needed to build a well for water so they can plant; and, to build a sea wall so the people coming in
from the boats after fishing will not drown.
Mrs. White
, whose Church community has collected and donated books and money to
assist the needy in Mumford, appealed to everyone for assistance in helping to alleviate poverty
and to promote education in Mumford.
Chief Nana
acknowledged the receipt of gifts, in cash and kind, that he had already
received from the Church community. He just wanted to say thanks to the Vero Beach
Community Church; to other Church committees of Vero Beach; and, to the Board of County
Commissioners and everyone present.
Commissioner Lowther, a member of the Rotary Club in Vero Beach, believed the Club,
as an international body, would be willing to get involved in Chief Nana’s cause. He felt it was the
perfect opportunity for the Chief to bring the needs of his community to such an organization and

IN THE UNGLE RAIL UFFER AT SLAND LUB IVERSIDE
Commissioner Bowden noticed that the five (5) dead trees were large trees, and they are
being replaced with very small four-inch trees.
Chief of Environmental Planning Roland DeBlois corrected that they were four-inch
diameter trees, thirty (30) in all. Some would go in the Jungle Trail buffer the others in the Captain
Forester Hammock Preserve along the buffer. The Arborist with whom the County works feels
there is a higher survivability with the smaller trees as opposed to trying to transplant the larger
ones.
Commissioner Bowden felt larger substantial trees would be prudent since we were trying
to get a canopy effect.
Mr. DeBlois offered to seek out larger trees if the Board wishes. The larger trees could go
in the buffer and the smaller trees for the Preserve, which is more of a long-term restoration.
Discussion ensued regarding whose obligation it is to maintain the buffer; planting
season, and the survival rate of the larger trees.
Commissioner Wheeler recalled the $119, 250 posted Letter of Credit, which is being
reduced to $20,000 to pay for 39 live oaks and the five (5) major oak trees. He felt developers are
getting off easy and should be required to pay for the trees and give us a package that works rather
than shifting the burden to the County.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler,
SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther to advise
developers to pay for the trees and the County would
April 4, 2006 - 16 -
oversee it, and to look for larger trees and plant them when
they should be planted.
Director Bob Keating informed the Board that the Letter of Credit would expire on May
nd
2. If they cannot actually do the planting before then, they would have to call the Letter of Credit.
County Attorney William Collins concurred. Adding, that there will inevitably be a
dispute because the agreement said that they \[developers\] would not be liable for replacement in
the event that the trees are damaged or destroyed due to acts such as severe weather, etcetera.
Also, there was a question as to the condition of trees before the hurricanes whether they were
diseased.
County Administrator Joseph Baird said he would need permission to extend the Letter of
Credit for a year and pointed out that this should also be added to the motion.
MOTIONWASAMENDEDto read Letter of Credit
extended for a year.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
MOTION, as amended, carried unanimously. The Board
approved that the developer (Beazer Homes Corporation)
be required to do the planting, with the County overseeing;
that the trees in the Jungle Trail buffer be larger than 4”
diameter; and extended the Letter of Credit for an
additional one-year period.

specific in what we want on the PD’s and developers come in, after the fact, and did not produce as
agreed on. This may be setting a precedent and we may be “going down a slippery slope” for
readjustment, after the fact, on planned developments.
April 4, 2006 - 18 -
Public Works Director Jim Davis agreed with Commissioner Wheeler saying this was
somewhat a compromise; and, for some reason, they elected to mill off an inch of the existing road
instead of building it up.

Sheriff Raymond explained that the amendment gives them an opportunity, as long as the
budget continues growing this year, to purchase some of the capital items that would otherwise be
in next year’s budget. A lot of times it shows a good savings because they are able to buy, for
example, 2006 vehicles this year at a reduced rate of what they would pay in 2007.

