the recent election ballots, there will be modification of the agenda so that this meeting
can move forward. Some of the other items on the agenda will be addressed before the
Local Planning Agency (LPA) public hearings. The Chairman stated if the

Mr. Roth called on anyone from the public who wished to speak on anything that is not
on this evening's agenda. There being no one in chambers or on Zoom who wished to
speak, Mr. Roth moved to the next item on the agenda.
X. New Business -- None
XI. Commissioners Matters
Mr. Christine stated he understood that staff attended a Metropolitan Planning
Association meeting and asked if staff had any comments on it. Ms. Frazier stated she
had presented a Power Point presentation. Vero Beach and Sebastian were asked to
do a presentation on some of the things that those cities have been working on. She
covered the items that she talked about at that meeting. Mr. Christino said he is very
interested in those programs and asked If the meeting was open to the public. Ms.
Frazier thought that there was some citizen representation present. Mr. Christino asked
if there is a way to notify the commissioners prior to meetings such as this in the future.
Mr. Christino also inquired about the status of the Squid Lips project. Ms. Bosworth
stated the staff is comfortable with their plans for their buildings, and they submitted at
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 3
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
their own risk the building permits. The project was approved at the July 15" meeting,
and since then they have gone through the process of getting the structural parts of
their building permits reviewed. As of this week the permit for the over -the -water
restaurant has been issued, and there will probably be some activity down there soon.
Mr. Roth asked regarding the meeting that Mr. Christino talked about, if that is
something staff might want to make available to the citizens of Sebastian. Ms. Frazier
said that she would suggest waiting until we see what the County does with this
information. Mr. Roth added that the attendance tonight brings back up to the surface
the work that everyone put together on the Comprehensive Plan. He had submitted a
draft of something to go to the media on it, and he does not know what became of that.
It gave credit to all those in the City who worked on it. He asked if it would be
appropriate to bring that back up, because this is bringing new light to that situation.
Ms. Frazier agreed and replied that she had passed it up the chain. She would be
happy to ask again if we would like to do an article about it.
Mr. Roth reviewed that in the past the City gave an award that was given to a business
that had had a very nice architectural design on their new building. That award was
given several times, recognizing those businesses for being aware of the concept that
Sebastian has been following, i.e. the fishing village theme. That project just fell silent
for some reason, and there have been a couple of very nice projects completed. He
made a motion suggesting that we bring that back and have the Commissioners as well
as members of the staff submit buildings that are in the City that meet those criteria so
that they could receive some sort of recognition such as a plaque. He also suggested
having the City Council weigh in on that as well. Ms. Frazier suggested that this matter
be put on next month's agenda as a recommendation to City Council to bring this
program back. Mr. Roth then withdrew his motion and agreed that it should be put on
next month's agenda as a recommendation to City Council. It was the general
consensus of the commissioners that this matter be brought up on next month's
agenda.
Mr. Hughan asked Ms. Frazier if the Power Point presentation will be available
somewhere so that the public can look at it. She said she would post it. Mr. Roth
stated he would like to see it also.
Mr. Qizilbash asked regarding the last meeting where there were two large sub-
divisions from Dr. Brooks that were addressed. He opined that that matter should be in
the hands of Code Enforcement because the appearance of the property as it now
exists presents a bad visual. Ms. Bosworth stated that matter has already been brought
before the Special Magistrate in 2019. There was a formal order, and they are accruing
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 4
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
$100.00 a day until the sub -division is finished. It is an open Code Enforcement case
until it is abated, which is going to be the recording of the final plat.
(MR. ROTH THEN RECOGNIZED THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY HAD APPEARED AT
THE MEETING.)
XII. Citv Attomev Matters — None
XIII. Staff Matters
Ms. Bosworth stated about a week after the quasi-judicial hearing on the special use for
the Caliber Car Wash, the applicant withdrew their application. So it is not proceeding
to City Council, and they will look for another location.
Mr. Roth announced that that finishes Items VIII through XIII, and the meeting will
resume with item VI.
