
of SR 512 in Fellsmere, that the County will donate or lease the
land to.the State Road Department if they will build the facilities.

be returned to them. Upon Motion by Commissioner Waddell, seconded by
Commissioner Haffield, the Administrator was instructed to so notify

ment have approved the idea and it has been discussed with the St, Johns

away with the bridges. The proposal is also being presented to the
IndianRiver Farms. Drainage District, Mr. Jennings asked for the opinion
of this Board. Mr. Graves stated he thought it was a good idea, that the
bridges don't serve any purpose as being a bridge. After further
