Board of County Commissioners acts as a quasi judicial body when it hears requests for reasonzoning and conditional use permits. Applicants must provide competent substantial evidence establishing facts or expert witness opinion testimony showing that the request meets the zoning code and
comprehensive plan criteria. Opponents must also testify as to facts or provide expert testimony whether they like or dislike a request is not competent evidence. The board must then decide whether the evidence demonstrates consistency and compatibility with the
comprehensive plan and the existing rules in the zoning ordinance, property adjacent to the property to be reszoned and the actual development of the surrounding area. The board cannot consider speculation, non-expert opinion testimony, or poll the audience by asking those in favor or opposed to
stand up or raise their hands. If a commissioner has had communications regarding a resoning or conditional use permit request before the board, the commissioner must disclose the subject of the communication and the identity of the person, group, or entity with whom the communication took place before the
board takes action on the request. Likewise, if a commissioner has made a site visit, inspection, or investigation, the commissioner must disclose that fact before the board takes action on the request. Each applicant is allowed a total of 15 minutes to present their request unless time is extended by majority vote of the
board. The applicant may reserve any portion of the 15 minutes for rebuttal. Other speakers are allowed 5 minutes to speak. Speakers may not pass their time to someone else in order to give that person more time to speak. Good evening and welcome to the May 1st
uh planning and zoning meeting for the board of county commissioners. We have a quorum. I'll call the meeting to order. We have an imitation this evening by pastor Jeremy Copic of Faith Baptist Church. You're recognized and thank you for coming.

comment cards, I don't think. Right. Okay. We're going to go to H1 and Kim Rosena. If I may just read it into the record. Okay. Yes, sir. H1 is for Casabella Development LLC represented by Kimberanka requesting a zoning
classification change from BU1A to RU26 application number 24Z 000064 in district 4. Good evening chairman, members of county commission. My name is Kim Rosena. I'm here on behalf of Cababella Development LLC and Joe Deprima Construction.
Deprima Construction. Um I'm here to request a continuence until the July 17th meeting. Um, they've been in engineering design and they've got a couple of issues they need to resolve. So, they've asked that I seek a continuous till July 17th. Okay. Commissioners, this is in my district. I'm fine with it. Is there a motion to
continue to the July 17th? So, moved. I think he got you there this time. Okay. Uh, we have a motion by Commissioner Goodson. We have a second by Commissioner Delaney. Clerk will call the RO. Commissioner Delaney? Yes. Vice Chair Goodson? Yes. Commissioner
Atkinson? Yes, Commissioner Alman. Yes, Chairman Felner. Yes. Thank you very much. And so we'll go to H2. H2. Wayne and Laura Brassette represented by Kim Rosena. Request a zoning classification change from BU1 to
BU2. Application number 25Z 0005 in district 1. Good evening, Chairman Felner, members of the county commission. Kim Rosena here on behalf of Wayne and Laura Brassette and the contract purchaser, Home Nation Coco LLC. Uh the the purpose
of this resoning is to allow a mobile home sales facility to go on this 2.5 acres of vacant property. What I've given to you is the aerial map of the um of the land proposed to be reszoning to BU2. If you look immediately to the east
um just to the south of Lewis Drive, that uh little section there, that is the existing uh manufactured home, mobile home sales facility operated by the contract purchaser, Home, Nation Coco, and they're they're leasing that property. Their goal is to move it over
to this other property. Um it's a very low impact use. You've got a commercial nursery to the north, you've got commercial to the south, you've got a a church with a very large buffer to the east, and then you have this um existing use that's the same. Um talking to the
the purchaser, they have two to three people come in to the site a day. And these mobile homes, they stay there. They may come and go periodically, but they're not being sold from there. They're just display models. So, it's a very low intensity use. Uh if this were
um in BU1, it would have to have a U mobile home park attached to it. That's why it's able to be in existence on the west side of US1. Um according to the staff report, this is a commercial corridor. Uh this use does not indicate
that it would impact any levels of service. There would be performance standards and site plan criteria for buffering uh storm water, all those type of issues that come up during site plan. Uh the staff report says there's no material violations of any comprehensive
