The biggest crowd Volusia County Manager George Recktenwald has ever seen a few years into his tenure at the helm filled the County Council's chambers and then some Wednesday night to raise objections to a huge fuel tank farm and rail terminal planned near Ormond Beach. At the end of the three-hour special meeting, the council unanimously voted to have county staff work with Belvedere Terminals of St. Petersburg on considering looking at a different site. The council also wants staff to meet with state and federal officials and review case law to determine what options the county may have.
