Memorandum
To: Bennett Boucher, City Manager
From: Todd Peetz, City Planner
cc: Todd Morley, Building Official
Date: November 24, 2003
Subject: Non -conforming lots in R-2 zoning.
We recently reviewed a special exception request for residential (single
family) use for a commercially zoned parcel that was a non -conforming
lot of record. When this happens and if approved, the residential use
must comply with the rules found in R-2 zoning or zoning for town home
developments, Section 110-334(c)10.
The lot itself is similar to many vacant non -conforming lots in the City.
It is 50' x 125', equaling 6,250 sq. ft. and in the case of the special
exception is a corner lot. The parcel in question can meet the setbacks of
R-2 residential single family but not the lot width (75'), Section 110-
296(2) or overall minimum lot size (7,500 sq. ft.), Section 110-296(1)a.
This proposed request was tabled to allow further consideration and to
possibly amend the code. Again the parcel in question can meet all the
setback requirements, Section 110-297.
If this were an interior lot, and the applicant wanted to build a single
family home they could not; however, they could build two (2) town
homes. This could suggest that property owners with these non-
conforming lots of record must build town homes or are not permitted to
build single family homes.
The P&Z board felt this was an unintended result and recognized the
need to allow for single family homes. The discussion and
recommendation also recognized that property owners should still meet
the setback requirements found in the R-2 zoning district and that only
for lots that are official non -conforming lots of record. The City Attorney
prepared language to address this specific concern.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at 407-249-1503 or
by E-mail Planning4u2@aol.com.

Re: Mr. Lars Holfve
Dear Bennett,
Please advise as to the letter from Mr. Lars Holfve. I have been called on two
occasions in reference to this gentleman's claim as to his education. He has stated
on his application for placement on the Code Enforcement Board that he has
graduated with a BS Degree from a college in Sweden but, as per e-mail and
conversation from the college in Sweden, he has not attended college there
according to their records.
According to Mr. Holfve's letter to you, no date, he states the burden of proof is up
to the people, Mrs. Fredette and Barbara Krause, to prove him wrong. I believe
Mrs. Fredette and Mrs. Krause have given proof as e-mail from the college in
question have been sent to you as you have requested. Now, I think the burden of
proof is now up to Mr. Holfve.
The citizens of this city have the right to expect us as elected officials of this city to
uphold the highest standard and integrity of the Board members that serve
these citizens. I believe, as I have discussed with you in the past on several
occasions, this situation is not going to go away, as I have been contacted again
on this matter.
Please have Mr. Holfve produce the required proof on this matter, as the statements
in his letter bare no proof of a said BS Degree.
Your attention to this matter is appreciated.

TO ALL BREVARD MUNICIPALITIES
Attn: City/Town Managers
At its October 28th County Commission Meeting, the Board unanimously approved a
request for staff to prepare legislative intent and draft ordinances outlining proposed
zoning code amendments allowing legal fireworks sales only in the IU -1 classification
and prohibiting the illegal sale and use of fireworks; amend Section 78-115, Brevard
County Code to include "beaches'; forward the revised Legislative Request to the
Legislative Delegation requesting amendments to Chapter 791, F.S.; and place signs
reading "USE OF FIREWORKS PROHIBITED BY FLORIDA LAW" at each beach
access crossover.
Attached is the agenda report and accompanying documents for your information and
review.
Since the ordinance will be countywide, a secondary motion was approved to request
that each municipality be contacted as to its consideration of the Board's intent to
/ enforce current Florida Law. I would, therefore, appreciate you bringing the matter
before your Council/Commission and contact via mail/e-mail Commissioner Ron
Pritchard's office of your decision to concur with the County Commission. Commissioner
Pritchard established a "Fireworks Committee" in July with several cities participating in
this effort and will be working with County staff in preparation of the ordinance.
Thank you for your consideration, and please feel free to contact Commissioner
Pritchard at 455-1334 if you have questions or comments.
Respectfully,