plan policies by this request and this does not encroach upon into existing residential area. So, um, there were concerns at planning and zoning regarding flooding, but again, um, that's because of an FDOT drainage easement, which if you turn to on the back side of that picture, you'll see
the plat of Brook Hill, which is, um, immediately to the south and east, and you can see the drainage easement, which is, uh, controlled by FDOT. And this property subject to the resoning is does not even attach to that as it hits at
the corner. Uh so but again as you know once storm water's put on a vacant piece of property it should help any any drainage. Um there were also issues raised about crime which was a little confusing um because this will be a fence facility. So with that um the uh
home nation cocoa representative Nick Dtori is here if you'd like to ask any questions. Otherwise we'd ask that you approve the resoning from BU1 to BU2. Okay. Are there questions for the applicant? You can go ahead. Okay. Commissioner Goodson, can you tell me, ma'am, because
your map is kind of limited. Um, the trailer park or the trailers you speak of across the street on the west side of US1, are they they're not mobile homes, they're travel trailers, or is the what is that? Um, the the homes along Lewis
Drive, I I believe some of those are manufactured homes. If you're looking to where the existing site is, um, that is just a a a manufactured home sales. But to the south of that is a mobile home park. So I don't know if that answers your question. No, it doesn't. Okay. I don't know what you mean by travel
trailers. Well, travel trailers would be something you could either drive, pull behind the truck as a far as a mobile home. The business that's moving from the west side to the east side. Are they in the mobile home business or are they in the travel trailer business? They're in the manufactured homes, mobile home
business. And Huh. And how far south is that from Canaveral Gross Boulevard? I I do not know that answer. How far south is it from the elementary school? Uh from Fair Glenn. Yes. Uh probably about half a mile.
Okay. All right. That's all. Commissioner Delaney. Thank you. Um when we had met, we had spoken about possibly um a BDP for the uh usage for the um BU1
with the allowable uh um to extend um uh I'm sorry to go to BU2 but have a BDP um for just mobile home sales. Yes. But also
allow for the BU1 uses as well. Yes, ma'am. And that is acceptable. Okay. Okay. Any other questions for the applicant? Um, is there discussion on the item? Commissioner Delin, it's your district. What would you like to do? I
would like to move to approve with the BDP condition of um that I just spoke about. If you could help me with that, Billy, maybe we could just say clearly, Mr. Chair. Yes. Okay. We're clear on that. Okay. All right. So, we have a motion by Commissioner
Delaney to approve with a BDP. Is there a second? Second. Okay. We have a second by Commissioner Alman. Clerk will call the role. Commissioner Delaney? Yes. Vice Chair Goodson? Yes. Commissioner Atkinson? Yes. Commissioner Alman? Yes.
Chairman Felner? Yes. We'll show that approved. 5-0. Thank you very much. Okay, we'll go to uh H3. H3. Troy Holdings LLC requests a change in zoning classification from BU1A to BU2 with
removal of a BDP and a new BDP BDP applied application 25Z 00001 in district 2. Thank you Cole Oliver for the applicant Troy Holdings LLC. This is a uh a repeat
from a 2023 hearing that we had before the board where we requested a BDP with the same use that's being requested tonight. That BDP was approved by the board and then it was subsequently not recorded because the then landowner at the time sold the property and the new property owner wasn't sure exactly what
they were going to do with it. Since then, the new property owner wants to move forward with that previous approved BDP and because it had timed out on when it could be recorded, we're here before you guys again. Um, it is uh a BUT use,
but the zoning would restrict it to only BU1A uses and that one solitary use in the BU2 category. So, there's no other concerns of other BU2 uses coming in there. in addition and some sensitivity to the neighbors to our south. The code
requires a 6-ft um wall and we've proposed an 8-ft wall and then the site plan that is currently in and the engineers here to talk about it if needed are requested um actually pulls back further away from the property line
the proposed buildings. So, um you know with that we're here to answer any questions that you all might have. Okay, we do have a few cards, but before we go to those, uh, questions for the applicant, sir. No question. Are there any questions for the applicant? No. Okay. Um, we'll come back to you then.