Community Development Director Stan Boling explained that this was a continuation of a
PD rezoning request for a project that is located on the south side of Oslo Road. Through a slide
presentation he outlined the boundaries east and west. This Project is part of the “South County
Initiative” and a request to rezone property that’s currently zoned for a PD residential for The
Colony development that proposed a perimeter golf course, driving range, and multi-family and
single-family lots. He asked the Board to approve the Project subject to the conditions presented
in his memorandum of March 28, 2006.
Commissioner Lowther thanked Mr. Boling for a great presentation. He believed it was
th
he and Commissioner Bowden who had voted to create a cul-de-sac between 26 Street and SR 60.
Looking back at this concept, Grovenor Estates is actually not a part of the South County
Initiative; and, looking at the backside of The Colony felt we needed to go back to pedestrian only
and lead the traffic away from Grovenor Estates.
April 4, 2006 - 22 -
Commissioner Wheeler recalled reading a letter from Brackett & Company regarding the
two-storey issue that is another exception to the Planned Development. Looking at what was
approved by Planning & Zoning shows that they were not opposed to the conditions that
prohibited two-storey structures, yet they are asking now for approval of the Planned
Development.
Mr. Boling explained that the letter was not part of the approval. It would be something
the applicant may need to address separately.
The Chairman opened public hearing.
th
Mark Brackett
, 1915 34 Avenue, speaking for the Developer (Lockwood Lane
Development Group, LLC), had multiple meetings with property owners and of the 350 notices
sent out to residents of Shady Oaks and Grovenor Estates, 82% of the people responded saying
th
they did not want vehicular access to 13 Street SW.
The Chairman allowed Mr. Brackett to address the two-storey issue next.
Mr. Brackett
understood from one of the Planning & Zoning meetings there was a
request that no two-storey houses be built on adjacent lots, either side-by-side, across the street or
back-to-back. During those discussions, he had said he did not have a problem with that request.
Now Commissioner Wheeler is stating that what he agreed on was not an approval but a
recommendation to the Board from Planning & Zoning.
Commissioner Wheeler opined that the discussion and debate for two-storey homes
should have taken place at Planning & Zoning and felt they were bypassing Planning & Zoning.
April 4, 2006 - 23 -
Mr. Brackett
understood. It was not his intention because they notified Planning &
Zoning they would be coming up to make a request. He felt having no two-storey homes against
each other might not be a quick solution. His suggestion is as presented to the Board previously.
Discussion ensued regarding side-yard setbacks, square footage and the drawback of
Mr. Brackett
having no three-storey houses. sees the best solution as having no limit on
two-storey houses at all.
Commissioner Wheeler would like to have Planning & Zoning discussion and input.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED A SHORT RECESS AT 10:29 A.M. FOR CLOSED CAPTIONING PURPOSES.
THE MEETING RESUMED 10:41 A.M. WITH COMMISSIONER LOWTHER ABSENT.
HE REJOINED THE MEETING AT 10:42 A.M.
The public hearing continues.
th
Faith Freed
, 966 34 Avenue SW, does not want to see the value of her neighborhood go
down because of heavy traffic and pollution. She strongly opposed the north/south access.
th
Lori Collins
, 1255 34 Avenue SW, opposed the north/south access road. She felt, like
water, people would find the path of least resistance.
st
Ray Scent
, 1615 71 Court, gave a brief history of his neighborhood. He thinks no one
has the perfect thought on how things should be done for the future and that change was inevitable.
We should not just look at today but look to tomorrow before decisions are made.
April 4, 2006 - 24 -
th
Jeanne Evans
, 4015 12 St SW, Shady Oaks, represented neighbors who could not attend
but wanted to preserve the integrity of their neighborhood. He opposed the access road saying this
action will turn the community into towns like Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
th
Bud Barney
, 3628 12 Street SW, opposed the access.
