(CLERK’S NOTE: This item was heard prior to 7.A. and is placed here for continuity.)
Commissioner Macht mentioned that Mark Brackett proposed to develop a multi-use
theatre in the old Theatre Plaza and he asked the Board to keep this in mind for fund approval
from the TDC.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht,
SECONDED by Commissioner Neuberger, to approve
staff’s recommendation.
Discussion continued.
Commissioner Neuberger agreed with Commissioner Macht.
Chairman Ginn concurred.
Administrator Baird said TDC funds could be used for non-profit not private business.
Commissioner Macht said they could participate in the fundraising.
County Attorney Will Collins explained tourist dollars could be used for Capital
Improvement if it is owned and operated by a non-profit, but it cannot be used for Capital
Improvement when it is owned and operated by a private individual.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
motion carried unanimously. (The Board unanimously

PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE
OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Community Development Director Bob Keating used a PowerPoint presentation (copy
on file) to give a detailed explanation of the request to rezone part of the subject site (10.76 acres) from
RS-6 to RM-6 in order that the entire tract has the same zoning. This rezoning is exempt from
concurrency and will not increase density. The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff
recommend the Board approve this request.
Commissioner Macht understood direction was given to staff to have site plans
approved by the Board.
Director Keating replied that he had no knowledge of such a directive.
Attorney Collins advised such a directive would require an ordinance amendment.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht,
SECONDED BY Commissioner Neuberger, to direct
the County Attorney to amend the Ordinance
authorizing the Board to approve all site plans, instead
JUNE 1, 2004
16
of approval at staff or the Planning and Zoning
Commission (P&Z) level. (This motion was
withdrawn later in the meeting.)
Discussion continued regarding the responsibilities of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, staff and the rights of the Board.
Attorney Collins stated the Board’s responsibility would be limited to assuring adopted
codes are applied. They cannot change or impose additional conditions on a site plan.
Commissioner Macht then WITHDREW HIS MOTION, but wanted a means of
reviewing site plans.
Commissioner Adams pointed out that the Board has the opportunity individually to
review the plan in the Planning Department with the Planner of the Day.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard
regarding this matter.
John Williams
, 1535 Smugglers Cove, asked the Board to broaden the public’s
awareness and put more trust in the public.
Brian Heady
, Vero Beach, felt the Board needs control and oversight to be of value to
the public, and bring matters to public scrutiny. He thought without a withdrawal of the second, the
Board needed to act on prior motion.
nd
Sherrie Verhoevan
, 4340 2 Square SW, spoke of the lack of communication
between the Board and staff and asked the Board to follow-up on directions to staff.
Attorney Collins pointed out this item is a rezoning request and the site plan comes
later for approval.
JUNE 1, 2004
17
Discussion ensued by the Commissioners regarding placing the site plan in the County
Commission Office for public view and placing it on the consent agenda so anyone who has a question
can have the item pulled for discussion.
Attorney Collins advised that placing site plans on the consent agenda would mean
revising procedures by Ordinance. Currently the site plans are viewable in the Planner of the Day
office. He explained that the Board must approve a request if it meets the criteria of the Code and the
only alternative is to have the Code changed which is the process that is currently underway.
Commissioner Ginn thought they might want to consider broadcasting the Planning
and Zoning Commission meetings.
Administrator Baird agreed.
Attorney Mark Barkett
told the Board they do not govern by mob, they govern by
law. The P&Z addresses the site plan and Board already has oversight authority.
Joseph Paladin
, President of Atlantic Coast Construction and Development,
emphasized that staff has been working hard to comply with the Board’s requests.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard with regard to this matter.
There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Neuberger,
SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board
unanimously adopted Ordinance 2004-016, amending
the zoning ordinance and the accompanying zoning
map for approximately 10.76 acres located
th
approximately 620 feet east of 27 Avenue and 630
th
feet south of 9 Street S.W. (Oslo Road), from RS-6,
single-family residential district (up to 6 units/acre) to

and effective date.
9.B.1. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - BRIAN HEADY’S REQUEST TO
DISCUSS CURRENT AND PAST ACTIONS WHICH RELATE TO
IMPOSITION OF IMPACT FEES
Chairman Ginn asked the discussions be limited to 3 minutes.