impact in various sections of local and state legislation. A Fireworks Committee was formed with representatives from County
Requested Action:
It is requested that the Board direct staff to prepare legislative intent and draft ordinances outlining proposed zoning code amendments
allowing legal fireworks sales only in the IU -1 classification and prohibiting the illegal sale and use of fireworks; amend Section 78-115,
Brevard County Code to include "beaches"; forward the revised Legislative Request to the Legislative Delegation requesting amendments
to Chapter 791, F.S.; and place signs reading "USE OF FIREWORKS PROHIBITED BY FLORIDA LAW" at each beach access
crossover.
Summary Explanation & Background:
At its July 8th meeting, the Board requested that Commissioner Pritchard agenda the subject of illegal fireworks sales and use and its
impact in various sections of local and state legislation. A Fireworks Committee was formed with representatives from County
Departments, the State Attorney's Office, and the cities of Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Cape Canaveral, Melbourne and Rockledge
meeting monthly to investigate other cities/counties legislation and to formulate recommendations for future actions. The Space Coast
League of Cities and the city of Rockledge have recommended amendments to Chapter 791, F.S. to the Brevard Legislative Delegation as
one of their priorities for the 2004 Legislative Session.
Current Florida Law (Chapter 791, F.S.) prohibits citizens from recreational use of anything more than State -approved sparklers as well
as certain enumerated toys, novelties and trick noisemakers to celebrate any occasion, but its exceptions/exemptions allow consumers to
purchase rockets, mortars and other heavy illegal fireworks with only their signature on a waiver because the current law does not oligate
the seller to verify that the purchaser has a permit or other lawful right to use the items being purchased. In actuality, only certain
designated people are legally entitled to use fireworks in Florida; those include licensed explosives experts, miners, transportation
agencies for signal purposes or persons who use them to chase birds from agricultural lands or fish hatcheries. Section 5A-3.001/002 of
the Florida Administrative Code outlines the procedure for exemption through local law enforcement agencies; however, currently it is
not enforced in Brevard County. In addition, the law encourages the public to commit fraud by signing a "sham" waiver.
These actions shall not apply to sanctioned public displays of fireworks as set forth in Chapter 791, F.S. and Sections 10-40 and 46-12,
Brevard County Code for special event permitting.
State regulation began in 1941 restricting the use to only sparklers for non -licensed consumers and 62 years later, almost nothing has
changed. No one is attempting to take away the joys of celebrating Independence Day or New Years Eve, but "celebrating" does not give
one the right to endanger people's lives, properties, sea and wildlife. Most communities sponsor fireworks displays that are far more
"illuminating" and safe.
Polk and Pinellas Counties and the City of Orlando have approved ordinances regarding the sale and use of fireworks within their
jurisdictions. The City of Cocoa Beach recently approved an ordinance prohibiting the use of any fireworks on its beaches.
Over 100 notices of support for the above referenced actions have been received by District 2.
FISCAL IMPACT: As a deterrent, current state law would allow us to place signs on our beaches prohibiting the use of fireworks. The
cost of the signs at the county's beach crossovers would be shared by the county (Tourism and Parks and Recreation) and the cities along
the coastline. At this time the number of and total cost of signs are unknown.

Request for Amendment to Chapter 791, Florida Statutes
POSITION:
The Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida requests that the Brevard County
Legislative Delegation amend Chapter 791, Florida Statutes, to ensure strict compliance with the sale to
and use by those properly entitled to exceptions/exemptions found in Sec. 791.02, 791.04, and 791.07,
F.S.
BACKGROUND:
Current Florida law (Chapter 791, F.S.) prohibits the sale and use of all fireworks, as defined in Section
791.04(4)(a), F.S., with exemptions for:
• public displays (Sec. 791.02, F.S.)
• wholesale sale between state registered manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers (Sec. 791.04,
F.S.)
• sale for shipping directly out of state by manufacturers, distributors, or wholesalers (Sec. 791.04,
F.S.)
• sale to a person holding a permit from any board of county commissioners to be used at the
display covered by such permit (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• railroad or other transportation agency signal purposes or illumination use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• quarrying, blasting, or industrial use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• blank cartridges for a show or theater use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• signal or ceremonial purposes in athletics or sports use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• use by military organizations or Armed Forces of the United States (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• agricultural and fish hatchery use (Sec. 791.07, F.S.)
The Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida is concerned that firework sellers in the
State of Florida routinely sell illegal fireworks to individuals not properly entitled to the above listed
exceptions/exemptions for use which is not consistent with those exceptions/exemptions. In addition, the
Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida believes that many buyers misrepresent their
entitlement to said exemptions due to the fact that Chapter 791, F.S. lacks sufficient safeguards to ensure
strict compliance with its provisions. This practice creates a significant threat to the health, safety, and
welfare of the citizens and natural wildlife of the State of Florida. Therefore, the Board of County
Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida requests that the Legislature amend Chapter 791, Florida
Statutes, to require verified proof of entitlement to such exceptions/exemptions or to specifically permit
local governments to issue and require local permits for those wishing to exercise any such
exception/exemption.
APPROPRIATION:
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Enforcement costs currently undetermined.