th
Scott Klucinec
, 915 34 Avenue SW, opposed vehicular access from Turtle Creek to
Grovenor. He supported leaving it as an emergency and/or pedestrian access but not vehicular. He
th
referred to Mr. Brackett’s gesture of good faith regarding funding of improvements to 13 Street
SW. He was concerned that if Mr. Brackett did not receive significant benefit for Turtle Creek
th
from improvements to 13 Street SW, somehow he could refuse to pay for it and put the burden on
the County. He wondered then if the emergency access was not sufficient to warrant Mr. Brackett
th
being liable for the funding for the improvements to 13Street SW.
th
Rona Lerman
, 1133 38 Avenue SW, Grovenor Estates, opposed the access road. She
was not opposed to progress but felt she should have a say in how progress affected her
neighborhood.
nd
Nancy Olson
, 1340 32 Avenue SW, opposed the access road and asked the Board to
vote against it. She was concerned that the County would open a public road in a deed-restricted
community, and questioned who would maintain the road.
The Chairman also wanted to know who would maintain the road. Director Boling said it
is a similar arrangement with the roads in Pointe West, in particular neighborhoods design
community where the roads are privately owned and maintained and landscaped etc. but they are
not gated and are opened to the public.
th
Emily Domagtoy
, 1225 34 Avenue, said she and her husband are adamantly opposed to
the north/south access.
April 4, 2006 - 25 -
th
Wendy Cowan
, 1263 37 Avenue SW, did not see the benefits of the access road and
opposed it.
th
Jeb Hudson
, 4015 12 Place SW, Shady Oaks, asked the Board to approve Planning &
Zoning’s recommendation of no northern access other than emergency and pedestrian.
Mrs. Freed
sought to know what would be done to keep Turtle Creek neighborhood from
just taking the access themselves if the access is disallowed; and, what would be done to make a
closure for the area.
Director Boling assured her that there would be pedestrian access and emergency access
only where the design allowed. Emergency access would be gated off and pedestrian access would
not be wide enough to allow for vehicles. There would not be a structural way for there to be a
th
connection with 13 Street SW if the Board votes to not have that connection.
Mr. Klucinec
forgot to mention one thing. There are many communities in the County
that do not have continuity through them. It seems to work and he felt we do not need access to
th
13 Street SW from Turtle Creek.
th
Phillip Northup
, 4155 12 Place SW, Shady Oaks, opposed the access road.
th
Patricia Ross
, 1263 37Avenue SW, opposed the Turtle Creek opening, as it would
cause more congestion.
Donna Keys,
Chairman, Planning & Zoning Commission, felt one of the reasons people
th
in Grovenor Estates do not want access is because they do not want traffic. Also, not doing 13 St.
SW may not solve the problem, and it will continue to exacerbate the problem they have now. She
recalled that Attorney Collins indicated that since Mr. Brackett does not get the benefit of the
thth
north/south access to 13 Street SW, he should not be forced to pave 13 Street SW and we
th
probably will not be able to make him pave 13 Street SW.
April 4, 2006 - 26 -
Attorney Collins confirmed that recollection and stated that there is a concern that if you
are opposed to conditions there has to be an impact that is roughly proportional to the benefit you
th
must provide. If there are no trips going on to 13 Street the exaction of improving the roads
becomes problematic.
Ms. Keys
inquired if the suggestion is, we could tighten up the legalities of this; take out
ththrd
the north/south access; pave 13 St. SW from 27 to 43 Avenues and solve problems not only for
Turtle Creek and Grovenor Estates. That would be an option she would like the Board to possibly
th
consider and have Attorney Collins come up with a way to tighten up, so that 13 Street SW could
be paved solving the problem for the north and south communities.
Ms. Keys two-storey homes
addressed the matter of. She stated that Mr. Brackett had
indicated that he had a problem with the restriction on two-storey homes and he understands why
Planning & Zoning has requested a restriction on two-storey homes. She felt it was unfair for Mr.
Brackett to be asking for a change now.
Mr. Brackett,
in response to Ms. Keys’ comments, said he had agreed with the
recommendations, which were not approval or denial, but for her to infer that there was a
conversion where he agreed to a tradeoff was incorrect.