Brian Heady,
Vero Beach, said the Board empowers growth by building wide
boulevards in residential neighborhoods, which he feels is not creating a safe situation.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN.
9.B.2. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – JEFF THOMPSON’S REQUEST
TO DISCUSS 43RD AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT (VERO
MILLWORKS, INC.)
Jeff Thompson, 2307 Seville Avenue, co-owner of Vero Millworks, Inc. and the Indian
rd
River Industrial Park, is in favor of the 43 Avenue five lane project and explained his hopes to
develop and sell improved building sites for the Industrial Park. This expansion will provide the means
to build a new 90,700 square foot building for Vero Millworks, Inc. Eliminating the five lane project
means the Vero Millworks plan will not be able to be built as the road will not meet capacity. They had
to modify their expansion plans by 15% and now they have to pay all the impact fees up front which
they cannot afford. He asked the Board to allow him to “reserve his lengths” without paying all of the
impact fees up front and to reconsider their decision made on May 17, 2004.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN.

9.B.3. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – TIM ZORC’S REQUEST TO
RD
DISCUSS 43 AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT
th
Tim Zorc
, 4415 5 Place SW, was in favor of the five-lane project. He mentioned
public projects that would not meet concurrency with a three-lane project besides Vero Millworks,
Inc.:
a)County Utilities Facilities Maintenance Building
b)County jail expansion
c)Vacant industrial land around the Vero Beach airport
d)The Piper area
e)The church being relocated to accommodate the new Administration building
f)New Administration Building
He displayed a sketch of a boulevard concept that would give a residential feel to the
rd
project. He said the scope of service for the design on 43 Avenue left out a critical element of holding
public workshops. He made the following suggestions:
a)Establish rules and guidelines for when a road widening project leaves a certain distance
from an existing home
b)Purchase the homes involved in the right-of-way acquisition and not place the burden on
the homeowner
c)Reconsider the Board’s decision at their May 17 meeting

9.B.4. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – FOWLER, WHITE, BOGGS, AND
RD
BANKER REQUEST TO DISCUSS 43 AVENUE WIDENING
PROJECT (KAREN BRODY)
Karen Brody
, Attorney from the law firm of Fowler, White, Boggs, and Banker of
Tallahassee, represents P& S Properties and the owners of The Colony. She gave a brief summary of
her background saying she had been with the Department of Community Affairs 14 years prior to
working with this firm. She reviewed the following:
a)The presentation at the May 17 and 18 Board meetings
b)The Comp Plan
c)The Land Development Regulations (LDRS) on concurrency
d)The 2001 Municipal Planning Organization (MPO) Plan
e)The 2001 Executive Summary of the MPO Plan.
Ms. Brody
displayed a table showing the Transportation Improvement of the County
Comprehensive Plan and read Florida Statutes Section 163.3177.3(b) pointing out the decision not to
rd
widen 43 Avenue to five lanes meant changing the Comp Plan and that would require going through
the Comp Plan amendment process. The only exception to that process is the Capital Improvement
Ms. Brody
Element, and it is limited to certain situations. noted at the workshops the public talked
about safety. This was the #1 priority in Transportation Policy 1.3, Capitol Improvement Policy 1.2,
and safety was the #1 factor for planning the widening project. She stated the Board is mandated by
rd
state law and the Comp Plan to maintain levels of service already established; 43 Avenue is classified
at Level-D. She mentioned the Capital Improvement Policies 1.1, 1.5, 3.3, and 3.4 and Objective 5 that
mention firm commitments from the County to follow through with this project. Property owners are
entitled to rely on representation by the County because of these policies, and when you talk about
reliance there are going to be certain legal entitlements, i.e. equitable estoppel considerations and the
Ms. Brody
Bert Harris Act ramifications. asked the Board to reconsider their vote from May 17,
rescind that decision not to fund the project and go forward with it as stated in the Comp Plan.
JUNE 1, 2004
21
The Board asked attorney Collins for his opinion and he agreed with the issues raised
by Attorney Brody, however, he did question whether a claim would succeed based on an equitable
estoppel or Bert Harris Act. He confirmed the fact that because the improvement is in the Traffic
Circulation Element and the Capitol Improvement Element of the Comp Plan it is necessary to initiate
Comp Plan amendments to revise those elements.
