Vice Chairman O'Bryan voiced his concerns regarding future right-of-way property
acquisitions and the costs involved, particularly when the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) becomes involved and State or Federal mandates apply.
He understood that nothing could be done about the relocation fees that the County
must pay for Mark's Mobil, Mermaid Carwash and the Harbora Parcels, but
expressed interest in having staff adopt a policy for future acquisitions.
Deputy County Attorney William DeBraal provided clarification, explaining that
there was a cap on relocation fees, which only applied if the entire property was
taken and the property owner relocates. He also noted that the County would save
on attorney fees and half the acquisition fees when the FDOT was involved.

dispensaries (Dispensaries) in the unincorporated areas of the County. He
explained that the City of Sebastian has indicated that it intends to allow
Dispensaries, and that the City of Vero Beach, although planning to prohibit
Dispensaries, has grandfathered in one previously approved location.
Commissioner Solari explained that he would like to have the Community
Development Department track the concerns brought to their attention. In
addition, he suggested that the Board revisit this one year from the date the
Dispensaries open to see if the plan is working in the best interest of the
citizens. Commissioner Adams and Chairman Flescher were in agreement.
Attorney Reingold explained that the County Attorney's office would also be
following this topic at the Legislative Sessions in Tallahassee and would return
to the Board with updates.
The Chairman opened the Public Hearing.
Walter Geiger, 7000 20th Street, Lot 900, supported the allowing of multiple

amendment to allow Mr. Poppell to move forward with the project. In
addition, the Board concluded that evaluating the entire process would be
beneficial in handling future requests.

Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2017
Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum
Proposed Resolution
Chairman Flescher thanked Deputy County Attorney William DeBraal for his
assistance in drafting a resolution which would encourage the Florida
Legislature to enact legislation making texting while driving a primary traffic
offense, as this would allow law enforcement to initiate a traffic stop for that
reason. He explained that Florida was among only five states that do not
enforce texting while driving as a primary offense, and lives are being lost.
A motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to
approve Resolution 2017-082, encouraging the Florida Legislature to enact
legislation that would make texting while driving a primary traffic offense. The
motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams,
Commissioner Solari, and Commissioner Zorc

14.D.1. 17-0879 Revision to County's Local Job Grant Program
Recommended Action: Discussion
Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum
Commissioner Solari suggested modifications be made to the Local Job Grant
Program award computation methodology, as it has been criticized as being too
complex. He acknowledged that he was disappointed that this item was tabled
at an Economic Development Council meeting on June 20, 2017. He would
like for staff to review the Local Job Grant Program, then report back at a future
meeting.
Economic Development Senior Planner Bill Schutt was present with a large
binder and multi -page spreadsheet to demonstrate the amount of time and
paperwork involved in processing one company's grant application.
Commissioner Adams and Vice Chairman O'Bryan were in agreement that a
less complex process was needed.
A motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to
direct staff to review the Local Job Grant Program, and return to a future meeting.

14.E.1. 17-0815 Zoning and Rezoning Requirements
Recommended Action: Discussion
Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum
Commissioner Zorc presented several concerns that were brought to his
attention regarding zoning and rezoning requirements, corridor plans, plan
development approvals and general requirements for commercial development.
He gave examples of how rules and regulations have prohibited development,
and suggested having the Development Review and Permit Process Committee
examine the general zoning and rezoning requirements for commercial
development.
Commissioner Solari supported the review of the general zoning and rezoning
requirements by the Development Review and Permit Process Committee. He
voiced concern that, due to the many additions over the years, the permit
process may not be fixable and may need to be rewritten.
Community Development Director Stan Boling conveyed that he felt the
discussion was warranted; however, he explained that zoning incompatibilities
can cause problems, and that easy parcels always get developed first.
