been rewritten with the correct legal description and
a Public Hearing was not necessary unless the City
Council wants to have one.

Hearing on the Ordinance again.

contiguous to the City and creates an enclave. He
said he had gone over it with Attorney Palmer and Jim
Gallagher and discovered the thirty feet was not to
have been included in the Ordinance.

access road into the sand pit and if the City Council
wishes to leave it in they may do so.

conducting business in the City without a permit.

Council be placed on the June 24, 1987, agenda.

from funds set aside for the million dollar loan be
encumbered for a new Police Station. He requested
that discussion of a "New Police Station" be placed
on thg_June 24, 1987, agenda.
Vice Mayor Roth requested that the City look to some
other city that has recently built a police station
for plans.
Vice Mayor Roth said he liked the Coconut Creek
Occupational License Ordinance. He requested that
Attorney Palmer be instructed to bring back information
as to why Police Officers cannot act as Code Enforce-
ment Officers. He also requested an update on the
C.R. 512 property and the County's plans for the

the County Property Appraiser will appraise the
property when it comes into the City and it is not up
to the City to second guess the applicant.
Councilman Metcalf said this organization has a
history of wanting the City to take very large
annexations with very little information.
Jim Gallagher, Executive Director for Sebastian
General Partnership, B.F.T., said for the record that
this was a one of the most difficult annexations he
had ever seen. He said he takes exception to remarks by
Councilman Metcalf regarding the organization he
referred to, assuming Councilman Metcalf meant the
company Mr. Gallagher works for, and said the company
follows the guidelines set by the City when applying
for an annexation. He said he hoped Councilman
Metcalf and Councilman Vallone understood that
Sebastian General Partnership, B.F.T.'s motives were
for the good of the city.

EFFECTIVE DATE. (1st Council agenda 2/3/88,
Advertised 3/3/88, public hearing 3/9/88)
Attorney Palmer read Resolution No. R-88-19 by title
only.
Mayor Harris opened the Public Hearing at 7:10 P.M.
Henry A. Fischer, Fischer & Sons, Inc., applicant for the
special use permit for sandmining, stated his reasons for
the request and urged Council to approve it. He
presented Council with a packet of information regarding
the request.
2
Randy Mosby, Mosby and Associates, engineer for the
sandmining project, introduced Jim Wheatley, a hydrologist
on the project to answer any questions Council had on the
environmental impact of the project.
Eric Pollard, Breezy Village, Inc., urged Council to deny
the request for a special use permit based on Fischer &
Sons, Inc. past performance at a sandmining operation
south of Breezy Village. He presented Council with
photographs of that project.
Bruce Cooper, Building Official, said Fischer & Sons had
gone within the fifty foot setback at Sand Lake south of
Breezy Village and since this project had begun before he
was in Sebastian his investigation was ongoing.
Henry Fischer said his trucks are monitored monthly by
D.O.T. He said that when this property was annexed the
city required him to remove the berm and he would require
a letter from adjacent property owners to do so.
Randy Mosby said he was not aware that the Sand Lake
project was in violation of St. John's Water Managment.
He said that that project had nothing to do with this
project being requested.
Bruce Bunnell, Breezy Village, said he was concerned
about the project engineer's remark regarding little
chance of saltwater intrusion. He said there should be
no chance. He requested that Fischer & Sons request be
denied based on past performance.
Fred Mensing urged Council to approve the request. He
said he found it difficult to hear that Henry Fischer is
not responsive to the needs of the people of Sebastian.
Henry Fischer said Fischer & Sons, Inc., has received no
complaints from the public regarding previous projects.
Richard Buchanan, resident in area of Sand Lake, said
Fischer's truck are overloaded.
Richard Votapka said the proposed County ordinance on
sandmining limits excavation to 25' elevation. He said
the City should cooperate with the County until they
reach a decision on the ordinance. He said the City
Manager and Council should look at revising the city
ordinance to prevent annexations for the purpose of
excavation.
3
Jim Wheatley, Garrett & Miller, said he has studied the
effects of mining on water levels. He said no impact on
groundwater was found. He said an increase in storage in
the aquifer would occur. He said with the wet mining
method that would be implemented no salt intrusion would
occur.
Randy Mosby said the County ordinance had no bearing on
the type of mine being requested.
When questioned by Councilman Metcalf, Mr. Wheatley said
he'd had no local experience on sandmining on the Atlantic
Ridge, but had had experience at Lost Tree Village on
General Development Corporation well work.
Ms. Lu, St. John's Water Management District, said the
project is still under review and that there were some
District concerns regarding the long term impact on
groundwater. She said the 25' elevation was determined
after studies in the Wabasso area showed long term
damage.
Jim Wheatley said this is no longer a consumptive use
request.
Ms. Lu said anyone having concerns regarding this project
could contact Dwight Jenkins, 213 Wilkins Road,
Melbourne, Florida 32935 at 305-894-5423.
Councilman Metcalf asked if it was possible to invite the
gentleman from St. John's Water Management to the March
23, 1988 meeting to discuss this further.
Randy Mosby said no expert can dispute Jim Wheatley'.s
testimony.
Arthur Lemire suggested the Council get a second opinion
regarding -effects on groundwater.
Sam Romano, resident of Breezy Village, said he had
called Henry Fischer concerning conditions of the road,
noise and sharp embankments and had no response. He said
Henry Fischer, Jr. then contacted him and said roads
would be paved mid-February.
Henry Fischer, Jr., said the road was currently under
construction.
Councilman Metcalf noted that Council had received a
letter from Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners who stated they would like to review all
requests for sandmining which will utilize County roads.