Commissioner Macht clarified that the decision on May 17 was not to widen but to
study alternatives.
Attorney Collins said Public Works has looked at alternatives and their findings were
to be discussed later in the meeting under County Administrator matters.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN.
9.B.5. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – ADRIENE CUFFE’S REQUEST TO
RD
DISCUSS 43 AVENUE WIDENING
rd
Adriene Cuffe,
695 43 Avenue,thanked the Board for their motion and unanimous
rd
vote on May 17 (to look at three laning 43 Avenue). She read the mission statement of the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council that says “…promotes health, safety and general welfare and plans
for future development of the region that will keep it competitive and afford a high quality of life.” She
believes this is what everyone wants. She told the Board they do not have to stop growth to avoid
becoming like South Florida. They just have to implement the appropriate measures by reviewing and
changing the Comp Plan and the long-range traffic plan to accommodate the needs of all to make it
work.
NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN.

purchase it and convert it into a medical building. This property is currently zoned residential. The
Planning Department staff has told him that he cannot rezone this property for medical use at this time
because it is outside of the medical node. He wanted to present this to the Board for individual
consideration.
Commissioner Adams referred him to Mr. Keating to start the process of rezoning.

10.A. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S MATTERS – DISCUSSION &
RD
CLARIFICATION ON 43AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT
County Administrator Joseph Baird wanted to clear up a lot of confusion regarding the
direction given in the motion made on May 17 at the Special meeting. Staff looked into a three-lane
rd
project on 43 Avenue and realized it will not solve the capacity problem. However, they will redesign
it if the Board wishes. Staff needs specific direction on the widening of the bridge north of the
intersection at SR60, because they believe for the improvements to increase capacity at the intersection
rd
at 43 Avenue and SR60 the bridge needs to be widened. These improvements will affect the
commercial establishments, but the work still needs to be done.
Attorney Collins said the action taken on May 17 is not consistent with Policy 1.6 of
the Capital Improvement Element of the Comp Plan. He read the policy stating that deleting the
five-lane project means alternate projects have to be in place that could provide necessary capacity and
concurrency. He did not believe such alternate projects exist. Proceeding with a three-lane project
would require a number of amendments to the Traffic Circulation and Capital Improvement Elements
of the Comp Plan.
Chairman Ginn read different parts of the Transportation Element of the Comp Plan
several times and found it confusing. She questioned several areas:
rd
1.It does not specify 43 Avenue as a five lane project
rd
2.43 Avenue is established at a LOS-B
thrdrd
3.58 Avenue project was completed prior to the 43 Avenue project when 43
Avenue is rated a number one priority.
4.It states 5 years for completion of committed improvements when the State allows
2 years.
Chairman Ginn felt it was obvious that the Comp Plan needed to be amended.
Director Keating explained that the principle function of the Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) once approved by MPO is to seek funding from the Department Of
Transportation (DOT). This project was listed on the last TIP for funding and already exists in the
rd
committed network system. He was uncertain why 43 Avenue was rated in the TIP at LOS-B
JUNE 1, 2004
25
opposed to LOS-D. In 2003 they were using data from a few years past and since then the State has
rd
changed the level of service standards. He said the latest studies indicated 43 Avenue to be at a
high-end of LOS-D.
th
Director Jim Davis gave an explanation regarding the 58 Avenue project. He said
both projects were underway simultaneously. Due to tremendous growth and in order to manage
rdthrd
traffic around 43 Avenue they proceeded with the 58 Avenue project before the 43 Avenue project.
rd
They also endured a 25% growth in traffic in the 43 Avenue corridor. He said it is not uncommon
with the growth that we have endured to find percentages of traffic increasing dramatically.
There was a question and answer period regarding acceptable levels of service and
Traffic Engineer Chris Mora explained the differences in capacity between the different levels.