VI. Local Planning Acencv f -PA1 Public Hearing
A. LPA Legislative Public Hearing -- Recommendation to City Council —
City of Sebastian Comprehensive Plan 2040 — New Element: Private Property
Rights — Element 10
Mr. Anon read the item into the record, and Mr. Roth called on staff to make their
presentation. Ms. Frazier stated that the State Legislature passed in June 2021 that all
local governments are required to add a new element called the "Private Property
Rights Element." Staff has added Element 10, and staff could not proceed with
adoption of any changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan such as the future land use
map that is before the Commissioners this evening, until this element is also adopted.
This element will be sent along with whatever future land use maps the commissioners
and City Council want to transmit to DEC. She reviewed what is contained in Florida
Statute 163.3177(6)(1). She then called for questionstcomments from the
commissioners.
Mr. Qizilbash — asked why in the statute is says "optional' in the heading. Ms. Frazier
explained that this means we can use these words or use something else. Most of the
municipalities are using this language.
Mr. Roth — asked if what the Commission will be forwarding on to City Council is
Exhibit A that is attached to the Private Property Rights Element. Ms. Frazier said yes.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 5
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
Mr. Roth then called for anyone from the public who wished to speak on this matter.
Seeing no one in chambers and hearing no one on Zoom who wished to speak, Mr.
Roth closed public input on this item and called for any deliberations from the
Commissioners. There being none, Mr. Roth called for a motion.
A motion recommending to City Council that they adopt the Private Property Rights
Element, Exhibit A., into the City's Comprehensive Plan was made by Ms. Kautenburg
and seconded by Mr. Qizilbash.

General Land Use to City (MU) — Mixed Use
Mr. Anon read the item into the record, and Mr. Roth called on staff to make their
presentation.
Ms. Frazier placed a map onto the screen and pointed out where these parcels are
located. She reviewed what is proposed for these parcels is a mixture of attainable and
multi -family apartments as well as some commercial parcels on US 1. She also
explained what mixed use is comprised of. Staff feels that this plan meets the
consistency criteria of the Comprehensive Plan. She then called for
questions/comments on this matter.
Mr. Qizilbash — asked if the parcel which is already in the City is the only one
pertaining to mixed use. Ms. Frazier explained all the 29.5 acres are going to change to
mixed use — the parcels in the City and the parcel in the County are going to change to
mixed use.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 6
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
Mr. Christino — asked if there is any intention for that property other than residential.
Ms. Frazier stated the applicant has shared with staff that their intent is to have some
attainable apartments in an apartment complex and then have outparcels of
commercial. Staff then recommended that they request a mixed -use designation. The
applicant will come in later to change their zoning to whatever is appropriate.
Mr. Roth — asked if each part of the parcel will require a site plan that is something
similar to that in order to move forward. Ms. Frazier stated that is correct.
Mr. Simmons — inquired if the plan is to provide 12 units per acre for the apartments.
Ms. Frazier stated that is the applicant's desire, and in the mixed use they are allowed,
with incentives, go up to 12 units per acre. Whether they end up being able to get 12
units per acre all depends on their site plan.
There being no further questions/oomments from the commissioners, Mr. Roth called for
public input. There being no one in chambers who wished to speak and no one on
Zoom who wished to speak, Mr. Roth asked if there was any further deliberation by the
commissioners on this matter. There being none, Mr. Roth called for a motion.

Density Residential Land Use to City (CON) -- Conservation Land Use
Mr. Roth stated that a request has been made to have this item tabled, along with Item
VII-A, and called on staff to provide the background on this item. Ms. Frazier explained
that these two items are being requested to be tabled until the December 2ntl, 2021
meeting. Unfortunately, the newspaper did not publish this particular public hearing
notification for the Marine Resources Council properties. Thus, this item cannot be
addressed at this meeting, and it will have to be tabled until the December 2n°, 2021
meeting after the newspaper ad has been property placed. That is the only reason for
the request. Mr. Roth called for a motion on this item.