Ms. Keys
recanted her inference stating Mr. Brackett is right and there was no give and
take on this. There was only an agreement on a 40% build-out.
George Christophertwo-storey issue
, Planning & Zoning member, sees the as just the
tip of an iceberg, as there are no design criteria or guidelines. He suggested that if it is approved
the way it is being proposed, as a minimum, input should be required from staff. Also Mr. Brackett
should be required to come back before staff with the design of these houses, how they are going to
be laid out, where the setbacks are going to be and get staff to approve it. Further, the Board
April 4, 2006 - 27 -
should direct staff to come up with guidelines on second storey issues and beyond it. He had asked
Planning & Zoning for a workshop on these issues and had not gotten a response. He felt the
Board might want to consider that.
Joseph Paladin
, 6450 Tropical Way, on the issue of inter-connectivity, understands that
staff is trying to meet concurrency issues and solving traffic problems as well. However, he
opposed access through old neighborhoods.
Mr. Paladintwo-storey homes
, on the , stated that Craig Fletcher and other Planning &
Zoning members had asked him to define a two-storey home. His definition will be submitted, in
writing, to Planning & Zoning for approval. He felt the Board should consider passing an overall
law as developers needed to have pride in what they do and they should also be required to submit
design and criteria that are pleasing to the eye.
Ms. Collins
wanted to clarify that the north/south access and the two-storey houses are
two separate issues. She asked the Chairman to deal with the north/south access first.
Chairman Neuberger explained that although they were two separate issues they would be
dealt with as one and would be voted on as such.
th
Al Sholan
, 4045 12 Place, Shady Oaks, thought it would be wonderful if the access road
is set south.
th
Frank Britt
, 1136 34 Avenue SW, Grovenor Estates, opposed the access road and
th
thought they should do it on the other side of the canal or down 17 Street.
th
Ms. Cowan
sought confirmation on whether or not, in the year 2000, 13 Street SW was
already in the plans to get paved in 2004.
April 4, 2006 - 28 -
Public Works Director Jim Davis commented that there was a plan, as well as an approved
thth
project, to pave 13 Street SW from the existing pavement in, just west of Ainsley Park to 35
rd
Avenue SW but not further west to 43 Avenue; but this particular project with Turtle Creek will
rd
pave it all the way in to 43 Avenue.
The Chairman closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to go with Planning
& Zoning’s recommendation to do away with the
north/south access and go with the pedestrian/emergency
th
access on 13 Street SW, and also to make sure
th
construction traffic stays off 13 Street SW.
He wanted the two-storey issue sent back to Planning &
Zoning for discussion and input.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bowden asked for clarification on: (1) whether
the school site property has been deeded over to the School Board; and, (2) how many acres does
the elementary school have. Director Boling responded in the negative to question one but that the
property would be deeded soon. There are twenty (20) acres gross for the elementary school.
Commissioner Wheeler opposed the Motion as stated but favored moving the two-storey
issue back to Planning & Zoning.
Mr. Boling sought clarity on whether the Motion should be: to eliminate conditions 1(i)
and 4(d); and, condition 7 would be changed to restrict 2 storey homes within the project as
determined by Planning & Zoning.
April 4, 2006 - 29 -
Attorney Collins asserted that Planning & Zoning’s recommendation is not to have
two-storey homes next to each other. If they wanted to modify that they would have to go back to
Planning and Zoning for a change
Commissioner Davis recalled that in the past he had agreed with Commissioner Wheeler
on interconnectivity and looking at it now on a case-by-case basis it makes a big difference. He
felt they owed it to residents to try to protect their quality of life as they give developers the
opportunity with their rights to develop.
Commissioner Bowden agreed with Mr. Paladin that to change the ambience and flavor of
old neighborhoods is almost unconscionable. She suggested spreading the traffic out without
having it be a burden to everyone.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
MOTION carried 4-1 (Commissioner Wheeler opposed).