Chairman Ginn felt Director Davis’s reasoning was a fair assessment of the situation
and she retracted her comments regarding the Comp Plan.
ththth
Discussion continued regarding other corridor expansion projects for 12, 20 and 27
Avenues. These corridors will handle limited excess capacity. As to the idea of a boulevard median
Director Davis said it would be time extensive, costly, and require additional front yard setbacks. He
stated staff has exhaustively looked at making the three-lane project work, but found a burden was
being put on other corridors that cannot handle it.
Commissioner Lowther believed the boulevard design was the direction to take no
matter what the cost if the three-lane project is denied, especially with the growth expected from St.
Lucie County.
Discussion ensued regarding front yard setbacks and Director Davis responded to
alternative ideas made by the Board.
JUNE 1, 2004
26
Chairman Ginn again displayed her frustration with projects not listed in the TIP
program.
rd
Administrator Baird said if they three lane 43 Avenue now they will have to make
further improvements again in a couple of years. The five-lane project means they may have to
purchase some properties, but in the long run it would be cost effective.
Commissioner Lowther said his motion made on May 17 says, “to approve a redesign
rd
on 43rd Avenue,” and others said it was to “look at a redesign of 43 Avenue.”
Executive Aide Kim Massung played a portion of the video of the May 17 meeting for
all to view the motion to make the matter clear.
rd
Attorney Collins said staff was looking at having dual left turn lanes at the 43
Avenue & SR60 intersection from all approaches and this action would solve some of the capacity
problems.
Traffic Engineer Chris Mora said to get that many lanes at the intersection would
rd
require additional footage. He also explained because 43 Avenue is so close to capacity they need the
additional lanes to raise the LOS.
After viewing the video it was determined that the motion on May 17 was to “look at”
rd
a redesign of 43 Avenue as three lanes, and possibly redesign the intersection at SR60, but keep it
three lanes. Commissioner Macht seconded the motion to include the intersections at the other
thoroughfares.
The discussion turned to the project of Vero Millworks, Inc. and Director Keating
explained that Vero Millworks, Inc. is at a standstill until the Land Use Element is amended. In order
to do the type of improvements that would allow that project and others to be concurrent, staff would
have to do the full road expansion.
JUNE 1, 2004
27
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Neuberger,
to approve staff’s recommendation, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht for discussion.
An extensive discussion continued with Engineer Mora responding to questions
concerning the diversion of traffic to other corridors, five lanes converting to three lanes, a median or
redesigning the border. The Board learned that all the issues are germane. They would require
additional time and staff could not guarantee completion in 24 months and still solve the concurrency
issue.
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard regarding this matter and opened
this item up for public input.
th
Mark Brackett,
1915 34 Avenue, felt the Board should not take action on the
opinions of a few residents. He asked the Board to look at the long-range plan and to make their
decision based on that.
Commissioner Macht did not believe that was the case. The Board was asked to look at
alternatives and that is exactly what they are doing.
rd
Dr. Denis Scarpinato, DVM
, 1905 43 Avenue, questioned how his property would
be impacted by these improvements. His concerns were the possiblity of losing sufficient access to his
business and the possibility of being forced to go out of business. He asked the Board to buy his
business or relocate it. He preferred the latter.
Chairman Ginn stated it was not their intention to put him out of business.
Director Davis said 6’ to 12’ could be the additional impact if they five lane the
intersection. He said it would be difficult to do a project of this size in an urban area with the type of
widening they are envisioning without disrupting some of the properties. They could not present a
design on the intersection at this time to provide any specifics.
JUNE 1, 2004
28
Frank Coffey,
1200 Admirals Way, questioned the impact of downsizing by Vero
rd
Millworks, Inc., moving the Supervisor of Elections onto 43 Avenue, the development of Dodger
rd
Pines and the future development of the golf course on 43 Avenue.
Administrator Baird did not feel concurrency could be met for those projects
mentioned by Mr. Coffey if they proceed with the three-lane project.
Director Keating explained that since the May 17Special meeting staff has been
operating under the assumption that the five-lane project was no longer committed.
nd
Tony Basso,
4352 2 Square SW, suggested looking at property values now and if
they decline he felt the property owners could be compensated at the end of the project if they proceed
th
with 5-lanes. He suggested 58Avenue through Indrio be made a major truck route and questioned if
ththnd
this was considered. He also recommended paving 8 Street or 12 Street all the way to 82 Avenue
to offer an alternative route to the west.