A motion that Item VI-C be tabled until the December 2nd meeting due to the lack of
appropriate publication was made by Ms. Kautenburg and seconded by Mr. Hughan.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 8
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
As part of his request, he is requesting changing the future land use from County
Commercial/Industrial to City Industrial land use. His plan is to basically maintain the
use as it is today, which supports the mining activity and the industrial activity in that
area. There are no plans at this time, but staff feels that it is compatible and consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. If it is consumed as part of a larger residential area, this
particular use could still be for outside storage or parking or civic uses, etc. She called
for questions/comments from the commissioners.
Mr. Roth — questioned if this property is bounded by any street or road. Ms. Frazier
stated this property%s access is through the Vickers Grove Mine property, and it has
been verified that any type of use on it would have to show access to the Industrial Park
Boulevard road or be a part of a larger development, which it is today.
Mr. Qizilbash -- asked if presently this property is land -locked. Ms. Frazier stated it is,
and the Vickers Grove is part of the City. It is a shared use for the Vickers Grove Mine,
and it will continue to be so.
Mr. Christino — asked if there is an easement that has to be abandoned. Ms. Frazier
said there is an easement around the property, and the applicant's attorney is here if
you want to get more information regarding that. It is not a right-of-way easement. It is
not a utility easement. It is just an easement around two sides of the property, and
Attorney Warren Dill has submitted a letter explaining this, which is included in this
evening's agenda packet.
There being no further questions/comments from the Commissioners, Mr. Roth called
for public input on this project.
Mr. Warren Dill, Sebastian — Mr. Dill identified himself as the attorney for Dr. Fischer.
Regarding the easement issue, in preparing this application he did a title search and
discovered that there was a question about two 12-foot strips of land, one on the north
which is contiguous with Dr. Fischer s property where the sand mine is. The other one
is on the western side. It says that they are two 12-foot strips of land reserved for future
roads. He has filed an application with the County for the County to vacate any interest
that they might have in those two strips. They have already assured him that they do
not have any interest in them. They will be in the near future moving to vacate those
strips to the extent they have any interest in them. All the utilities have indicated they
have no objection. Mr. Dill feels confident that the County commissioners will move to
vacate any interest they have. That should be done within the next 30 days. He added
that the City staff has reviewed this, and their opinion is that it is compliant with the
Comprehensive Plan, and they recommend that you recommend to City Council that
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 9
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
they approve this land use change. There being no one else from the chambers and
no one on Zoom who wished to speak, Mr. Roth closed public input on this agenda
item. There being no further deliberations by the commissioners, Mr. Roth called for a
motion on this item.

Mr. Anon read the item into the record, and Mr. Roth called on staff to make their
presentation.
Ms. Frazier pointed out on the map the parcel that is the subject of this application. The
applicant has requested that the property be changed from the County
Commercial/Industrial to the City (GC) General Commercial Land Use. Staff believes
that this is in compliance with the long-range plans of the City. It is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan, and recommends approval.
Mr. Roth called for public input from anyone in chambers or on Zoom who would like to
speak on this item.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 10
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
Mr. Warren Dill — Mr. Dill identified himself and stated he represents Dr. Fischer on
this application. There is a very thorough and professional staff report that has been
submitted. The property is on US 1. It is currently in the County with a
Commercial/Industrial classification. Dr. Fischer is proposing to bring it into the City
with a General Commercial (GC) classification, which would restrict a number of the
uses that can be put on the property presently under the County zoning. There are no
immediate plans to develop the property. He asked for questions from the
Commissioners.
Mr. Christino — stated that Dr. Fischer already has a trade center north of Schumann
Drive and asked if this would be something similar. Mr. Dill stated he does not know
right now.
There being no further public input, Mr. Roth closed public input on this item and asked
if the Commissioners have any further deliberation/questions on this item. Hearing
none, Mr. Roth called for a Motion.