The Committee met several times this summer with the express purpose of
reviewing statistics, current law, national and local support and enforcement
procedures, and will continue to work with County staff should the Board approve
the requested actions.
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Fireworks are considered to be hazardous and destructive materials, and
verification procedure is necessary to protect the health, safety and
welfare of the citizens of and visitors to Brevard County, and to ensure
that fireworks are only sold to those purchasers falling within the statutory
exemptions allowed under Chapter 791, Florida Statutes. (page 9)
Ban on consumer fireworks is supported by the National Fire Protection
Association, National Ophthalmology Association, National Fire Marshal's
Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of
Emergency Physicians, National Association of State Fire Marshals,
Space Coast Fire Chiefs Association.
• Seven states ban the use of all consumer fireworks (Arizona, Delaware,
Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode island).
Chapter 791, Florida Statutes prohibits the sale of illegal fireworks unless
a statutory exemption applies; the State has charged local law
enforcement agencies with the responsibility to enforce Chapter 791,
Florida Statutes and Section 5A-3 of the Florida Administrative Code.
(pages 7 and 9)
• The system currently used by sellers of fireworks does not provide for
verification of the purchaser's age or exemption status; and allows the
potential sale of fireworks to the general public which is prohibited under
Chapter 791, and certain fireworks retailers seem to be unable or unwilling
to restrict sales to individuals qualified to purchase fireworks under
Chapter 791, Florida Statutes. (pages 10-12)
• It would be desirable if all new, permanent, legal fireworks structures be
sprinkler -compliant and only be located in Industrial IU zoning areas.
• It would be desirable if the current permanent structures (6) have a
determined amount of years to be sprinkler -compliant — square footage
will be considered.
• Temporary tents selling fireworks shall be eliminated. (page 16)
• Selected Orlando's ordinance as a "model" as it better suits our
countywide ordinance needs. (pages 24-25)
• Add the word "beaches" to current Brevard County Code defining
prohibition of fireworks in recreational areas. (page 13)
• Define law enforcement procedures and penalties for sale and use of all
illegal fireworks — either BCSO or Code Enforcement or both.
• Chapter 791, Florida Statutes needs to be amended to close waiver
loopholes — position paper to Brevard Legislative Delegation.
• Signs on beach crossovers can work as a deterrent and are lawful
pursuant to Chapter 791, Florida Statutes.

FIREWORKS MEETING
MINUTES

MERRITT ISLAND SERVICES COMPLEX
2ND FLOOR CONFERENCE ROOM
11:00 AM
PRESENT:
County Commissioner Ron Pritchard, D2
Brad Hodge, Ops Commander, Satellite Beach Police Departmen,
Bennett Boucher, Cape Canaveral City Manager
Mike Taggert, Brevard County Fire Marshall
Michelle Jackson, Assistant State Attorney
Cliff Repperger, Assistant County Attorney
Charles Billias, Cocoa Beach City Manager