The Board approved the adoption of Ordinance 2006-008
amending the Zoning ordinance and the accompanying
Zoning map for approximately 291.00 acres of land
th
generally located between 13 Street SW on the north and
thth
17 Street SW on the south, and between 27 Avenue on
rd
the East and 43 Avenue on the west; from PD residential
(The Colony PD) to PD residential (Turtle Creek Preserve
PD); providing for severability and effective date.
Items 1(i), 1.j.(1), 1.j.(2), and 4.d to be removed from
staff’s recommendations on pages 354-356 (in the backup).
Item 7 regarding two-storey homes is to be sent back to
th
Planning & Zoning. Construction traffic is to stay off 13
Street SW.
April 4, 2006 - 30 -
Director Keating asked for clarity on whether the Board was delegating the two- storey
issue to Planning & Zoning and that it does not need to be a PD amendment.
Attorney Collins explained that it does not need to be a public hearing. They have a
condition now that says as part of the PD rezoning no two-storey homes may be built on adjacent
lots. They could either go with that or go back to Planning & Zoning to work something out that
they can recommend to the Board.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Wheeler,
SECONDED for discussion by Commissioner Davis and
Chairman Neuberger, to direct staff to come back with the
pros and cons of creating an Architectural Review
Committee for PD’s.
Under discussion, Chairman Neuberger suggested the Motion be defeated and that the
matter be put on a future Agenda and ask staff to look at and report on the pros and cons of creating
an architectural review board for PD’s. Commissioner Bowden agreed.
Vice Chairman Wheeler WITHDREW the Motion and
AGREED to put the matter on next week’s Agenda.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED A SHORT RECESS AT 11:53 A.M. FOR CLOSED CAPTIONING PURPOSES. THE

PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Manager of Assessment Projects Dan Chastain related that on February 14, 2006 County
Attorney Collins brought to their attention that due to a scrivener’s error in the advertisement they
needed to re-advertise, hence the matter being back before the Board. He has had calls from
residents questioning why the need for another public hearing and why they were not going out to
bid. He assured them nothing has changed since they last came to the Board (2/14/06), and that the
estimated cost remains the same ($372,000). He requested approval of the third resolution; and,
through a slide presentation, pointed out the southern-most section of the County that still lacks
County water.
Chairman Neuberger inquired whether or not Lakewood Park (in St. Lucie County) has
public water. Mr. Chastain was not aware.
The Chairman opened the public hearing.
th
Ila Kane,
2345 30 Avenue SW, is in the process of selling her house and has heard talk
that there will be a lien on her house. She did not want to have to pay for something from which she
would not benefit.
During discussion it was suggested that she could consider adding the cost to the sale price
of her home.
April 4, 2006 - 32 -
Ms. Kane
, using a map, pointed out the water line and her house, which is situated in the
middle of two lots and noted that she will be charged for two.
Mr. Chastain promised to eliminate the unnecessary service charge
There were no additional speakers and the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously approved
Resolution 2006-047 confirming the special assessments in

Bruce Genereux,
4406 6 Street SW, complained about the volume of traffic, pollution,
and the level of noise from “boomers” in his community. He offered the Board three (3) options:
(1) Do nothing; (2) compensate residents by lowering taxes; or, (3) direct the Sheriff’s
April 4, 2006 - 33 -
Department to start enforcing these laws - maybe four hours a week. He sought to get a
commitment from the Board that they would speak with the Sheriff’s Department.
Chairman Neuberger informed him that the County does not direct the Sheriff on how to
do his job.
Commissioner Wheeler joined in that the County has no such authority but that the City
Council may direct the Sheriff’s Office. He understood Mr. Genereux’s frustration about the noise
from boom boxes and recommended he contact the Sheriff directly and not bypass the
bureaucracy.

County Attorney William Collins reviewed his memorandum of March 28, 2006 (copy on
file – page 514 of backup) and requested permission to take forward the proposal from some
developers that when they have met the County code with the desired graded thickness of
roadway, they would like to delay the final lift until most of their homes are in, which is about the
time they turn it over to the homeowners association. Further, that the proposal be sent forward to
Professional Services Advisory Committee, Planning & Zoning, and ultimately to the Board.