We'll go. Thank you. We're going to go to the other cards then. Uh, Mike McGraw. My name is Mike McGra. My residence is 60 North Tropical Way. I am directly to the south of this property.
I've lived there for 23 years now. Um, this is my third time here in regards to the same property and a lack of development every time we've come. The first time it was a car wash, which never developed. We were
here for a storage building facility the last time in 23. Nothing's happened. We're very concerned the residents that back up to this proposed storage area is that it is going to be what it says it's going to be and that
we don't up end up with an auto repair shop back there or a body shop. Um, I don't want a storage facility that becomes businesses that want to run businesses out of their storage units. This is a residence. This is not an
industrial area. The only thing that would make it slightly industrial is the 7-Eleven that's at the corner of Con and Courtney. Okay. There's a daycare center that is directly next to the back of the first building.
Um, I don't have a lot of aggressive attitude toward this development. I really don't. But I want to make sure that there's some guardians put up there for the residents. The noise factor, as I said, if we're going to agree on a BDP
that says we're going to put a storage unit there, and the storage units that are proposed seem to be almost identical except for a parking variation on the south boundary. So, I'm good with that. Okay. But the 8-oot wall on the south
boundary that mayor suggested the Merit Island Redevelopment Agency is I think a good idea. And I keep hearing the word wall. I want to make sure it's a wall and not one of these 8-oot PVC fences that when we get a cat too, it ends up
in my backyard or on my roof or on my pool enclosure. Regardless, we can't do the weather. But these are my concerns. These are the concerns of the other three residents that back directly up to this area. I want to make sure that there's
some form of security back there. We've had homeless encampments set themselves up and on that property in the past. The prior owner of the property kept it maintained, kept it mowed every month or so, and it was fairly decent. I want to
make sure that until they do that, this new guy has planted corn grass is what I call it. It's like a 4 foot tall grass on the property. So, these are just concerns. I I understand a man has a right to buy property, a woman has a
right to buy property and establish a business there, but it should be like in kind to the neighborhood. It should not be anything above and beyond that. So, those are the items that I really wanted to discuss. The law was discussed. Um,
we don't have people living on the premises. People aren't running pro running businesses on the premises and that there be security cameras and uh those cameras could be monitored by the owner remotely. I'm not asking for a
security guard on the property, but there is a canal that's directly behind there, and it looks like they're going to have retention ponds built in between there. So, we had water issues in the past, but that might have been corrected by the county. I'm not sure. We haven't
had a good rain yet. That's all I have to say. Thank you for listening. The one thing I did have a question. Pardon me. I question what the actual material for this is going to be. Is this going to be a barn structure with metal siding? We
call it in my business our panel or whatever. Um or is it going to be an actual concrete block structure? Is it going to be stuck out? What is the appearance going to be? Because I'm going to see it every morning. I'm going to see it every morning. And I don't mind seeing that
versus the 7-Eleven. Like I said, I'm not disagreeing with anything here major, but that they keep the property looking at least decent, and I don't think a metal structure is something. It's cheap. We'll we'll see if we can get these
concerns addressed, but I think Commissioner Goodson had a question for you, sir. Yes, sir. Have you with all your concerns, which are not two, I think there was seven you had. Have you spoke to the owners about your concern? I have not spoken to the owners. I did extend myself out to the attorney who
just spoke, Cole, and uh we had a very fruitful conversation. Um he can't tell the owner what to do there when I'm asking what kind of structures are you going to be put putting there? Are you, you know, what kind of regulations are you going to make? Are you going to make
it that people can't work on their cars, they can't work on their boats, they can't work on their RVs? Because this is going to be, you were discussing earlier, the campers. Okay. These are travel trailers, campers, RVs, whether AC class, whatever you want to call them, and
boats. So, you're going to have some light maintenance. I understand that. You know, you want to work on the awning on your RV or something, but I don't want power tools running all Saturday and Sunday and into 12:00, 1:00 in the morning because that's when they have
time available to restore their 67 Chevy. I hear you. Okay. We'll see if those items can be addressed before this. You smile. Do you have a 67 Chevy? Uh, no. But 57 Chevy? I
I had a 67 something at one time, so I do have old cars. He is a car guy. So, oh, that's all I do is go to car events. Okay. Are there uh are there any other questions for the neighbor here? Okay, sir. We're going to go to the your other neighbors. Thank you.