Commissioner Pritchard summarized the October 8 Legislative Delegation
Meeting's acceptance of the County's Legislative Request Package that did not
include the position paper on the amendments to Chapter 791, F.S. The County
Commission delayed action on this proposal until the Commission addressed the
entire issue at a future Commission Meeting. The Space Coast League of Cities
and the City of Rockledge did, however, include it in their priorities for the 2004
Legislative Session. Commissioner Pritchard stated he is confident that
Representatives Allen and Needelman and Senator Posey will support and
possibly sponsor the legislation.
Bennett Boucher, Cape Canaveral, distributed photos of the City's signs posted
at its crossover that list all prohibited "actions" on one sign. Discussion ensued
concerning use of the County's Sign Shop to produce signs for each of the beach
crossovers along the coastline including the affected cities. The request will be
part of the agenda report to the Commission. Sharon will check with each city
and the County for the number of signs needed.
Cliff Repperger reported that the draft ordinance was not complete as he was
awaiting statistical reports from the City of Orlando. He hopes to have it in draft
form within two (2) weeks.
Mike Taggert summarized the latest FTPA rewrite in that the fireworks "lobby"
worked with the association with new language that "consumer fireworks require
sprinklers over 6,000 square feet..." There was discussion as to black powder
limits set forth by the ATF, that the Committee would need evidence to lower the
square footage in order to meet legal challenges and utilizing professionals' facts
to refute the "6,000" number. The Committee was assured that local
governments could exceed stated numbers if backed up by appropriate data.
Additionally, questions arose as to the sale of fireworks at Publix, Eckerd's etc.
However, these stores only sell legal items that are not classified as explosives
and not items that would be considered actual fireworks.
Mel Scott outlined the procedures for amending the zoning code to include sale
of legal fireworks only in IU (Zoning) areas and the number of hearings required.
It is anticipated that it may take from three to six months for this process. Mel
feels certain that tents can be eliminated entirely. - He suggested that all
proposed actions be incorporated into the "Requested Action" agenda report.
Cliff Repperger and Michelle Jackson will revise the Legislative Position Paper
that will be incorporated into the Commission agenda requested action(s) so that,
if approved by the Commission, it can be forwarded to the Legislative Delegation.
Brad Hodge reported that there are sixteen (16) crossovers in the Satellite Beach
area that would require signs.
There was consensus that Commissioner Pritchard would submit an agenda
report for the October 21St Commission Meetinp, (NOTE: THIS DATE WAS
SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGED TO OCTOBER 28T ) including:
(1) proceed with draft ordinances for zoning code amendments and illegal
sale and use of fireworks;
(2) include "beaches" in Section 78-115, Brevard County Code;
(3) approve the revised Legislative Request for amending Chapter 791,
F.S.;
(4) approve signage on beach crossovers
The Committee will delay its next meeting so that it will know what the
Commission approves and to give Cliff ample time to complete the draft
ordinance and incorporate Orlando's statistical data. Mike Taggert and Frank
Scates will begin the collection of statistics appropriate to previous discussions.
The meeting adjourned at 12:00 PM
IT IS HOPED THAT AS MANY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AS POSSIBLE WILL

