Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final September 9, 2025 Plan has been carred forward and was codified in the LDRs. During the discussion, Commissioner Moss expressed concern about the removal of large paragraphs from the Plan and suggested that a definition be added to clarify the content. Administrator Titkanich emphasized that each zoning or Future Land Use Designation typically included a definition. Commissioner Adams proposed that including the definition of a TND from the relevant section of the LDRs could alleviate some concerns. Administrator Titkanich agreed to add that definition. **Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element Proposed Policy 1.1 ** County Administrator Titkanich discussed the proposed Policy 1.1 regarding new developments within the unincorporated portion of the County. It was suggested to strike specific wording related to Municipalities, emphasizing that approvals would only be granted when the capacity for the sanitary sewer was needed, either on-site or off-site. The recommendation was to keep the policy as is, removing the reference to Municipalities but retaining the focus on the unincorporated portion. To clarify the policy further, He recommended adding two notes: Note 1: The County and the City of Sebastian adopted an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) on September 20, 1995, which provided for the transfer of the City of Sebastian's Water and Wastewater System. The County acknowledged that it would provide Sanitary Sewer Services within the corporate limits of the City of Sebastian, in accordance with the provisions outlined in the ILA. This ensured clarity regarding the County's commitment to providing sanitary sewer and water services in that area. Note 2: The City of Fellsmere currently operated its own sanitary sewer collection system, while the County treated Fellsmere's wastewater effluent through an agreement. This agreement could be amended by mutual consent of both the County and the City, allowing flexibility should the City of Fellsmere wish to revisit and expand the agreement in the future. It also recognized the current conditions while allowing for potential developments. **Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element Objective 2** County Administrator Titkanich stated that Objective 2 has been revised with an updated time frame, changing from 2025 to 2045. The new long-range goal was to ensure that 60% of all users were connected to the County's Sanitary Sewer System. Indian River County, Florida Page 15