Okay. Steve Dudick. Dudsack. I say that. Hey, say say your name for your for the record there, sir. I might not have said it correctly. Good afternoon or evening or whatever it is. Uh my name is Steve Duchek. Uh I have
lived at 310 Riverside Avenue in Merit Island. lived there for more than 30 years. Raised my family there. My uh I am a widowerower. I have two children. My late wife worked for the county as a
county librarian. She worked in several places including the legal one in Titusville all the way up here to to Melbourne, too. My two daughters went to school in Bvard
County for K to 12. The uh right matter of fact right at that elementary school right near where this plot of land is. My oldest Stephanie or Stephie, she graduated with the at the University of
Florida School of Medicine. She's a surgeon. She lives in Denver, one at a big town. My youngest who is here, Margaret or Maggie, she uh
graduated with a master's in electrical engineering and from UCF and followed in my footsteps and works now at NASA like I did. the uh just a simple country boy.
Uh got a PhD in high energy physics, but I don't understand any of this stuff that I've been reading. So, I came here basically to see what's going on and what what the what is going to happen
and whatever. Maggie bought the house when it was zoned as a residential. It was quiet. The only thing as has been mentioned that is I would consider commercial is on the
norththeast corner is a 7-Eleven. Now, why they put a 7-Eleven there, I don't know, because right across the street is another convenience store with the gas pump. So, those two are in only that one
corner. If you go south on that street alongside Courtney, you get to a child school center where the the little kitties and then there's a hair salon and that's the extent of the
commercial. I was not that impressed when I read the artic articles written because the impression I got was there's all kinds of commercial development and this would fit right in Courtourtney. You've all I'm sure
you've all gone up and down Courtney. That's a major street. It's a perfect buffer because across the street from this place, the first row of facilities, there's a church, there's a doctor's office, and then there's this other
convenience store. All of the commercial garages and repair shops and all that stuff are past that farther on east. the street she lives on. There are
24 houses in this U. The sign says no outlet. You go in off of Courtney, you go around, you come out the other side on Courtney. There's no other way to go. If you look at an aerial, all all the
houses around there, all the way toward the west, all the way south, those are all houses. They're not any kind of commercial. Now, I have no problem with putting up things that would blend in or fit in there in
this with that. My question is that I had and this is probably personal. I sat through one of these zoning things when the car wash was
attempted, when the storage unit was attempted, and the commission made a point that, you know, they couldn't understand why since within a very small distance there were four car washers
already. There's half a dozen storage units around there. So, you know, there was another ulterior motive to my way of thinking and it came out when I found out that when they re what they reason
they wanted a car wash was that would increase the level of what that facility would be zoned as. Now, what puzzled me is why when they didn't do
it, they wasn't sent back to the original zone. And my final comment was at the last meeting, my daughter asked the commission, if this sto RV and boat
storage facility is not built, will this revert back to the original zone? We'll see if we can get that answer. No answer. We'll we'll see if that comes up on this item. Okay. Thank you, sir. I'm
finished. Thank you for listening. And uh you mentioned your daughter. I think Maggie's next. I have a I have a card. Hi, I'm Maggie Duchek. I'm at 70 North Tropical Way. I am the one that went to Tropical Elementary School. Um and I
have he kind of said the same thing, but that is my concern. And even when I was listening to mother things, they were talking about going from BU1 to BU2. My concern with this whole thing is that it's going from BU1A to a B2 classification. And even in the BDP, it
says or other BU1 uses. To me, that's a huge step. I know what they're doing. I love the extra step back. I have to say they've been listening. I love the improvements from even what they submitted two years ago. It's very better for, as he says, seeing
it every day or listening or whatever. But that is my huge concern. I'm I'm an engineer. I don't deal in grays. So, if this gets passed, they do this, it's great, and then well, we can't do it for one reason or another or the egress or something. There's not an issue. Yeah,
we tried, but let's see what other BEu won without coming back to the board or zone to get it approved. So, that is my big concern. But as I said, I am I do know that they have done some changes and if they stick to them all, again, don't work in grays. Um I I do approve
of what they're trying to do. Okay. Thank you. Commissioner, did you want to ask something? Yep. Yes. Um Billy, is it do I understand correctly that the developer wants to they didn't register their BDP in time and there's ask asking
to do it now. Is that correct? They're not changing anything with it, are they? That is correct. It's the same request that the board effectively is the same request that the board previously approved. It was reverted because it didn't wasn't recorded. Now, as far as um what the owner might do with the land
right now, it seems like the owner wants to store boats and trailers and motor homes. Is that correct? That is correct. And I understand he's willing to enter into a BDP to limit the BU uses to that one use. Okay. And if you uh any owner
that would have land would not really be would not like it if you were draining oil on his land and changing motors on his land because of the inh the influx of contaminating the soil. Right. That seems to make sense to me, Commissioner. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay.
