she remade the motion at this time, which was seconded by Marge Poole.

will make.recommendation to the City Council that Gene Harr~s's letter be
approved as read", Marge Poole seconded the motion, which was approved.

under old business. Bob Fullerton made the motion that the two public notices
for the public hearing of Magazine Property be paid, motion seconded by Jewell
Thompson, approved. Harold Eisenbarth questioned the bill on Father and Son
project, the $350.00 there should be paid by the Building Department who
asked for the conference, the Planning and Zoning Board had already approved
the plans after their paid review of the plans by Mosby/Robbins Engineering.

of items 1, 3, and 6. Stan Krulikowski seconded the motion, passed.
Harold Eisenbarth read a letter he had drafted to the Finance Department
Director, Carol Carswell, requesting a much more detailed financial repOrt
than was received. Edra Young stated that such a report should be sent at
least quarterly. Marge Poole said she would like to see the answer to the
letter addressed to Attorney Tom Palmer concerning the authorization of
payment put in writing. Board agreed. Stan KrulikowSki made the motion
that Harold Eisenbarth's letter be sent to Director Carswell, Bill Mahoney
seconded the motion, passed unanimously. The board felt that it still did
not answer the question as to why a check for $1380.00 was sent to Mosby/
Robbins for work not authorized, but since the Building Department had re-
imbursed the fund, no other recourse needed.

Churchman's Condo project was reviewed again under unfinished business,
with ~ngineer Earl Masteller and Attorney Rene VanDeVoorde presenting
some additional information - client decided to eliminate the clinic,
add the five acres to the residential use, haveing 700 units for the
140 acres residential. There was a review of the letter from Mosby/Robbins
Engineering, the board was asked by Mr. Masteller to express whether it
was of a consensus opinion with the Mosby/Robbins review. Harold Eisenbarth
questioned whether it was not premature to schedule a hearing date without
everything being ironed out, Mr. Masteller said it was just a zoning re-
quest, Mr. Eisenbarth replied that request was married to the concept plan,
though. Mr. VanDeVoorde said his client would be willing to pay additional
expense of readvertizing if needed. After additional discussion, the motion
was made by Jewell Thompson that the public hearing be as is presently scheduled
with the understanding the board would vote when they feel comfortable with
the information, Edra Young seconded the motion, Stan Krulikowski made the
one dissenting vote. Mr. Masteller thanked the board, commending their vote.
He further elaborated on the plan. Jewell Thompson~.~. made the motion to send'~
letter to the Police, Fire Department, and Ambulance Squads for their opinion
of the impact of a 700 unit PUD., Edra Young seconded the motion. A letter
along with back-up material will be sent to all three.
Jim Wadsworth presented the board with a concept plan for a project to be
built along CR#512 on the outskirts of Fellsmere, it would bring more dollars
to the area, and would not substantially impact the traffic flow in Sebastian.
Harold Eisenbarth said he saw no problem with the concept plan, it was out-
side of this board's jurisdiction. Jewell Thompson made the motion that
the board send a letter to council that the board sees no adverse impact on
the City of Sebastian by this project so the board has no objection to the
concept as presented, Edra Young seconded the motion, carried.
Board was presented a letter from New Horizons Mobile-Home Park concerning
annexation into the City of Sebastian. Bob Fullerton. said he could see no
reason why the city would want to annex this property, he felt sorry for the
new owners, but he could see no changes for the better when he inspected it
recently. Edra Young made the motion that the board postpone any decision on
this matter until the next meeting, Marge Pools seconded the motion, carried.
Dr. Henry Fischer, a member of the audience commented that the board should
check with the police department, the truant officers for the county and the
health department concerning this piece of property. "To inherit that would
be a disaster."
Harold Eisenbarth suggested that DER be invited down to the city to go on
a tour with a member to see what is happening along our river frontage.
BOb Fullerton made the motion that a letter be sent to Barbara Bess of
DER requesting her to make such a tour With the object of clarification of