Addition -- Henry A. Fischer, Applicant -- Section 31, Township 39 South,

for a change from County R — Rural to City (VLD) Very Low Density Land use.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 11
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
Mr. Anon read the item into the record, and Mr. Roth called on staff to make their
presentation.
Ms. Frazier stated this is the Cross Creek Estates addition in the southern part of the
City. It is surrounded on three sides by City property. There is a request by Dr. Fischer
for an annexation of this property. The request includes changing the classification from
County — R (Rural) designation to the very low -density residential designation, which is
compatible with the adjacent Cross Creek Lake Estates development. The applicant
does not have a proposed site plan for the subject property at this time. However, he
has represented that this property, as well as the 20 acres adjacent to the east, are
proposed to become part of the existing platted development. This will become an
extension of the Cross Creek Lake Estates development. The land use element states
that the VLD-R shall be comprised of primarily single-family, detached homes on
individual lots. Staff believes that this is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
supports a recommendation of approval to City Council.
Mr. Roth called for public input from anyone in chambers or on Zoom who would like to
speak on this item.
Mr. Warren Dill identified himself and stated that he represents Dr. Fischer with this
land use plan change. He requested that after other members of the public speak, he
be allowed to come back up and speak to any of the items brought up by other
members of the public. He reminded everyone that the purpose of this item tonight is to
address the land use plan. There are no development plans coming before the
commissioners tonight. In the future there will be a public hearing when the sub -division
plat comes before the commissioners, and the public will have another opportunity to
have input. This property is currently in the County and currently has a classification of
Rural, which is one unit per acre. The County is presently planning to change this in the
future to a designation of three units per acre. This property is surrounded on three
sides by the City. This will be the final and last phase of the Cross Creek Estates
development. There is already preliminary plat approval for the parcel next to this one
which is approximately 25 acres. However, Dr. Fischer was able to acquire this
property after he had preliminary plat approval on the other property. Dr. Fischer is
wanting to put in a second main entrance. There are two emergency access points
presently and one main entrance.
There will be a second main entrance with gates on the west side of this property. Dr.
Fischer is working with the City to get a site plan approved for additional boat parking,
which will allow for many more spaces. The staff has reviewed this project carefully and
concluded that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 12
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
Mr. Christino stated that he looked at this, and it looks like there is a way out for the
second exit now that is much easier than the one that was discussed going onto
Shakespeare. Mr. Dill stated that will be completely closed once this property is
developed.
Dr. Jeff Carrier, Sebastian, stated that he has some concerns about this development.
He lives on Lanfair, adjacent to the proposed development. He appreciates staff for
looking at the low -density impact that this development will have with a maximum of
three dwelling units per acre, and the proposed development coming in at three or
perhaps two units. He referred to page 160 of tonight's attachment. There is some
reference to annexing an additional 20 acres to this 19.58 acres that is proposed in this
item. That will come at another time, perhaps, if the developers wish to do that. Taken
together, this additional 40 acres provides an impact that might not be immediately
apparent in the review of this tonight. Ingress and egress from this area is a concern
because the adjacent property owners because, unless Dr. Fischer acquires land a little
bit to the south where they can actually get ingress and egress to CR 510, this might be
a potential issue. If that is the case, it has the potential to direct traffic into a very small,
developed area where the streets are very short and curved. He has a concern that, as
this particular development is undertaken, eventually construction vehicles will be used.
This is not a neighborhood that was designed for that type of flow through.
Furthermore, within the document there is an indication that there might be an extension
of Shakespeare all the way to intersect with CR 510. Shakespeare is a one-way street
that is a single lane, and the infrastructure is such and the easements are such that it is
unlikely that that road could be expanded. If the development goes to its full 40 acres
and if these roads are constructed, he has other concerns that biologists would have.
He stated he is actually on the Natural Resources Board, and that Board is looking at
the low -impact development and development that is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan that says we will take into consideration environmental concerns.