Randy Mosby said this requested project's design was
different than the design for Sand Lake.
Mayor Harris closed the Public Hearing at 8:20 P.M.
Councilman McCarthy said he had some concerns regarding
the water quality but that the mining operation industry
was needed for employment in the city.

Council to keep paving a city problem not a personal
problem.
Rebecca Snyder said this ordinance was unfair and would
rather see a tax increase than an individual assessment.
Pat Flood said a petition would be presented to Council
at the next meeting regarding a referendum for paving.

tax for overlay as other counties have done.

Mayor Votapka said this agenda item was a result of lack
of time for review for the September 7, 1988 workshop
meeting. Councilman Metcalf said this ordinance was a
team effort of the county sandmining ordinance, the
Mayor's amendments to it, and Attorney Nash's input which
are in line with 163 Florida Statutes.
MOTION by McCarthy
I move we adopt the Indian River County sandmining
ordinance as adeptedamo n",
MOTION died for lack of a second.
Discussion took place on the inclusion of fill in the
city ordinance that does not appear in the county
ordinance.

Attorney Nash said the ordinance as presented was a
result of the version of the county ordinance presented
by Councilman Metcalf with changes made in accordance
with the Mayor's comments and the other corresponding
sections contained in the Code of Ordinances relating to
this type of ordinance.
Discussion took place on page 10, Section 20A-5.30
(c)(4), Conditions of Mining Permit
Councilman McCarthy questioned the City Attorney that if
Council adopts this ordinance, elevation footage is
limited and a hardship is placed on the owner of a
current sandmine operation would the city be responsible
for reimbursement to him for monetary losses. The City
Attorney said he had no answer this evening but that it
was his understanding that there is no current permittee
existing under the current Sebastian sandmining ordinance,
since the permit recently granted to an entity that had
recently annexed land into the city that had never been
rezoned was still under the auspices of the county land
use regulations until such time as the property is
rezoned.
After discussion took place on page 10, Section 20A-5.30
(c)(4), Conditions of Mining Permit, advice from t.e
City Attorney was given regarding this matter, and
concurrence of the Building Official, it was amended as a
result of a unanimous consensus poll to read as Indian
River County Ordinance No. 88-21 reads in its section
(6)(c)(4).
Mayor Votapka instructed the Building Official and City
Attorney to look into language on small ponds which is
currently in the county sandmining ordinance but not
covered by the city ordinance. The City Attorney said he
felt that this item would come under Section 20A-5.22 (£)
The Building Official said he felt it would be advisable
to be more specific.
The Building Official said Type A screening verbiage
needs to be added.
After some discussion on the matter, the Building
Official was instructed to contact the County Official
responsible and inquire why the single family fill permit
provision and other provisions regarding fill permits
were taken out of the adopted County ordinance.
Mayor Votapka instructed Attorney Nash to check into the
difference in the city (page 8, item (e) one foot
vertical to four feet horizontal) and county
ordinances (one foot vertical to four foot horizontal)
N
regarding the slope of the littoral zone. He also said
that in the same section the square footage should read
fifteen feet instead of eighteen.
Jim Gallagher said Bob Keating was the County official
whom the Building Official should contact.
Mayor Harris instructed the Building Official to contact
Mr. Keating in writing and further discussion of
Ordinance No. 0-88-27 was scheduled for the October 5,
1988 workshop.