That's So right now we're doing nothing but registering the first original BDP that we voted on. It's effectively a repeat, right? Okay. Do you do you agree? I agree. It's a repeat, but it's my same condition that it's not if they're not building what
they say they're building, it's not going back to what it was because that's a B1A. Okay. That's my that's been my heartburn from the beginning. Can you comment to her comment, sir? If the BDP is recorded this time, it wouldn't revert if they didn't build something. It could remain vacant. They all they
would however be limited to the terms of the new BDP which is all BU1 uses but the one BU2 use of the outdoor storage which is an increase from the current B1A. Well, would it be fair to say a storage
facility whether you're storing clothes or storing boats in a storage facility or not? What is your thought? Oh, you just turned it off. Uh, yes. I agree with the storage, but I also know there's a big difference between what 1A allows and what 1A allows. Okay, that's what my that's like I said, and I know
that they've done concessions. So, if they build this, I I mean, it'll change the view, but I'm appreciative of what they are to do that. My concern because I'm negative is something happens and now without having to go back through this whole thing, they can build whatever BU1 they want on it. Okay.
Without the setbacks. One more. Yes, sir. Billy, it would be true during the site plan review a lot of this stuff could get fought off, answered or complained about or changed. Is that correct? Absolutely. Yeah. Are we
invited? Sorry. Are we invited to that? Fly, are they? I I would think they No, generally site planning is an administrative process. But but if they had concerns, would they be notified that it's in for review? Um, generally no. No.
Have you asked the u owners to keep you informed on that? No, I haven't. But would you keep them, Mr. Cole, informed on that? Yes, sir. The owner would be able to agree to that. Okay. Is that okay? I mean, that would be a start, right? It is. I agree. It's better than
we've had in the past. So, thank you. Yes. Okay. All right. I don't have any further questions. Thank you, ma'am. Cole still has some uh rebuttal time. Go ahead. Commissioner, is there um a a possibility of keeping the BU1A with the
BDP of the BU2 usage for this? I don't I you know, BU2 I I as far as I know the board's never done that because you know the BU2 it's kind of two classifications up now. you're putting in a use from so but um I don't
know of any rest stopping the board from doing that. Okay, that sounds a little problematic. Um no. Yeah, I'm sorry commission. Um I think that the application is for the BU1 with the BU with the you know with
the BU2 use of RV and boat storage with the BDP doing the limitations. So if the board was going to keep it at BU1A, then that would be that that would be a different something different than what has been advertised than that. That
would be something you'd have to take into consideration. So it would be a lesser lesser request than what than what has been advertised. Does it have to go back to planning zone? Uh it you don't have a recommendation from
them with the BU1A. Right. Right. And I do and I do believe that the planning and zoning was good with the request they were. Okay. We still have some rebuttal time left for uh the applicant. So Cole, do
you want to address some of these things maybe? Yeah. Yeah. You know, a couple of them again addressing the neighbor's concerns to the south. We did work with the owner to try to back the buildings off more and increase the height of the wall. And in addition to the eight foot wall, I believe the code requires a 20 foot
landscape buffer after the wall as well, which you know, of course, will meet all the, you know, county code requirements. I also I'm not positive, but I believe that the code restricts uh businesses from operating out of there. If not, that's something we could add to the
business to the BDP to address that concern where there'd be no operating businesses out of there. So, that I would hope would take away some of that concern. Um, again, we're here, you know, I have met with the neighbors, talked with them on the phone several times and tried to work through this the