Requested Action:
It is requested that the Board direct staff to prepare legislative intent and draft ordinances outlining proposed zoning code amendments
allowing legal fireworks sales only in the IU -1 classification and prohibiting the illegal sale and use of fireworks; amend Section 78-115,
Brevard County Code to include "beaches"; forward the revised Legislative Request to the Legislative Delegation requesting amendments
to Chapter 791, F.S.; and place signs reading "USE OF FIREWORKS PROHIBITED BY FLORIDA LAW" at each beach access
crossover.
Summary Explanation & Background:
At its July 8th meeting, the Board requested that Commissioner Pritchard agenda the subject of illegal fireworks sales and use and its
impact in various sections of local and state legislation. A Fireworks Committee was formed with representatives from County
Departments, the State Attorney's Office, and the cities of Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Cape Canaveral, Melbourne and Rockledge
meeting monthly to investigate other cities/counties legislation and to formulate recommendations for future actions. The Space Coast
League of Cities and the city of Rockledge have recommended amendments to Chapter 791, F.S. to the Brevard Legislative Delegation as
one of their priorities for the 2004 Legislative Session.
Current Florida Law (Chapter 791, F.S.) prohibits citizens from recreational use of anything more than State -approved sparklers as well
as certain enumerated toys, novelties and trick noisemakers to celebrate any occasion, but its exceptions/exemptions allow consumers to
purchase rockets, mortars and other heavy illegal fireworks with only their signature on a waiver because the current law does not oligate
the seller to verify that the purchaser has a permit or other lawful right to use the items being purchased. In actuality, only certain
designated people are legally entitled to use fireworks in Florida; those include licensed explosives experts, miners, transportation
agencies for signal purposes or persons who use them to chase birds from agricultural lands or fish hatcheries. Section 5A-3.001/002 of
the Florida Administrative Code outlines the procedure for exemption through local law enforcement agencies; however, currently it is
not enforced in Brevard County. In addition, the law encourages the public to commit fraud by signing a "sham" waiver.
These actions shall not apply to sanctioned public displays of fireworks as set forth in Chapter 791, F.S. and Sections 10-40 and 46-12,
Brevard County Code for special event permitting.
State regulation began in 1941 restricting the use to only sparklers for non -licensed consumers and 62 years later, almost nothing has
changed. No one is attempting to take away the joys of celebrating Independence Day or New Year's Eve, but "celebrating" does not give
one the right to endanger people's lives, properties, sea and wildlife. Most communities sponsor fireworks displays that are far more
"illuminating" and safe.
Polk and Pinellas Counties and the City of Orlando have approved ordinances regarding the sale and use of fireworks within their
jurisdictions. The City of Cocoa Beach recently approved an ordinance prohibiting the use of any fireworks on its beaches.
Over 100 notices of support for the above referenced actions have been received by District 2.
FISCAL IMPACT: As a deterrent, current state law would allow us to place signs on our beaches prohibiting the use of fireworks. The
cost of the signs at the county's beach crossovers would be shared by the county (Tourism and Parks and Recreation) and the cities along
the coastline. At this time the number of and total cost of signs are unknown.

Request for Amendment to Chapter 791, Florida Statutes
POSITION:
The Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida requests that the Brevard County
Legislative Delegation amend Chapter 791, Florida Statutes, to ensure strict compliance with the sale to
and use by those properly entitled to exceptions/exemptions found in Sec. 791.02, 791.04, and 791.07,
F.S.
BACKGROUND:
Current Florida law (Chapter 791, F.S.) prohibits the sale and use of all fireworks, as defined in Section
791.04(4)(a), F.S., with exemptions for:
• public displays (Sec. 791.02, F.S.)
• wholesale sale between state registered manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers (Sec. 791.04,
F.S.)
• sale for shipping directly out of state by manufacturers, distributors, or wholesalers (Sec. 791.04,
F.S.)
• sale to a person holding a permit from any board of county commissioners to be used at the
display covered by such permit (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• railroad or other transportation agency signal purposes or illumination use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• quarrying, blasting, or industrial use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• blank cartridges for a show or theater use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• signal or ceremonial purposes in athletics or sports use (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• use by military organizations or Armed Forces of the United States (Sec. 791.04, F.S.)
• agricultural and fish hatchery use (Sec. 791.07, F.S.)
The Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida is concerned that firework sellers in the
State of Florida routinely sell illegal fireworks to individuals not properly entitled to the above listed
exceptions/exemptions for use which is not consistent with those exceptions/exemptions. In addition, the
Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida believes that many buyers misrepresent their
entitlement to said exemptions due to the fact that Chapter 791, F.S. lacks sufficient safeguards to ensure
strict compliance with its provisions. This practice creates a significant threat to the health, safety, and
welfare of the citizens and natural wildlife of the State of Florida. Therefore, the Board of County
Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida requests that the Legislature amend Chapter 791, Florida
Statutes, to require verified proof of entitlement to such exceptionslexemptions or to specifically permit
local governments to issue and require local permits for those wishing to exercise any such
exception/exemption.
APPROPRIATION:
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Enforcement costs currently undetermined.

