Why did citizen Rex ask to pull these public records? Is the vested rights plot getting thicker?

What is the big deal here? This looks like a modern day "Witch Hunt" with lies, rumors and speculations being thrown about without supporting fact, and now it appears to have violated our civil right to due process and property.

If there is a plot against Ocean Concrete, then we have a big problem in IRC and with the more public information it would be easy to prove.

The record shows that elected officials were meeting in the homes of the opposition in back in January 2007. Did these officials disclose before they voted?  The rules of due process were not followed for changing code.  This code change was at the last minute and not founded on evidence. It was directed at Ocean Concrete to stop the project. 

I don't think you can make a law that has no real public purpose in the USA.

Why was this done?

Is it a legal plan, to enact a code and then apply that code to Ocean Concrete at the last minute stripping years of planning and investment from them and us?


I think it violates yours, mine and his constitutional right and if you touch one of those rights you steal them all!

Based on the information from the public records you need to decide for yourself if it was moral, just, and fair. Please, help me right this wrong!

March 20, 2007 is the very same day the commissioners of IRC voted to look at the pros and cons of changing the use tables. The first email at the bottom of this page is about 4 months before they applied this LDR to George's American dream. It looks like Rex wanted to pull the records relating to vested rights. Why? Rex states in this email there were lots of discussions about Ocean Concrete's vested rights. Is it legal to pull these email records? The bottom is 2007 and the top is last month.




Here is a link to the phone numbers at the City of Sebastian.
http://www.cityofsebastian.org/

Call the Mayor and ask where is the evidence supporting Rex Nelson's speculations about Ocean Concrete?
How can you pass a resolution based on rumors and lies?
Do emails that show how vested rights were going to stop Ocean Concrete?
Why did staff and elected officials meet out of the sunshine?
How can you pass a resolution against a development that has no supporting evidence?
Why did the city climb in bed with the opposition?

Sally, i will look over the file that u have but my email was an inquiry about what would be involved in getting the public records and not a public records request. Plebout ase do not spend any time on this as the county attorney has issued his opinion. Thanks Don Wright

Don –



Donna cc'd me on your records request and I asked her to hold until we spoke to Al to find out if this was something that was going to come up at the May 11^th meeting, was the issue specific to vested rights and estoppel issues, and if so, should all members of Council be copied on the material.



Donna and I sat with him a few minutes ago, and Al told me he had new information on vested rights and will be contacting you by phone shortly.



After your discussion with him, should you still want to view the records, Donna has them ready for your review.



Sally

Hi Don, 



Yes, it's reasonable – I can pull together the files we have for Ocean Concrete as well as the emails.  Would you want to just look at the documents here in the office or would you want copies to view/study at home?

John, George and Don,     This old email copy was edited to remove all the distribution lists and the reference button to "Spectrum of Uses Chart.  It was no longer available on my system.      It reminds me to make a suggestion to Don:  Perhaps Donna Cyr in Sally Maio's City Clerk's office could be prevailed upon to pull all the City and County records regarding Ocean Concrete and vested rights and equitable estoppel.  I recall between March 20 and July 2007, we had a lot of records about these subjects.  She's a whiz as I think you know, Don, and because Sebastian's Growth Manager, Rebecca Grohall  was copied on most all county documents we could have a complete briefing package for your May 11 meeting. (It's interesting to note Sebastian has an excellent Info retrieval system; the county has none.)      Thanks again to John who briefed by phone on vested rights as I drove in a driving rain storm to the March 20, 2007 BCC and to George for appearing there.  I didn't need to say a word.  George said all that was needed with amazing brevity.  I'll never forget it. Rex --- On Tue, 3/20/07, Rex Nelson <rexnelsy@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Rex Nelson <rexnelsy@yahoo.com> Subject: COMMISSIONERS: 5-0 on Request to Direct Staff to Start LDR and IL Zoning Change Process Date: Tuesday, March 20, 2007, 4:40 PM Yeah Team again,     Today the BCC, in a few minutes voted to initiate the LDR and IL zoning change process that would eliminate process industries in IL Districts. Not only was Stan Boling's Staff work effective, but his presentation supported by visuals was eloquent and persuasive. I didn't need to say a word. The opposition (as expected) did not appear.     The only question for discussion had to do with OCI being exempt from the proposed change. George Christopher questioned this point on the basis of a site plan applicant not having vested rights. He suggested as the proposal goes through the change process that this point be considered. Will Collins chimed in to say he also noted that issue in Stan's recommendations.     Thanks to our IRNA friends -- especially John Higgs and George Christopher we really received an above-our-expectations boost.     At tonight's meeting of  Sebastian Concerned Citizens, SCC, we'll need to be careful not to gloat and remind everyone that all along a legal appeal has been expected. We'll probably be involved in the three to four months of procedures. As I see it we can let up on the letters to the Planning Staff, but keep writing about settling the OCI fines. I'm sure we'll have some more cogent input in tonight's discussion. Many thanks for all your extremely hard work over the past 90 days, Rex Note: forwarded message attached. may be available at Donna Cyr's system in Sebastian City Hall