Draft - discussion 9/21/88 special meeting, 2nd Draft -
discussion 10/5/88 workshop)
During a brief discussion on the ordinance, the following
changes were made to the revised second draft: (1) Page
4, item (j), the words "filled" and "fill" were deleted;
(2) Page 6, item (i)(8) was deleted in entirety;
(3) Page 6, item (i)(4) "Pond depth" was changed
to "Average water depth in the pond"; Page 10, (4) the
word "seal" was changed to "sea"; Page 14 (a) the words
"application" were changed to "applicant".

Henry Fischer said for the record that the twelve foot
pond depth and twenty five foot mining elevation were
arbitrary figures. He said the depth below sea level
before salt water intrusion occurred during wet mining
would have to be 540 feet and that the Sand Ridge is not
the primary recharge area for the shallow aquifer.
First reading for Ordinance No. 0-88-27 as amended was
scheduled for October 26, 1988.
Councilman McCarthy questioned whether the city was
discriminating by being too stringent on the city's own
sandmining operations where hauling requirements are
concerned and not requiring the same for outside haulers.
The Assistant City Attorney responded that load weight
limits may be imposed by the city and enforced by the
Police Department and that certain State Statutes cover
hauling requirements. He suggested that the city wait
until it hires a City Engineer to set load limits.
8. MAYOR'S MATTERS
88.119 A. Presentation - Suggested Policy re: City
Volunteer Boards, Committees, and Commissions
Mayor Votapka requested that Council look over his memo
dated September 26, 1988 regarding recommended policies
on board appointments and schedule further discussion
for the November workshop.
Councilman Roth pointed out that Code Enforcement Board
policies were set out in FS Chapter 162.
The Assistant City Attorney suggested that item #20 in
the Mayor's memo have added to it "involving moral
turpitude" after the word "misdemeanor".
Mayor Votapka suggested that to item #3 be added "or city
ordinance" after the word "Statute", and the sentence
"The remaining members should reside in Indian River
County" be added after the sentence ending with the word
"residents."
Mayor Votapka added a number eight to page four as
follows: "Failure to file a financial disclosure form as
required."

ii a -Lf C?-
Vice Mayor Vallone suggested that following Jim
Davis' presentation, item "88.022 Ordinance No. 0-88-
27 - Sandmining" and item "88.156 Charter Revisions"
be addressed. Council concurred.
James Davis continued his presentation on the CR 512
Corridor plan, focusing on the how forty foot wide
commercial lots platted by GDC along the right of way
west of the FEC Railway will be treated, and stated
that Alternative D as presented in the plan was the
County's recommendation.
Mr. Davis briefly addressed the twin pairs concept
and stated that now that the county no longer needs
to protect the entire one hundred twenty foot right
of way in this area, adjacent property owners could
reclaim some of the land they deeded to the County.
He said this can be clarified once they have gotten a
commitment from Sebastian City Council regarding the
concept.
Discussion took place on holding a public hearing on
this matter before Council recommendation to the
County, although it was stated by Mr. Davis that the
County Commission has final authority for approval.
Attorney Nash advised that Council not refer to this
as a Public Hearing, but instead call it a special
meeting, for which there is no special advertisement
requirement.
MOTION by Vallone/Metcalf
I move we hold a special meeting for public input
on the recommended Thoroughfare Plan and CR 512
Corridor on December 5, 1988 at 7:00 p.m.