Director Davis responded staff has already implemented most of his suggestions. He
th
said there are multiple opportunities to divert traffic. Kings Highway (58Avenue) is probably the
best, however, the traffic is diverting there now.
Director Keating said they are currently working with St Lucie County on our new
long-range transportation plan.
ndth
Sherrie Verhoeven,
4340 2 Square SW, agreed with Mr. Basso regarding 12 Street.
rd
She complained how difficult it is to make a left turn onto 43 Avenue without a turn lane. She felt the
lack of consistent information and confusion between staff and the Board was a big problem. She
wanted to know when they would stop wasting time. She had several questions regarding why the
rd
speed limit was changed on 43 Avenue and why staff did not have a design for the intersection
rd
improvements when it was up for approval. She asked the Board to three-lane 43 Avenue and amend
the Comp Plan to preserve the safety and uniqueness of Indian River County.
Administrator Baird said the speed limit was changed to 35 mph when they closed Oslo
rd
Road and 43Avenue due to construction.
JUNE 1, 2004
29
rd
Adriene Cuffe,
695 43 Avenue, understood the motion made May 17 was that a
study was to be made. Her concern was that the study has not been presented formally to the Board.
She thought a little more time was needed in order to get a better understanding. She also questioned
why staff did not have a design to show Dr. Scarpinato when the project has been planned for 9 years.
She felt there is some ambiguity about the LOS at different years and questioned the reasoning why
rd
43 from Oslo has first priority. She thinks this needs to be considered before another decision is
made.
Director Davis clarified that they have a five lane road design in front of Dr.
Scarpinato’s property, but they do not have the expanded intersection design, which includes the dual
lefts transitioning back to the single left turn lane.
th
Harvey McFeaters,
4320 15 Place, said he was in favor of the original five-lane plan
and he asked the Board to proceed with that project.
Penny Chandler
, representing the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce,
pointed out that the level of service has to be improved in order to use the Transportation Impact Fee.
Proceeding with the three-lane project means looking for funding from other sources. She suggested
bringing into the mix a group from the Regional Planning Council to look at options and develop a
consensus among the groups.
Chairman Ginn thought it was a good idea to engage the Regional Planning Council to
rd
do a charette on the intersection and the whole 43 Avenue. She said the Commissioners needed to
rd
travel 43 Avenue with staff so staff can show them exactly what is going to happen.
Commissioner Adams did not feel that was necessary.
Eric Barkett
, representing Dodgertown Venture LLLC, said the new jail and the new
rd
County Administration building projects could not be done without widening 43 Avenue to five lanes
and making improvements at the intersection. He disagreed with the interpretation of Policy 1.6. by
Attorney Collins to mean that they can have other projects to maintain the level of service. Mr. Barkett
JUNE 1, 2004
30
interprets it to say that they have to do this project unless it is going to be developed by another
developer. He concluded the motion before the Board is appropriate. They had staff look at
alternatives and there are no viable alternatives that will solve the concurrency problem. He urged the
rdth
Board to go forward to correct the intersection and five-lane 43 Avenue at least to 8 Avenue.
Chuck Mechling,
1999 Pointe West Drive, thinks the esthetic vision of our roadway
system and how it interacts in residential areas should be a direct relationship to the quality of life that
we want to see. He sided with staff and felt the Board should follow the adopted grid system.
Anthony Donadio
, 1665 E. Rosewood Court, was in favor of the five-lane project.
th
Robert Johnson,
535 39 Court SW,requested the Board to ask staff to present a
design showing specifically what will be at the intersection before they make a decision.
Jerry Swanson,
1510 Coral Oak Lane, a developer involved in the Dodgertown
property, asked the Board to reconsider the decision made May 17 and encouraged them to rely on the
Comp Plan to make decisions that involve millions of dollars.
th
Joan Johnson,
535 SW 39 Court, felt communication was a problem because when
rd
she inquired if staff was going to expand 43 Avenue she was told “no.” She expressed concerns on
safety and concerns on traffic monitoring by the Sheriff’s office. She felt that should be included in
County planning.