Attorney Collins took the opportunity to highlight the complaints of some Citrus Springs
representatives that there were gates that were not installed showing on their land development
April 4, 2006 - 39 -
permits. He felt this was the type of thing we could perhaps incorporate into bonding requirements
for matters shown on approved plans that exceeded our County codes and have some mechanism
to loop back in after the required improvements have been installed.
Commissioner Davis questioned whether the comment “bonding in cash” meant the
Irrevocable Letter of Credit made payable to the County. Attorney Collins said it meant cash
escrow in the County’s escrow fund.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowden,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis to approve the
County Attorney’s request as presented.
Under discussion, Chairman Neuberger commented that by mentioning the final lift
indicated that there was an initial lift; and, questioned whether most of the subdivisions were not
1” total. If so, what were they considering?
Attorney Collins thinks most are more than one (1) inch.
Director Davis provided that our County standards are fairly old and over the years they
have only required an inch of asphalt. That is usually adequate in smaller subdivisions, but some
of the larger subdivisions we are seeing with several hundred homes, that carry a lot more traffic,
probably needed to be designed beefier than some of the old regulations require. Many do put in
two (2) lifts then come in later with a final inch and a half. It would have to be put in prior to
Certificate of Completion and cannot bond off.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion
carried unanimously. The Board authorized staff to present
this matter to the Professional Services Advisory
Committee for a recommendation to the Board of County

OVEMBER ENERAL LECTION
Vice Chairman Wheeler explained his proposal for a non-binding Straw Ballot asking
voters’ opinion by posing the question “Do you favor the adoption of a Special Act for Indian
River County by the Florida Legislature to require voter approval of any amendment to the Indian
River County Comprehensive Plan which expands the urban service area boundary?”
He attended five (5) Council meetings and three (3) approved his proposal. The City of Vero
Beach did not take a position and Fellsmere, with a 4-0 vote, opposed it. The only County expense
would be advertisement.
Chairman Neuberger felt they already knew the outcome and thus did not need a
referendum.
Commissioner Lowther strongly opposed the proposal and discussed the matter at length.
He questioned the wisdom of the matter coming back for discussion. The majority of the people
with whom he spoke did not know where the urban service line was. If we move forward with the
urban service boundary issue, he would do everything in his power to promote a property tax cap
associated with it.
April 4, 2006 - 41 -
Chairman Neuberger explained that Commissioner Wheeler was entitled to bring the
matter back for discussion, but he thought the Legislature says if you bring it up once in a session
you cannot come back again for another year. He felt the Board needed to discuss the matter
otherwise this would keep coming up and soon become a political football with no end.
Commissioner Wheeler felt the tax cap was a good idea. He was only seeking voters’
opinion and failed to understand the fear in putting this on the ballot.
Discussion ensued on whether the public knew anything about the urban service line; and,
whether or not this should be looked at as an educational tool.
Commissioner Wheeler related the objective of his campaign, which is to educate people.
Commissioner Bowden felt it was good to have the community speak loud and clear. As
far as educating the public, she suggested staff giving a presentation on exactly where the urban
service line is explaining what is inside and outside of it.
Discussion ensued and centered on tax implications and what Commissioner Wheeler was
trying to accomplish.
Although not a public hearing, the Chairman invited the public to speak.
Mr. Ital Veron
, 280 Pepper Tree, member of the Indian River Neighborhood Association
(IRNA), supported strongly Commissioner Wheeler’s proposed referendum. He encouraged
Commissioners to support the cause saying he did not believe that people have to know the course
of the urban service line, but people will participate if you give them a chance.
Chairman Neuberger and Mr. Veron engaged in discussion regarding the low percentage
of voters and whether it reflected good government.
April 4, 2006 - 42 -
Commissioner Wheeler addressed the Chairman regarding voter turnout and his desire to
protect the urban service boundary against future pressures to expand it.