Community Development Transmittal dated 5/12/94)
Mayor Firtion opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m.
The Director of Community Development reiterated his
recommendation as submitted in the agenda packet (see
attached), reported the plat had been changed at the
request of staff members relative to utility matters,
however, that the applicant had resubmitted original
plans on May 16, 1994.
In response to the City Attorney, the Director of
Community Development listed deficiencies in the plat.
Attorney Warren Dill, representing applicant Henry
Fischer, noted that the plans were redesigned at the
request of the Utilities Director, and have now been
resubmitted in original form, less the cul-de-sac
and certain lots eliminated by the sandmine, to
expedite approval and to alleviate additional cost to
the applicant. He requested approval subject to
submittal of construction drawings prior to any
development.
The Director of Community Development inquired
whether City Council is willing to tentatively
approve without construction drawings.
City Council discussion followed on the provision in
the Land Development Code for submittal of
construction drawings prior to preliminary plat
approval. The City Attorney said there is enough
leniency in the Code to allow City Council to get
around the language until such time as the language
is amended.
Attorney Dill requested that approval be given with
two conditions: 1) that all technical requirements of
the Code are met and 2) subject to providing
necessary construction drawings prior to
construction and final plat approval.

Report. Location Map. application)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA,
GRANTING A SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND MINING PERMIT TO DR HENRY FISCHER
FOR A SAND MINE ON APPROXIMATELY 12.6 ACRES OF LAND; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL OF RESOLUTIONS OR PARTS OF
RESOLUTIONS; CONFLICTS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read Resolution No. R-97-08 by title.
Carolyn Corum, 881 Dolores Street, requested to be treated as an affected party.
The City Attorney explained that in accordance with Resolution No. R-96-87 affected
parties are the applicant, city staff and affected landowners entitled to notice under any
statute or City ordinance, said she had spoken with Ms. Corum and advised her she could
speak as an affected party only if the Council changed its resolution tonight to find that
anyone adjacent is an affected party.
Mr. Barnes asked if the applicant's attorney agreed, could Mrs. Corum be treated as an
affected property owner to allow her to ask questions. The City Attorney concurred.
Attorney Warren Dill said he did not agree with changing the resolution tonight, nor did
he think it could be done tonight and stated that he was prepared to proceed.
Mayor Cartwright disagreed with changing the resolution tonight and advised that Mrs.
Corum could sign up under informational testimony or as a proponent or opponent,
however, not as an affected landowner.
Mayor Cartwright opened the public hearing at 6:13 p.m and the applicant staff and all
those who intended to offer testimony were sworn in.

