SUBDIVISION TO BE KNOWN AS MILLSTONE LANDING P.D. - PHASE 3
Commissioner O'Bryan wanted reassurance that the project would move forward
and that the Homeowner's Association documentation would be in compliance with State Statutes.
Robert Shelby, 3735 Northeast 214 Street, Aventura, announced that his company
had been building in Indian River County for a while and he assured the Board that his projects and
November 6, 2007 9
site work were 100 percent completed. He explained that Millstone Landing was made up of six
phases and this was number three, with the first two already being platted and approved. He said
they were commencing with the clubhouse and that none of the Homeowner Associations were
being assessed monies for anything that is incomplete. He assured the Board that his company
would fund, pay for, and subsidize the deficiencies on the budgets.
Commissioner O'Bryan wanted confirmation that most of the sales would be to
owners and not investors or speculators.
Robert Shelby stated that he had not seen too many investors in Indian River
County.
Commissioner O'Bryan emphasized that the Florida Statute requires a lot owner
who is being assessed a fee, to supply an annual financial report 60 -days after the end of the fiscal
year. He asked Mr. Shelby if he would supply the Board with the required annual report, and Mr.
Shelby said his management company would gladly furnish the County with the closing
documents at the end of each year.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Commissioner Davis, the Board by a 4-0 vote (Chairman
Wheeler absent) granted final plat approval for Millstone
Landing P.D. — Phase 3, as recommended in the
memorandum of October 29, 2007.
7.G. BVI OF VERO BEACH LLC., REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR
A PLAT -OVER -SITE -PLAN SUBDIVISION TO BE KNOWN AS BELLA VISTA
ISLES
November 6, 2007 10
Commissioner O'Bryan voiced concern that there would be nothing to prevent Bella
Vista Isles (BVI), which has two out-of-town principal owners, from walking away from the
project before its completion. He was pleased to know, after having met with one of the
representatives last week, that they had a marketing plan.
Commissioner Davis shared the same concerns and pointed out that a lis pendens
had been filed against the property.
Joseph Paladin, President of Black Swan Consulting, representing Bella Vista Isles
(BVI), reminded the Board that this item was being brought back from a previous meeting. He
confirmed that they do have a marketing plan and exit strategy. Mr. Paladin informed the Board
that the lis pendens on the property was a negotiation between BVI and one of the subcontractors,
which he said had been worked out. He acknowledged that the out-of-town investors have no
influence over the project, and was simply a funding issue.
Gary Brown, 22187 Waterside Drive, Boca Raton, related that he and his wife are
both listed as agents and that they had completed six projects in other counties. He said that
currently, theywere working two projects, one in Indian River, the other in Boca Raton. Mr.
Brown assured the Board that he and his wife are fully committed to moving forward with the
Bella Vista Isles project. He reported that they may bring in an investor but they would still
guarantee the loans.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Commissioner Davis, the Board by a 4-0 vote (Chairman
Wheeler absent) granted final plat approval for Bella Vista
Isles Subdivision, as recommended in the memorandum of
October 29, 2007.
November 6, 2007 11
7.H. THE LAKES AT BROOKHAVEN L.L. C 'S REQUEST FOR FINAL PLAT
APPROVAL FOR A SUBDIVISION TO BE KNOWN AS THE LAKES AT
BROOKHAVEN
Commissioner O'Bryan voiced similar concerns over this subdivision and disclosed
that they had put in the roads, a front entrance gate, and landscaping, with the principal owners
listed on over two hundred different LLC's and corporations. He felt they might get the final plat,
sell lots, then walk away from the project. He wanted to hear their future plans for the subdivision.
Domenick Lioce, 5 Tarrington Circle, Palm Beach Gardens, said his subdivision is
significantly different than Shelby Homes and Bella Vista Isles because they were only
subdividing the land and selling the lots. He reported that all the lots had been sold and that they
would soon be closing in escrow with the Homeowner's Association. He explained how they were
funding $500.00 per lot into the Association at closing, so they would have an initial reserve in
case they find anything wrong. Mr. Lioce noted that they had finished most of the improvements
and bonded the remainder.