(CLERK’S NOTE: The Chairman called for a brief recess at 12:10 p.m. and
reconvened the meeting with all members present at 12:17 p.m.)
Karen Brody
provided information regarding the Bert Harris Act explaining many
results of claims are not advertised due to confidentiality. She read a quote from the Naples newspaper
published on May 12 that read 200 claims statewide had been filed since the Bert Harris Act took effect
JUNE 1, 2004
31
and only a few have been brought to conclusion. Of those few the government and property owners
rd
have been winning equally. She read the definitions of roads, pointing out that 43 Avenue is
thth th
designated as a minor arterial road down to 12 Street and from 12Street to 8Street is defined as a
collector road, meaning high traffic volume, high operating speed and long trip lengths. She read
Policy 1.2 identifying delays in Capitol Improvements and Policy 5.9. She advised that the LOS is
very essential in the Comp Plan and if there is going to be any degradation, then a Comp Plan
Amendment is in order. In this incident there is a push in our Comp Plan to promote infield
development within the urban service area. There is going to be pressure to expand to the west if
infield development does not happen as expected in the Plan. She added that the Sheriff’s Office had
Ms.
signed off on this project. In response to Chairman Ginn’s comments regarding three lanes,
Brody
said three lanes means only a 5% increase and the County would be doing two revisions instead
of one, which is not cost effective.
Director Keating confirmed that the Sheriff has a representative on the MPO Technical
Advisory Committee and they are present at a number of meetings.
Administrator Baird responded to Mrs. Johnson’s comments that he has always
thth
responded positively to the five-lane widening project from 8 Street to 26Street, but responded
th
negatively to widening 8 Street to Oslo Road because it was not on the plans.
Jeff Thompson
said if the County improves the intersection to five lanes he could
move forward on his original 90,700 square foot building.
Chairman Ginn requested Engineer Mora toconfirm that Mr. Thompson’s statement
was correct. He responded that he would need to pay concurrency on the entire 76,800 square feet in
lieu of a 24,000 square foot building for Vero Millworks, Inc.
Commissioner Lowther mentioned the Board gave the industrial park business 0%
financing for 6 months and he wished to do the same for Vero Millworks.
(CLERKS NOTE: There was a motion on the floor and Commissioner Lowther said he
would make his motion later in the meeting.)

Administrator Baird repeated his request for direction and clarification on the
rd
improvements at the intersection at 43 Avenue and SR60 and the widening of the bridge.
Don Ryce
, 908 Cochina Lane, urged the Board to make a motion that is not as
ambiguous as the one before them.
Chairman Ginn said after this lengthy discussion she was unsure of what staff was
recommending and asked for a clarification of the motion on the floor.
rd
Commissioner Neuberger repeated his motion to approve five-laning 43 Avenue,
including improving the intersection at SR60 and widening the bridge.
Commissioner Lowther was disappointed there was not a three-lane design for
approval.
Director Davis restated that they looked at a three-lane section and they realized it will
not provide capacity that will meet concurrency.
Administrator Baird supported staff reiterating that they have looked at three lanes, and
determined they cannot reach concurrency. This is the reason this item was placed on the agenda.
Commissioner Adams said if they want to reach concurrency, which is in the Comp
Plan, then the Board does not have a choice.
Commissioner Lowther agreed.
CALLED THE QUESTION
The Chairman and the
motion carried by a 3-2 vote, Chairman Ginn and
Commissioner Lowther opposed. (The Board
thth
approved a five lane section from 8 Street to 26
rd
Street on 43 Avenue, major improvements to the
intersection at SR60 with dual left-turn lanes, two
thoroughfares in each direction and right turn lanes in
all directions, and approved widening the bridge north

of SR60 to accommodate the major intersection
improvements.)
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lowther,
SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board
unanimously approved assisting Vero Millworks, Inc.
by offering 0% financing for the cost of impact fees if
needed, per the guidelines of Resolution 2004-017
(County Administrator to execute agreements for
short-term financing for impact fees and water and
sewer capacity and connection charges with target
industries.)
Jeff Thompson
Discussion continued and said if they are going forward with the five
lanes he should be able to handle the impact fees.
Chairman Ginn added that the Board would consider anyone who applies for
assistance.
