home was not one of the homes listed. Chairman O'Bryan suggested that staff

Commissioner Zorc presented an update on Millstone Landing. He clarified
details pertaining to the Indian River County Public Construction Bond, and
relayed that D.R. Horton had suspended payments to SLV Millstone, L.L.C.
(Starwood) until the 17th Street SW road work was complete, due to the fact
that Starwood was in breach of their contract. Commissioner Zorc confirmed
that there were 32 homes either cleared or soon-to-be cleared for the
Certificates of Occupancy (CO) to be released.
A motion was made by Commissioner Zorc, seconded by Commissioner
Flescher, to allow for the release of Certificates of Occupancy while the
17th Street SW roadwork was being completed.
Commissioner Flescher stated that he would like to add a completion date to the
motion, which would specify that any home ready for the CO release prior to a
certain date, such as March 1, 2018, would be approved.
Public Works Director Rich Spzyrka explained that significant progress had
been made over the past week, and he suggested that CO's should be released
through March 6, 2018, the date of the next Board of County Commissioners
meeting, where he would report back to the Board at that time regarding
Starwood's progress. Commissioner Zorc was open to continue the discussion
to provide for a date to be added to his motion, and he mentioned March 13,
2018 as an option.

in Millstone Landing, adding that the builders would be required to notify
potential buyers of the possibility of delays in releasing CO's if the 23rd Street
SW entrance is not complete by July 1, 2018.

as he confirmed that there had not been any work done on the 23rd Street SW
entrance. He recommended that no Building Permits be issued until the