There was a brief question and answer period between Mr. Lioce and the Board.
Community Planning Director Stan Boling explained that they would be subject to
maintenance bond requirements when they get their certificate of completion.
Mr. Lioce acknowledged that a professional management company would be
managing the association.
November 6, 2007 12
Commissioner O'Bryan asked Mr. Lioce to notify the Board of the date and location
of the turn -over, and he agreed to do so.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by

STREET
AND EAST OF 74TH AVENUE FROM A-1 TO RS -6 (QUASI-JUDICIAL)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Community Development Director Robert Keating provided a brief PowerPoint
presentation showing the location of the property and explained that the purpose of the rezoning is
to secure the necessary zoning to develop the subject property with residential uses at a density
consistent with the allowed density of its designation. He showed the existing land uses around the
property and said that staff found there was sufficient capacity in all concurrency related to
facilities, and that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. He
acknowledged that the property consists of pine flatwoods, which would require 15% native
conservation to be set aside for when the property is developed. He also explained other
environmental concerns such as possible wetlands and the potential of endangered species on the
property.
There was a brief question and answer period between staff and the Board regarding
the build -out density.
Commissioner Davis wanted to know when 16th Street would be paved and Director
Keating informed him that it would be during the 2007/2008 fiscal year.
Vice Chair Bowden opened the public hearing.
November 6, 2007 27
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, wanted to know if the new subdivision
would be required to pay concurrency to help with the expense of widening SR60. Director
Keating explained that when the lot owners come in for building permits, they would pay the SR60
fee in addition to the impact fees; therefore, contributing to paying -off the debt to the State.
There were no additional speakers and the Vice Chair closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner O'Bryan, the Board by 3-1 vote
(Commissioner Flescher opposed and Chairman Wheeler

9.B. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS
November 6, 2007 29
9.B.1. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM VICTOR KNIGHT REGARDING SUGGESTIONS
FOR LDR AMENDMENTS PERTAINING TO THE AG -1 ZONING (MINING
OPERATION)
Victor Knight, 3295 Branch Road, provided the Board with a handout (copy on
file) regarding Land Development Regulations as they pertain to the Agricultural One District. He
wanted the Board to use a more targeted approach to resolving the challenges of the growing
residential uses in the Agriculture -1 District, and the conflicts that would continue to arise at an
increasing rate from incompatible uses, such as mining. Mr. Knight asked the Board to amend
their previous vote to target the moratorium to the AG -1 district and allow the AG -2 and AG -3 to
continue under the current guidelines.
Commissioner Davis suggested the Board address Mr. Knight's concerns through
the Agricultural Advisory Committee before making any decisions.
Victor Knight encouraged the Board to limit the moratorium to the affected area,
and offered to speak or consult with the Agricultural Advisory Committee.
Joseph Paladin, President of Black Swan Consultants, provided the Board with a
handout (copy on file) of his proposed recommendations to the Wild Turkey Mining Project. He
detailed each of the ten items and wanted the Board to support his proposals rather than the
moratorium.
There was a lengthy discussion pertaining to the mining project, the safety factors
involved, and how the proposal could be incorporated into the permitting process.
November 6, 2007 30
Vice Chair Bowden suggested sending this back to staff for review then forwarding
it to the Agricultural Advisory Committee.
Administrator Baird suggested coming back with a proposal that would make the
process safer.
Victor Knight pointed out that the administrative approval process for mining
provides for little public input, and explained that when a mining permit is issued there is no
discrimination between sand mining and rock mining He warned the Board to be very careful
because once the Wild Turkey project gets permitted, they would not operate the mine, they would
sell it to a mining activity, then it would become a twenty-year operation.
Vice Chair Bowden reminded Mr. Knight that this topic was still under discussion,
and asked Attorney Collins to provide legal opinion.