The Director of Community Development presented the staff report (see attached); noted
that the request for 20 feet of right-of-way should actually be 10 feet; stated that the lack
of a littoral zone as requested by the Land Development is an issue, however, the
applicant intends to meet all requirements of St. Johns River Water Management District.
In closing, he stated that staff recommends that the City Council find that the proposed
sand mine will not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or welfare nor will it be
injurious within the immediate vicinity in which the property is located and that the
proposed use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the industrial zoning district and
is similar in nature and compatible with uses allowed in the industrial zoning district. He
said it is further recommended that City Council approve the application for the Vicker's
Sand Mme Phase III with the following conditions: 1) Prior to commencement of
operations, the applicant shall provide a verified statement showing each and every
individual person having a legal and/or equitable ownership interest in the subject
property; 2) That the applicant dedicate 10 feet of right-of-way to the City for Concord
Avenue; and 3) Prior to the commencement of operations, the applicant shall install
permanent project boundary corners, with intermediate stakes at a minimum of three
hundred feet and all limits of excavation shall be staked, marked and maintained with
visible flags in the field, in accordance with approved plans for the permit.
Mayor Cartwright asked if compliance with St. Johns Water Management District
requirements was to be a condition and the Director of Community Development said he
would not object to that as an additional condition and that staff receive a report.
In response to Mr. Barnes, the Director of Community Development said there is an
emergency access onto Concord which will be provided in the Industrial Subdivision; that
the current sandmining allows mining from 7 am to 5 pm Monday through Saturday,
however, Saturday operation shall cease if Council determines the operation constitutes a
nuisance; explained St Johns rules relative to littoral zones. Mr. Barnes said he preferred
to use requirements of the Land Development Code relative to littoral zones. The
Director of Community Development went on to explain current and proposed lake
depths.
TAPE I - SIDE H (6:48 p.m.)
In response to Mayor Cartwright, the Director of Community Development listed prior
approvals for this site in 1988, 1990 and 1991.
Special City Council Meeting
February 19, 1997
Page Four
Attorney Warren Dill, representing applicant Henry A. Fischer, requested names of
individuals who had filed the five complaints with the City regarding the sandmine
operation.
Mr. Dill requested that the staff report and City records on this application be made a part
of the record (staff report attached) and gave a brief history of the operations on this site
approved by City Council three times since 1988.
Randy Mosby, Mosby and Associates, engineer for the applicant's project, gave his
experience and educational background and responded to questions from Mr. Dill. He
described the property as presented on a Project Phasing rendering dated January 1997
and Mr. Dill requested it be entered as applicant's Exhibit 7. There were no objections.
Mr. Dill then submitted a complete set of Exhibits 1 - 6 for the record. Mr. Mosby read
from City of Sebastian Resolution Nos. R-88-19, R-90-19, and R-95-07 and requested
they be entered as applicant's Exhibits 1, 2 and 3.
At 7:11 p.m. Mayor Cartwright advised Mr. Dill that he had two minutes to complete his
presentation and Mr. Dill requested an extension. It was the consensus of Council to
waive the time limit.
Mr. Mosby stated that St. Johns had recently extended the current mine permit for another
five years.
In response to Mr. Dill, Mr. Mosby read from applicant's Exhibit 4, Section 20A-3.14 of
the Land Development Code "IN, Industrial District" permitted uses and said, in his
opinion, a sandmine was compatible with those uses; read from applicant's Exhibit 5,
Section 20A-5.19 "Excavation and mining - purpose" and responded that all conditions
have been' -met except for the littoral zone, for which St. Johns has its own requirements.
He said the code reflects old methods on littoral zones and noted that Harbor Point and
Collier Creek were approved without littoral zones and St. Johns rules were followed.
Charles Cramer, employed by applicant Henry Fischer, addressed City Council on the
berm and fence system around the site; said there was no evidence of any crime on site
due to lack of a fence and that a City of Sebastian police officer was living on the site.
Mr. Cramer described the area of current mining to Mr. Halloran, saying that they are
gradually moving south away from the residential area.