Bill Menzies,
1943 Tamara Trail, hoped the Board would support the proposal and give
the people a chance to vote. No harm will arise in having voters give a clear message.
Nicholas Schaus
, 137 Anchor Drive, recounted how a group in Florida that had been
trying to get a constitutional amendment that would provide that any change or amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan would be done by vote of the people and not by commissioners. He thought
voters were qualified to make a decision and hoped the Board would support the proposal.
Chairman Neuberger, to highlight his concern, drew reference to the “bullet train, class
size amendment and pregnant pig” issues and how people, in the past, voted without having any
idea how much it was going to cost, but that it seemed like a good idea.
During discussion, Commissioner Davis indicated his opposition to putting this question
to the electorate for a straw ballot. He has made clear his position of “holding the line” on
expansion of the urban service area and if he violates that he expected the voters to hold him
accountable. There are merits for putting questions to the electorate, but we have a representative
form of government and he believed that was what our forefathers wanted when they formed it.
Honey Minuse
, 27 Starfish Drive, suggested that the proposal has potential for impact to
the entire community and would like to see voters have their say on this.
Karl Zimmermann
, 1786 Coral Way North, encouraged the Board to defeat
Commissioner Wheeler’s motion. He believes it is an affront to representative government, and
starting to have referendums is the first step towards dissolving the responsibility of everyone
including Commissioners.
April 4, 2006 - 43 -
Joseph Flescher
, 279 Joy Haven Drive, Sebastian commended Commissioners Bowden
and Wheeler for their positions on this issue. He believed education and awareness would widen
the voters understanding of the matter.
George Hamner, Jr
., 995 Sandfly Lane, Rio Mar, had no doubt the Indian River
Neighborhood Association (IRNA) supported the proposal. He agreed with Mr. Zimmermann that
you could not have good government with referendums like this; there are too many issues. He
thought the urban service line has become a taxing and emotional issue. He asked Commissioner
Davis to clarify his position on never moving the urban service line and hoped he meant for
residential purposes.
Mr. Higgs
, a county resident, stated that IRNA is not against non-residential expansion
and thought the issue here is not government by referendum. There are certain fundamental issues
in which the public does have an interest; and, what better way to educate the public than to have a
straw ballot.
th
Gene Waddell
, 8155 25 Street, felt referendums are voted from the heart and hopes the
Board votes from the head. He suggested Messrs. Christopher and Bass (Growth Awareness
Committee), who had previously offered to provide feedback from the community on other
matters, be appointed to seek feedback on this issue.
Debra Daige
, Vero Beach, wished more people would take more interest in how their
government works. She sees this more as an educational issue; felt it could go either way; and,
voters should be given the opportunity so we would know how they feel about this issue.
Penny Chandler
, Indian River County Chamber of Commerce, agreed that this is about
education. She urged the Board to deal with the matter of “Sustainable Treasure Coast” first and
wait until those issues are discussed in public and among the counties before a vote is given on
Commissioner Wheeler’s proposal.
April 4, 2006 - 44 -
Dr. Richard Baker
, Pelican Island Audubon Society, and member of Sustainable
Treasure Coast, noted that there was a workshop in July regarding the Sustainable Treasure Coast
issue. He thought a straw ballot referendum is a good way to educate the public.
Douglas Bournique
, Executive Vice President, Indian River County Citrus League,
representing citrus growers, had no position on the urban service boundary. He opposed a
referendum, and felt that government by referendum is not good government.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowden, the Board approved (3-2
Commissioners Davis and Lowther opposed) to place a
Question on the November 2006 General Elections, in the
form of a Straw Ballot – Non-binding Referendum, worded
as follows: “Do you favor the adoption of a special act for
Indian River County by the Florida Legislature to require
voter approval of any amendment to the Indian River
County Comprehensive Plan which expands the urban
service area boundary?”, YES, for special act and NO,
against the special act.