County Attorney William Collins disclosed that the moratorium process that was
initiated would not be a "quick one." He said it is required to go through several public hearings
before the Planning Commission, and before the Board of County Commissioners. He said he
would prefer to allow the hearing process to work and not narrow down the area east of I-95 to
AG -1.
There was a brief question and answer period where Commissioner Davis wanted to
know if the County could stop someone from having a dairy farm if they met the requirements.
Attorney Collins said one could not stop an existing use because the Right to Farm Act pertains to
uses that are currently in existence and declared not to be nuisances.
Commissioner O'Bryan concurred with Attorney Collins' advice to proceed with
public hearings and receive input so the County could start drafting new LDRs.
November 6, 2007 31
Joseph Paladin said he was trying to be part of the solution. He wanted to add the
items to the permitting process to make it a permanent policy, setting a higher standard.
Discussion ensued between Mr. Knight and the Board regarding notice provisions
and affected properties. Mr. Knight requested the Board to restrict the amendments to LDR's
towards the lands east of I-95, and not do a re -write.
Community Planning Director Stan Boling recapped the discussion to ensure the
proper direction from the Board and Attorney's office. He acknowledged that if Wild Turkey were
to move forward, they would provide a courtesy notice to those affected.
Discussion continued regarding the LDR Amendments and the Moratorium
following parallel tracks and the possibility of trading property with Mr. Sexton.
Victor Knight wanted the Board to impose safeguards now to avoid angry
residents.
Commissioner Davis confirmed that he would contact Mr. Knight to ensure he gets
his place on the Agricultural Advisory Committee meeting.
Vice Chair Bowden disclosed that the Board would review the exceptions and add
that to the process.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN.
Vice Chair Bowden called for a recess at 10:42 a.m. and reconvened the meeting at
10:59 a.m. with all members present.
November 6, 2007 32
9.B.2. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM THE WEST WABASSO CIVIC PROGRESSIVE
LEAGUE REGARDING CONSIDERATION OF MEALS ON WHEELS FOR
WEST WABASSO AND FELLSMERE
Eugene Douglas, President of the West Wabasso Civic Progressive League,
thanked the Board for its support and requested consideration for their proposal of hot meals
through the Meals on Wheels program.
Reverend S. McIntosh, Vice President of the West Wabasso Civic Progressive
League, informed the Board that this proposal is to expand the Nutrition for Life program and
provide a truck for the delivery of hot meals.
Victor Hart, Sr. 4635 34th Avenue, Gifford, said he was there to provide moral
support to the areas of West Wabasso and Fellsmere. He emphasized how this is a one-time
requirement that would satisfy their need for a truck, so seniors can receive hot meals.
William (Billy) Mennis, Jr. 8466 63rd Avenue, Wabasso, Secretary of the West
Wabasso Civic Progressive League, wanted the Board's support in obtaining the truck so hot
meals could be delivered to senior citizens.
Julianne Price, Florida Department of Health, expressed how Meals on Wheels is a
vital program for this County. She said the requested vehicle, which has heated facilities inside,
will serve primarily the elderly, shut-ins, and the vulnerable population within the County. She
informed the Board that the Florida Department of Health regulates the temperatures at 140
degrees so people would not get sick. If the food cannot be maintained at that temperature, then it
must be disposed of and they would have to cease the Meals on Wheels operation.
November 6, 2007 33
Discussion ensued among the Board members as to where the money would come
from.
Commissioner Davis said there was no doubt that the County has this need, and
thought it would be cheaper than creating another site. He supported everything in the package
except the site coordinators.
Karen Deigl, CEO of the Senior Resource Association, thanked the Board for
considering this request. She explained that the site coordinators and the driver would enable them
to initially get the program up and running, and to have someone to efficiently and effectively run
it. She informed the Board that they have over 300 volunteers, 60 of whom deliver meals daily
within the County. She emphasized that the funding for Administration also needs to be included
in the package because of the difficulties involved with a program run strictly by volunteers. Ms.