There is a small amount of wetland in this area and some native vegetation in this area
that is very sensitive. He suggested that his comments are more preemptive than
anything else. He stated his group will be back here when this plat plan is finally
developed and when these projects are brought forward to City Council. They at least
wanted to raise these issues if in fact you are going to approve this. His group applauds
the low density. They also have concerns about ingress and egress because, by
approving this, traffic patterns and engineering studies will have to be done, and there
are going to be considerable concerns in the future. He states that if the Commission's
attention is drawn to those now and you are kept aware of these as development
proceeds in this particular area, his group would like to have the Commissioners keep
those in mind. His group will follow this as it progresses.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 13
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
Michael Roth, Sebastian, lives on Memorial, and Memorial is adjacent to
Shakespeare, which is adjacent to the old fish fans which is the property that is being
discussed. He stated that several years ago when this development started, they
wanted to cut roads to his neighborhood. At that time, the City turned Dr. Fischer down.
He was told by Dr. Fischer's son that this wasn't the last of it...he was going to get his
roads through. He hopes that is not the case now. He lives in a very quiet
neighborhood. Shakespeare is one way. That was not a problem because there were
not that many people living back there. He stated his neighbors and he understand
there is going to be development, and they know they are not going to stop that. The
neighbors would like to see the development have a low -density classification and the
ingress and egress stick to Powedine Road and stay off all the little side streets. He
added that, if this is going to be a gated community, that is going to be an entrance to
the community. Those people are going to be able to go through and then exit the
community to Powedine Road, but the neighbors will not be able to go through there.
Ms. Frazier explained that the right-of-way that would be given would be for public
access. The right-of-way that is being proposed would be a public right-of-way, so the
neighbors would have access. Mr. Roth stated that the residents of the community
were promised many things when the original development was done. That did not
happen to be the case. Chairman Roth said this project does need to come back here
for a final site plan approval, and those things will be considered. The commissioners
are well aware of Shakespeare and the problem on that.
Amy Speak, Sebastian, resides at 441 Memodal. She and other neighbors want the
low density, but they have significant additional concerns. She feels that if there is a
gate installed to access the neighborhood, which is going to have a huge impact on the
neighborhood. They need to figure out a way to purchase more property or get access
to go another way. There are potentially 70 houses that may be built. That means
much more traffic up and down two small roads potentially every day. Presently, they
do not get that many in a month other than the people who live back there. She really
wants the commissioners to think about the future Impact that it would have on those
who have lived back there for many years. She stated there are several species of
wildlife, and she is concerned regarding the impact that this development will have on
them. She is not saying don't do the neighborhood; she is just saying do the
neighborhood right where it is not causing a disruption to the neighbors' peace.
Mr. Warren Dill, attorney for the applicant, stated that he understands the concerns that
the residents have. His applicant has in the past done his best to accommodate the
neighbors. It is a physical Impossibility for the applicant to access Powerine Road. He
cannot go through Cross Creek and put another entrance in, as there are homes all
along there. This is the only means of ingress and egress to this property. There will
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION/LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY PAGE 14
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 2021
be as low a density as possible. The comments of the residents are good comments,
but they are not relevant to the land use application. Mr. Roth closed the public Input
and called on the commissioners for any further comments/questions.
Mr. Christino -- stated that when the Commission originally approved the plats the exit
off of Shakespeare basically was for an emergency. The City codes require that these
be 400 feet apart. Ms. Frazier said that is correct. Mr. Christino stated he did not think
that the emergency entrance was sufficient for an emergency vehicle to make the tum.
He stated that there should be an alternative to that entrance in case of a hurricane, fire,
etc. Ms. Frazier pointed out this 19.58 acres is coming in as an annexation as part of

Mr. Anon read the item into the record.
Mr. Roth asked if any of the Commissioners have had any ex parts communications on
this item. Mr. Alvarez stated he will excuse himself from this item, as he has had some
ex parte communication as well as having some financial connection to this project. Ms.
Bosworth stated there is a special form that he will need to sign, on which he will need
to disclose his connection with this project. (AT THIS TIME MR. ALVAREZ LEFT THE

testimony on this matter were sworn in. Mr. Roth called on the applicant to speak on
this matter.