The Committee met several times this summer with the express purpose of
reviewing statistics, current law, national and local support and enforcement
procedures, and will continue to work with County staff should the Board approve
the requested actions.
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Fireworks are considered to be hazardous and destructive materials, and
verification procedure is necessary to protect the health, safety and
welfare of the citizens of and visitors to Brevard County, and to ensure
that fireworks are only sold to those purchasers falling within the statutory
exemptions allowed under Chapter 791, Florida Statutes. (page 9)
• Ban on consumer fireworks is supported by the National Fire Protection
Association, National Ophthalmology Association, National Fire Marshal's
Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of
Emergency Physicians, National Association of State Fire Marshals,
Space Coast Fire Chiefs Association.
• Seven states ban -the use of all consumer fireworks (Arizona, Delaware,
Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island).
• Chapter 791, Florida Statutes prohibits the sale of illegal fireworks unless
a statutory exemption applies; the State has charged local law
enforcement agencies with the responsibility to enforce Chapter 791,
Florida Statutes and Section 5A-3 of the Florida Administrative Code.
(pages 7 and 9)
• The system currently used by sellers of fireworks does not provide for
verification of the purchaser's age or exemption status; and allows the
potential sale of fireworks to the general public which is prohibited under
Chapter 791, and certain fireworks retailers seem to be unable or unwilling
1
to restrict sales to individuals qualified to purchase fireworks under
Chapter 791, Florida Statutes. (pages 10-12)
• It would be desirable if all new, permanent, legal fireworks structures be
sprinkler -compliant and only be located in Industrial IU zoning areas.
• It would be desirable if the current permanent structures (6) have a
determined amount of years to be sprinkler -compliant — square footage
will be considered.
Temporary tents selling fireworks shall be eliminated. (page 16)
• Selected Orlando's ordinance as a "model" as it better suits our
countywide ordinance needs. (pages 24-25)
• Add the word "beaches" to current Brevard County Code defining
prohibition of fireworks in recreational areas. (page 13)
• Define law enforcement procedures and penalties for sale and use of all
illegal fireworks — either BCSO or Code Enforcement or both.
• Chapter 791, Florida Statutes needs to be amended to close waiver
loopholes — position paper to Brevard Legislative Delegation.
• Signs on beach crossovers can work as a deterrent and are lawful
pursuant to Chapter 791, Florida Statutes.

Re: POD storage regulation
Hi Bennett,
PODS are a hot topic in many jurisdictions. One reason is related to aesthetics, long term
placement in residential and commercial zoning districts. Another reason is safety, the PODs
could become a problem in hurricanes as they are not tied down like accessory structures.
Let us know if we can help.

Subject: Re: POD storage regulation
Hey guys,
We have some experience in the area which may be helpful to the City. We agree, normally POD sets
down a container and a week later it is picked up and moved to a storage location to await a delivery
order. But more and more folks are using them for on-site storage. This occurs both in residential and
commercial areas.
At 02:12 PM 11/24/03 -0500, Planning4u2@aol.com wrote:
Bennett,
I'll have to look at their website. I always thought the PODS were temporary like for a week or less and then
they took them away.
If I were to propose something it would be just that, no more than a week for a temporaty storage container or
moving truck. POD probably has some requirement, but I'm sure they are also happy to bill more if the user
needed one for a longer period of time. Now if Mr. Hoog doesn't want allow them at all, then that might just
be a policy decision since I don't see them as a listed allowable use currently in the residential areas.
The closest thing we have in the code is the parking and storage of boats and trailers in Section 110-554, but it
is more about vehicles and not containers. The other references to containers are for hazardous materials,
solid waste and recycling.
I would concur with Jeffs comments on aesthetics and other safety concerns as a reason to regulate them.
I also do not know off hand who else has a regulation for these temporary stroage containers, but I can do a
search if we need too.
Let me know

Subject:
City of Cape Canaveral - model shuttle project
Hello Everyone,
On behalf of the Mayor and City Council Members, I want to thank you for volunteering
to participate in this community project to build a model shuttle.
It's going to be fun and a labor of community pride and spirit for our area.
I plan on seeking the City Council's go ahead for this project on 12-2-03.
The shuttle model will be about the size of an SUV.
Some of the team members have started to secure materials, and the fabrication location
will be the high bay area adjacent to the police department at 111 Polk Ave., Cape Canaveral.
I'll be spending the month of December getting the work area and everything else organized.
The start of fabrication will be scheduled after the holidays.
If you have any questions, the best way to reach me is via email.
If you have any coworkers interested in volunteering, please have them email me.
I'll be sending updates to everyone as we progress.
Have a great holiday weekend.
Bennett Boucher