best we can with us. Um, and you know, we believe the BU1A is is the same as the neighbor to the north. So, I understand their concerns. So, we're trying to kind of meet in the middle there. So, we were hoping that with the increased wall height, the landscaping buffers, and the offer of not conducting
u, you know, an operating business out of there that that could get us the approval tonight. So with that, I would uh take any um you know questions that you all have. Commissioner Goodson, I would move for approval. Motion for approval. Did do you with the just as it
is the BDP and him continue to work with the residents and make them happy. All right. Okay. Best you can continue to work with can always make them happy, but we'll try our best. Right. I hear you. Okay. Okay. Could could I make a
friendly uh amendment to include um no businesses operating out of the bays? I honestly don't see it. All sounds so good and so perfect, but if you know anything about a storage facility,
um are you going to be able to enforce that totally? Because what if a guy brings his lawnmowers there, puts them in storage, picks them up the next morning at 10 o'clock, and leaves and cuts grass. Is he operating a business out of there? I um I don't know. Could I
for clarification? I I obviously there are a lot of these metal buildings where basically individual garage bays are are operated. and and I I suppose your owner is not looking to do that otherwise they would they'd be going a different route
here is and I and I think that's the concern of of the neighbor. So is there um on this point is there is there just simply some way that that we can say that that's not going to happen. So the the way I've seen it done in the past is that the the business tax um licenses
aren't attached to the premises and you know that's something that we're fine with. Now, if someone's coming and going throughout the day with stuff, you know, I wouldn't consider that operating their business out of there. Their business, if to your example, the landscaping, their business is in the people's yard. Now, they may have their equipment
stored there and they're they're leaving, but that's not where they're conducting their business in my opinion. Right. So, they're not operating lift in there and you know, impact wrenches and all that kind of stuff. Uh, is is though it's I think that's what you're looking
correct, Commissioner Goodson. Is that um No. Okay. Okay. We had Okay, we have a motion for approval with the uh the original BDP. We have a second. We have
a I'm sorry, a motion by Commissioner Goodson. We have a second by Commissioner Atkinson. Clerk will call the role. Commissioner Delaney. Yes. Vice Chair Goodson. Yes. Commissioner Atkinson. Yes. Commissioner Alman. Yes.
Chairman Felner. Yes. We'll show the item approved. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. H4. Uh, Mr. Chair. H4 and H5 are companion applications. I'll read them both into the record. We're requesting separate
motions on each. Ryan and Sarah Lawan request a small smallcale comprehensive plan amendment uh 25s.01 01 to change the future land use map designation from res 1 to 2.5 to res 1 application number 25
SS00001 in district 1 and H5 is Ryan and Sarah Lawren request a zoning classification change from GU and SR with the BDP to RR1 with the removal of the BDP application 25Z
00002 in district 1. Sir, you're recognized. Uh Ryan Lahan, 155 South Court Avenue. And Sarah Leah Han, 155 South Court Avenue. Okay. Thank you for having us today. Um like I said, my name is Ryan. This is my wife, Sarah Leah Han. Uh she's currently pregnant
with our two twin boys. Uh we are now five months. Uh we've been working hard, saving for years with a dream of buying property here in Bard County. Um I was actually born and raised here and we're ready to build our first home. We're excited to finally be in the process of making that dream happen. And today,
we're asking for a zoning change so we can move forward with building our home. Back in January, we attended a homeowners association meeting with the Veronica State Subdivision to explain why this zoning change is necessary for our lot. Everyone was incredibly kind and supportive. They were especially