In response to Mr. Barnes, Mr. Mosby said the time for completion of the proposed mine
will be based on consumer demand for the product.
TAPE H - SIDE I (7:35 p.m.)
Mr. Mosby continued his presentation.
Howard A. Geiger, 1026 Schumann Drive, Sebastian, expressed concern for a drop in the
water level of Schumann Lake in the last few days and asked what will happen to the lake
if the sandmine operation goes below the level of Schumann Lake.
Mr. Dill began to question Mr. Geiger, however, the City Attorney advised that Mr. Dill
that he may not cross-examine non -affected opponents in accordance with the City's
resolution and state statutes. Mr. Dill said if Mr. Geiger stated that he has no special
expertise in this area, he would let the matter drop.
Herbert Sturm, 549 Saunders Street, Sebastian, also expressed concern for the depletion
of Schumann Lake, reduction in taxes and inquired whether John Hill had been informed
of this matter. It was noted that Mr. Sturm was not qualified as an expert witness.
Howard Woodrum, Elder, Trinity Lutheran Church, 611 Schumann Drive, inquired how
close the project will be to the church and asked for the definition for emergency in the
use of the access to Concord. The Director of Community Development said the project
was 600 feet from the church.
Carolyn Corum, 881 Dolores, Sebastian, at the request of Mayor Cartwright, disclosed the
names of the five or more people she was representing as follows: Carolyn Corum, Larry
Corum, Corrine Van Busik, Bea Ahrend, Cindy, Michael and Kelsey Fitzpatrick. Mrs.
Corum objected to the sandmining expansion citing quality of life issues such as noise and
dust, the fact that it is not incidental to preparation for a subdivision; cited protection of
the aquifer; requested the limitation of stockpile height and better wetting methods. Mrs.
Corum requested and received an additional five minutes and requested a different hauling
route and limiting the time to Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Mayor Cartwright opened the informational testimony period at 8:15 p.m.
Mr. Taracka read a letter from Cindy Fitzpatrick into the record (see attached).
Special City Council Meeting
February 19, 1997
Page Five
Mr. Dill objected to the letter being made a part of the record, and Mayor Cartwright
explained that the letter is strictly informational and closed the information period.
TAPE H - SIDE II (8:22 p.m.)
The Director of Community Development said he had no information that the mine was
drawing water off Schumann Lake and said it was Council's decision whether or not to
require a more detailed littoral zone in accordance with the Land Development Code or to
yield to St. Johns' requirements.
In conclusion, he said it is star's recommendation to approve as stated in the initial staff
presentation.
In conclusion, Warren Dill called Charles Cramer, who explained the installation of the
north perimeter road was for revegetation purposes; and described the watering system to
keep dust down on stockpiles.
Mr. Dill said it was his belief that the five complaints made in the last ten years were
probably made by the Comms and Fitzpatricks; saic. the use is consistent with the
industrial district; agreed to the three recommended conditions, although, he stated, the
required donation of ten feet of right-of-way is illegal and the applicant was doing it as a
gratuity.
Mr. Taracka said he spent time at Dolores Street residences and witnessed the sand in the
homes and suggested cost effective methods which had been recommended to him by
experts in the field. He said he had witnessed sand blowing from the tops of stockpiles
toward those homes.
In response to Mayor Cartwright, Mr. Cramer said stockpiled sand goes through a wet
process, wet dredge stockpiles emit less sand than a typical citrus grove; and that if this
application is denied the current sandmining operation will continue.
The Director of Community Development said the code requires measures to control dust
for hardrock mining only; previous approvals did not require wet down; and noted the east
setback is measured from FEC right-of-way.
Special City Council Meeting
February 19, 1997
Page Seven
The Director of Community Development said that in reworking the code on sandmining
staff will be working toward duplicating St. Johns regulations to minimize conflicts; in
response to Mr. Barnes, said that the code allows hours Monday through Friday 7 am to
pm with a provision that Council can allow mining on Saturdays and Sundays or other
times at its discretion until it determines a nuisance exists. Mr. Barnes said he would like
to see the hours Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm as a condition. The Director of
Community Development said it would be very difficult for Code Enforcement to enforce
the time since the other area of sandmining is permitted on Saturday.
Mayor Cartwright called recess at 9:00 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 9:15 p.m. All
members were present.
Mr. Barnes asked that as a condition of approval, staff and the applicant be required to
work together to look into a better system of holding down blowing sand based on newer
technology.
Randy Mosby said the applicant would agree to the condition and asked for the names of
the experts to which Mr. Taracka referred.
Mr. Barnes and Mr. Taracka concurred to make it a condition that the applicant
voluntarily work with staff and if staff determines it is not feasible to use another method it
make that determination. Mr. Dill agreed to work with staff but objected to it as a
condition of approval.
Mr. Cramer, in response to Mrs. Damp, said the highest stockpile is 25 to 30 feet and that
sand could probably not blow 1/2 mile from that site.
TAPE III - SIDE I (9:25 p.m.) --
Mayor Cartwright, for the record, said she agreed with staffs interpretation of the setback
line being from FEC right-of-way. There was no objection from Council.
Mr. Taracka said he had checked with people to the east in mobile homes and they had the
same dust.
Mayor Cartwright closed the quasi-judicial hearing at 9:27 p.m.

The City Attorney read Resolution No. R-97-10 by title and Mayor Cartwright opened the
quasi-judicial hearing at 9:32 p.m. Those who intended to offer testimony had been
sworn previously.
The Director of Community Development presented staff report (see attached); noted the
20 foot right-of-way donation should be 10 feet; said the access to Concord is intended
for emergency use only and recommended approval.
In response to Council inquiry, he said that if the City does not wish to maintain the lake
in the future, it should not be accepted; said that Planning and Zoning found the cul-de-sac
length acceptable as long as the emergency access existed.
Warren Dill said the cul-de-sac was created by the City's refusal to allow regular use of
the Concord access.
In closing, the Director of Community Development recommended approval subject to
the donation of ten feet of right-of-way.
Mayor Cartwright closed the quasi-judicial hearing at 9:50 p.m.
The Director of Community Development noted the word "industrial" needed to be added
to the title of the resolution.
MOTION by Halloran/Damp
I move to approve Resolution R-97-10 with the inclusion of"INDUSTRIAL" in