Deigl expressed that, unfortunately, there are not many Grants available to request funds for
capital and staffing, which is why they were requesting the entire package.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to fund the entire
package in the amount of $63,143.00.
Vice Chair Bowden opened the public hearing.
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision asked why taxpayers had to pay for a vehicle
that would be given to the Counsel on Aging. He felt this would set a precedence over all the other
worthwhile programs. He also thought the County should be the last resort for requesting funding
assistance.
November 6, 2007 34
Karen Deigl said they get funding from the Federal and State Governments for the
Council on Aging; and as for the Meals on Wheels Program, they get funding from the United Way
and the Johns Island Service League, but they are for direct services only, not capital, as they are
requesting here.
Commissioner Davis explained that the big hurdle is the $40,000.00 cost of the truck
with heat retaining ovens and refrigeration. He summarized by saying that right now they were
delivering food with no way to keep it hot, therefore, when it starts to cool they are having to throw
it away. Commissioner Davis was concerned that if someone ate something and got sick, it would
allow for a tremendous liability.
Joseph Paladin felt this would be a great investment for the County.
Commissioner Flescher supported the program and thought this would be a small
price to pay. Commissioner O'Bryan supported the program and thought it was a good example of
government and private partnership.
Vice Chair Bowden CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried by a 4-0 vote (Chairman Wheeler absent).
The Board approved the Nutrition for Life Program
Expansion to Fellsmere and Wabasso Revised Proposed
Budget of $63,143.00, which includes site coordinators,
one driver, fuel, and a truck with heat retention ovens and
refrigeration (including insurance).

RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
RECOMMEND THAT THE STATE REVISE ITS PROCEDURE FOR
DISPOSING OF CONSERVATION LANDS
Director Boling reminded the Board that at the September 27, 2007 meeting, the
P&Z discussed the Sand Lakes Tract, owned by St. Johns River Water Management District
(SJRWMD). At that discussion, P&Z member Dr. Richard Baker used the Sand Lakes situation as
an example of conservation lands owned by the State and its districts and agencies. The idea was
brought up that if the State was going to dispose of conservation lands they should give the local
government (in whose jurisdiction those lands reside) a right of first refusal to acquire the
property. He said P&Z was recommending that the Board ask the State Legislative Delegation to
initiate legislation to put such a policy in place.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board by a 4-0 vote (Chairman

12. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS
12.A. DEMOLITION LIENS
Deputy County Attorney William DeBraal informed the Board that this dealt with
the County having demolished dilapidated and unsafe structures on eight properties throughout the
County. He said the Board approved this in 2006, with Resolutions in October and July. After
having demolished the unsafe structures, the Contractor submitted their costs to the County.
Attorney DeBraal requested the Board approve the costs as a lien to be assessed against the
properties where the structures once stood.
Glenn Legwen, 5900 5th Street, S.W., told the Board that the County not only
destroyed certain structures, but they also "carted away" a number of items that should not have
been taken. He did not feel that a lien should be placed on his property since items were taken that
would have allowed him to continue his nursery business.
County Attorney William Collins explained to Mr. Legwen that the lien represents
the cost to remove the unsafe structures, and that he had been given ample opportunity to remove
any personal property from the demolition site.
Attorney DeBraal agreed with Attorney Collins and added that he had gone out to
the property during the inspection with Mr. Legwen pursuant to the warrant, and he also went out
when the demolition contractor arrived on site. He clarified that the items Mr. Legwen referred to
were items that were mixed in with the rubble, parts of the building that had fallen down or been
discarded, and had been laying there for years. Attorney DeBraal further explained that the
demolition contractor followed the instructions that had been provided, and he was supposed to

airborne.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by

Wheeler absent) approved the lien amounts and authorized
the Chairman to sign the liens for recordation in the public
records, as recommended in the memorandum of October
