inimical to the quality of life which presently exists in
this county to give wholesale exemptions to any of the
County's land development regulations; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 251 and companion House Bill 478
would exempt school board siting from local land development
regulations; and
WHEREAS, school siting has a tremendous impact on the
land uses in its vicinity, because of the large number of

large acreage necessary for the school,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that
the Board strongly opposes Senate Bill 251 and companion
House Bill 478 and respectfully urges the Governor and the
