12:50 1. Community Residential Homes (Group Homes)
p.m. (memorandum dated March 9, 2016) 289-294
---------------------------
Commissioner Zorc relayed that residents of Glendale
Lakes are concerned about a planned Community
Residential Home (Group Home) that is moving into
their subdivision. He stated that more of these types
of facilities are being operated locally, and that since
licensing is handled by the State, the local government
does not participate in the screening process. He
reported that the County has been unable to secure a
complete list of Group Homes in the community, and
that one Group Home (not mentioned on the list he
obtained), had an excessive amount of 9-1-1 calls that
were unrelated to fire and ambulance services.
Commissioner Zorc suggested that Representative
Debbie Mayfield be contacted for assistance in
procuring more information from the State.
Board of County Commission Meeting Page 13
March 15,2016
Community Development Director Stan Boling stated
that he had tried unsuccessfully to obtain a list of local
Group Homes from the State of Florida's Agency for
Persons with Disabilities (APD). He pointed out that
although the State is responsible for licensing, the
small Group Homes must still comply with the County
Building Code.
Scott McAdam, Building Official, discussed the
County's basic requirements for Group Homes.
Tim Askew, homeowner at Glendale Lakes, voiced
concerns about the prospective Group Home that is
being planned for his neighborhood, and stated that
the owner must have business insurance.
The Board CONSENSUS was to direct staff to: (1)
request that Representative Debbie Mayfield help the
County obtain a current list of all Community
Residential Homes in the County; (2) review the list to
check for compliance with the Building Code; and (3)
ensure that the County receives notifications of new
Group Homes.
Commissioner Zorc stated that he would keep the
residents of Glendale Lakes informed on the status of
the Group Home that is coming to their community.
1:12 2. County Owned Surplus Property
p.m. (memorandum dated March 8,_2016)______________________________________295
---------------------------
Commissioner Zorc initiated a discussion on five (5)
properties that are owned by the County and may no
longer be needed. He described the locations of the
parcels, and requested that staff determine whether
the properties should be designated as surplus and
sold, or whether any should be retained.
Discussion ensued among the Board and staff
regarding the locations of the properties; the
possibility that the City of Vero Beach or the Town of
Indian River Shores may have an interest in a
property; and how any proceeds from sales should be
spent.
Board of County Commission Meeting Page 14
March 15,2016
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board CONSENSUS was for staff to conduct an
assessment and report back to the Board within 30
days on the three (3) parcels (parking lots fronting the
Heaven Sent Thrift Shoppe and the radio station) that
the County owns on 17`h Street near Old Dixie
Highway and the railroad tracks; the parking lot
parcel adjacent to Seacoast Bank on Ocean Drive; and
the triangle-shaped parcel (and possible proximate
property) north of CVS Pharmacy and Tracking
Station Beach Park in Indian River Shores.
Vice Chairman Flescher asked staff to consider
whether the County might have a potential use for
any of the subject properties, such as using them to
stage equipment.
