101 Chairman Ginn welcomed City of Sebastian City Manager Terrence Moore and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council's Urban Design Director Marcela Camblor. (CLERK' S NOTE* The following presentation was enhanced by a photographs and a copy has been placed in the backup in the office of the Clerk to the Board.) Terrence Moore was pleased to share the City of Sebastian's vision with regard to the future for CR 512. One of their goals and objectives is to compile comprehensive master plans for specific thoroughfares in the community. In the fall of 2000, they commissioned the TCRPC to assist them with the Charrette process whereby staff, elected officials, developers and citizens had an opportunity to get together to discuss CR 512. They are now ready to move forward, but the only missing link is a partnership with Indian River County as far as beautification and enhancements. He introduced Tracy Haas to give an overview of various enhancements. Tracy Haas, Director of Growth Management for the City of Sebastian, advised he is in the process of trying to implement the master plan for the CR 512 corridor on which presently there is a serious lack of landscaping and unappealing and unattractive architecture. With respect to the Land Development Regulations, they had already implemented a CR 512 overlay district similar to the SR 60 plan. He presented a commentary on the photographs and explained the requirements under their new proposals. One of the unique aspects of CR 512 is that there is a 74 foot building setback along the corridor and each property is required to incorporate a cross -access easement. The setback includes provisions for parking, driveway, and enhanced landscape buffers. They have incorporated new architectural styles to create more attractive buildings. They want to institute a tree canopy within the right-of- way with the cooperation of Indian River County to provide a more attractive boulevard, March 6, 2001 82 BKI 17 P6 3 44 I
