Vero Beach does not have anything close to the Urban Service Boundary, and they initiated the Task Force only because they thought it was important, and because of the talk of Charter government. He commended the Task Force for all its accomplishments and hoped everyone could all come to an amicable agreement sooner than later. Councilmember Fish questioned a map of Sebastian that depicted the southern boundary being at 69h Street, but on another it was 77h Street. Attorney Stringer clarified that it is presented in the Exhibit, 69th Street is the southern boundary and he believed Sebastian officials are willing to talk about moving that. He further stated that 77th Street is the boundary of the traditional neighborhoods section of their proposal; and from 77th Street to 69th Street they have the transitional area (the 1/unitper two acres). Councilmember Simchick remarked that every city has its needs and different flavors. She argued that under the reserve area, and regarding negotiations, the County had objections to Fellsmere and. Sebastian reserve areas, but the Agreement discussing the New Town philosophy states that "the designation shall not shift or be construed to shift the Urban Service Area Boundary." However, it goes on to develop very high buildings at 65 feet with 15 -feet architectural, not for occupancy. She pointed out that the County's standard is 35 feet and the County has made some exceptions to CVS, the Hospital, and Disney. She also observed that Exhibit "E" talks about massive transfers of density and land use mix in these New Town concepts, yet the County is able to develop these New Towns and have these conditions which are really too high in this specific. Although they have brought Fellsmere and Sebastian to the table, she felt the County needs to come to the table under the issue of "New Towns" and there were specifications if they were all working at this together. 13 July 23, 2008 / Joint Workshop ISBA, Sebastian