Mr. Warren Dill, attorney for the applicant, stated the commissioners have been
presented a very thorough staff report. The use as was mentioned before is going from
County IL to City IN, which is an industrial classification that is consistent with all the
property surrounding it, including Dr. Fischer s property contiguous on the north side.
He asked for questions or comments. There were none.
Mr. Roth called on staff to make their presentation. Ms. Frazier reviewed that this is a
straightforward request. Should it be annexed into the City, the applicant is requesting
a change from County Light Industrial to City Industrial. This is consistent with the
current uses of the property. According to the Industrial district zoning requirements,
the designation is to provide limited industrial development permitting uses such as
utilities, commercial retail, storage facilities, restaurants, trades and skilled services,
parking lots, clubs, and medical services. Standards are in place to reduce impacts on
adjacent residential districts such as screening and buffering requirements should that
come about. The sites surrounding this are currently operating as industrial. Staff is
recommending this change and feels that it is consistent with the Land Development
Code and supports a recommendation for approval to City Council from the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Rath called for questions/oommenls from the Commission members.
Mr. Christino — asked if there will be any screening requirements for this parcel. Ms.
Frazier stated that at this point there would not be because it is going to continue its
current use, which is industrial. Mr. Christino commented that in the future this could
potentially be an access to a residential area. There will need to be screening at that
point. Ms. Frazier pointed out that the performance standards for industrial adjacent to
a residential development would come into play.
There being nothing further from the commissioners, Mr. Roth called for public input
from anyone in chambers or on Zoom. There being none, Mr. Roth closed the public
input. He stated that the applicant now has an opportunity to respond to any issues
raised by the public or by staff. Mr. Dill stated he had no comments. There being no
further deliberation from the commissioners, Mr. Roth called for a motion.

Mr. Roth called on staff to present their findings. Ms. Frazier stated the 6.17 acres are
located along US Highway 1. The current zoning is in the County for Commercial
Limited, and they are requesting a change to Commercial General within the City should
this property be annexed into the City. CG is to accommodate general retail sales and
services, highway -oriented sales and services, and other general commercial activity.
This designation is generally located in highly accessible areas adjacent to major
arterials, and this designation is consistent with the long-range plans of the City. Staff
recommends approval for this request and finds it consistent with the Land
Development Code of the City.
Mr. Roth called for questions/comments from the commissioners to the applicant and

around the property, including within Cross Creek and including next door in the
Highlands. The applicant will do his best to reduce the impacts of this project. He
thanked everyone this evening for their time and patience.
Mr. Roth called for staff to present their findings and analysis on this item. Ms. Frazier
stated that the rezoning request before the commissioners this evening is from County
A-1 to City RS-10, Residential Single Family which is compatible with the existing
adjacent Cross Creek Lake Estates development. All of the zoning surrounding this
property except to the south is RS-10. A potential right-of-way alignment to CR-510 is
being proposed. This road right-of-way will be a public road right-of-way. It is essential
to provide access to CR-510 and provide alternative safety routes to residents within the
Highland neighborhood during evacuations and other emergency actions. Staff stated it
is consistent with the City's Land Development Code and supports a recommendation
of approval to City Council. Mr. Roth called for questions of the applicant or staff by the
Commissioners.
Ms. Kautenburg -- Regarding bringing this property into the City, it was being brought
in as zoning classification VLD, Very Low Density, and now it is being called RS-10.
She asked whether those two are the same classification. Ms. Frazier stated no, the
VLD is only for the land use. The RS-10 is due to the rezoning.
Mr. Roth -- Regarding the fact that there are wetlands on this property, there is a need
to make sure that that this is addressed properly, with regard to a second entrance/exit.
Hearing nothing further from the commissioners, Mr. Roth called on anyone from the
public either in chambers or on Zoom who wished to speak. There being no one, Mr.
Roth asked for additional input from the applicant. Mr. Dill had nothing further to add.
There being nothing further from the commissioners or staff, Mr. Roth called for a
